Garmin Varia RearVue 820 rear radar light

With its Varia RearVue 820, Garmin promises to continue revolutionising cycling safety by combining a powerful rear-facing radar with a high-performance red light. This next-generation model, which succeeds the classic Varia, detects vehicles up to 175 metres away with an expanded field of view. It identifies the size of the vehicle – whether it’s a motorbike, a car or a lorry – and assesses the level of threat in real time. This radar offers advanced vehicle tracking by displaying lane changes. Alerts are clearly displayed on your Garmin cycle computer or via the app, allowing you to keep your eyes on the road. These alerts can be visual and/or audible.

With a claimed visibility of up to 2 kilometres, this rear light reaches 100 lumens in Day Flash mode. It offers several lighting modes (steady, peloton, day/night flash, custom mode) and features an automatic brake light function that shines brighter when you brake. Waterproof to IPX7 standard, with a battery life of up to 24 hours and weighing just 90 grams, it will quickly become an essential accessory for all your cycle rides. With its sleek and compact design, this rear light is quick to fit using a new seatpost mount compatible with the vast majority of bikes.

Thanks to all these features, the Varia RearVue 820 Garmin is simply perfect for cyclists who want maximum peace of mind, visibility and safety on the road amongst other road users.
