Customer Reviews

Garmin Varia Rearview Bike Radar RVR315 is rated 4.9 out of 5 by 9.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best bit of safety kit I've bought for a bike This black box is a radar. It detects cars coming up behind you and indicates on your Garmin cycle thingy on the handlebars that there's a car coming up behind you. You need a compatible Garmin device on the handlebars, but I've got the simplest and cheapest one (Edge130) and it works fine. As for whether it's worth buying - it's brilliant. It never misses a car and even detects other bikes. It picks up motorcycles and electric cars (silent) and lets you know they're there. As a piece of safety kit it is utterly "must-have" I would feel naked (riding as I do on country roads) without it. You might turn it off in town as it would be going off all the time - but even then unless you're in central London it's probably not too much. In years to come these will be compulsory and built into the bike itself.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wouldn't ride a bike without one anymore Already had a rear light and had seen Varia in use so bought this. Works really well, more so when it's windy and you can't hear traffic coming up behind you. Gives that extra bit of confidence at right hand junctions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from IMHO Works Well I ride mainly on very quiet country lanes. The unit has worked really well on the two rides I've done since receiving it. It really made me aware of the speed at which some drivers approach you. I have it linked to both my Garmin 830 and my Fenix 5 watch so get a double beep. Only over time will I get a true sense of how good the unit is. It's small and inconspicuous and improves awareness. My only criticism is the crappy way it fixes to the seat post with an elastic band. Garmin should supply the unit with the separately available seat post clamp.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Feel much safer using this This device is amazing and can be relied upon (but for safety you should still look over you shoulder before a manoeuvre !). It clearly shows what is coming up behind you whether it’s one or multiple vehicles. You get plenty of notice with the 140m range, long before I can hear a vehicle coming. A little bleep alerts you to traffic and you can see the progress of each vehicle as a little dot moving up the right of the screen. I also like the way it flashes green when the road is clear behind. I feel much safer using this and would highly recommend it.
