Customer Reviews
The visual red alert is great as anything approaches from behind. The time it takes for a vehicle coming from behind is very short. Only about 3 seconds at 55 to 70 mph is not much time to do anything evasive.If a vehicle lost control and headed right at you, not much could be done to avoid getting hit from behind in my opinion. The RTL515 model I have has a very bright flashing red light. Warning!!! Do not look straight at this light !! It is visible a long way from your bike. Great when riding on roads or trails. It connects with my Bryton S800 nicely and is detected via Bluetooth quickly and automatically once turned on. Make sure Bryton is turned on first of course. I also have it connected to my smartphone with the Varia app and the warning screen is much larger and easier to see vehicles approaching from behind. This device is well worth the investment for personal safety while riding on roads or trails. With a battery life expected to be around 15 hours in flashing mode, this is plenty for a full day of riding at least for me. The one thing I find frustrating is Garmin still uses the old style charging cord, USB-mini, not USB-C. Come on Garmin wake up and get with the program, make it USB-C !!!
