Item # GRM009FVisualize traffic without taking eyes off the road.
There's nothing that's going to magically make all the vehicles on the road disappear, but at least you'll be able to visualize how fast they're approaching while simultaneously alerting them of your existence with the Garmin Varia RTL510 Radar Tail Light. This seatpost-mounted tail light is equipped with a radar unit that detects traffic from up to 153 yards behind you, so you'll never have to look over your shoulder, only to swerve to the side of the road as a vehicle speeds past you with reckless abandon.
This tail light delivers 220-degrees of red illumination that's seen up to a mile away by rearward traffic, so you'll easily be spotted by traffic, regardless if you're riding in the city or countryside. It pairs with Garmin's separately available head units, watches, and eyeglass attachments to provide a visual indicator of just how close and fast rearward traffic is approaching. Among these compatible devices are the ever-popular Edge series of head units, Phoenix series of watches, and Varia Vision In-sight Display that neatly attaches to your glasses.

Less Looking Over Your Shoulder
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've had this product for a while now. It is very effective out on the road. You can ride out in the smoother part of the lane and get audible warnings of approaching vehicles on your Garmin Edge, as will as depiction of the vehicle(s) on the screen in red, and a green all clear when they have all passed. The flash rate also increases to help catch the driver's attention when the radar senses them. Very few false alerts. Nice, bright, and rechargeable. Solid construction as with most Garmin devices. Much more effective than the previous version. You need all the protection you can get when road cycling with all of the distracted drivers out there.
Will this work with an older Garmin 510?
Does this sync and work with a Garmin 520?
Hi Paul, the Varia RTL510 will indeed work with the Edge 520.
