Garmin Varia RTL515 Rearview Radar Taillight – Ride Safer, Stay Aware

Meet the little guardian watching your back. The Garmin Varia RTL515 pairs a bright, attention-grabbing taillight with rear-facing radar that spots vehicles up to 140 metres away and alerts you through your Garmin Edge, smartphone, or compatible device. Whether you're cruising quiet backroads or navigating busier streets, the Varia keeps you informed and visible. ANT+ and Bluetooth® Smart connectivity make pairing seamless, while multiple light modes ensure drivers see you long before they reach you. Use it as a full radar/light combo or as a standalone taillight—either way, it’s a game-changer for everyday road safety.
