Garmin Offers New Varia eRTL615 Car-Detecting Radar Taillight

Garmin has launched its latest e-bike-specific taillight called Varia eRTL615, which is designed to not only enhance rider visibility, but also provide both visual and audible alerts of approaching vehicles when paired with select Garmin devices or the Varia app.

“As eBike riding becomes more and more popular, we are pleased to bring our trusted radar technology to this growing group of cyclists. No matter where the next adventure leads, explore with ease knowing that Varia eRTL615 has your back while you ride ahead.” – Dan Bartel, GarminVice President of Global Consumer Sales.

Ride with greater peace of mind

• Maximum awareness: When paired with select Garmin smartwatches, Edge cycling computers, or a smartphone with the Varia app, visual and audible notifications can warn of vehicles approaching from behind—up to 150 yards away.
• Superior visibility: Alert drivers to a cyclist’s presence as soon as possible with a tail light that is visible up to a mile away in daylight conditions and a light-flash pattern that changes when an approaching vehicle is detected.
• Adjustable light modes: Four tail light modes—solid, peloton, night flash and day flash – offer more visibility to drivers in a variety of conditions.

Featuring a sleek and compact design, the Varia eRTL615 offers multiple mounting options, along with a universal seat rail mount or a rack/pannier mount for $299.99.
