Third eye
Until now, cyclists have had to rely on rear-view mirrors, shoulder vision or a good sense of hearing to anticipate what is happening behind them. However, each of these methods reaches its limits at some point and carries a certain risk. The Varia bike radar shows up to eight vehicles approaching the cyclist from behind at the same time on the display unit or a compatible Edge bike computer from Garmin. In conjunction with an Edge bike computer, the bike radar data is displayed using a color overlay - so the rider can keep an eye on all other Edge data.

The Garmin Varia bike radar warns the approaching vehicle by means of the brightening rear light and at the same time informs the cyclist on the display. This should give the cyclist the necessary reaction time and ensure safe participation in road traffic.

Thanks to the display unit of the Varia bike radar or the coupling with a compatible Edge bike computer, the cyclist is informed whether a vehicle is approaching and how far away it is. If a car is approaching, the rear light of the bike radar lights up more brightly to provide an additional warning to approaching vehicles.
