“For years, cyclists around the world have trusted our Varia rearview radars to enhance their awareness of approaching vehicles during a ride, and we are thrilled to add the new RCT715 to the lineup of ‘must-have’ cycling safety products,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales. “Now, cyclists can head out for a ride knowing the Varia RCT715 rearview radar activated tail light will notify oncoming cars to the presence of a rider, and the built-in camera will continuously record their surroundings and provide video evidence of an incident, should they ever need it.”

Here’s what’s new for the Varia RCT715:

  • Built-in camera: Capture sharp, clear footage at up to 1080p/30 fps during any ride.
  • Automatic incident capture: If an incident is detected, video footage from before, during and after the event will automatically be saved.
  • Additional Varia app functionality: Easily access video footage, transfer videos or customize camera settings, such as data overlays.

No matter where, or when, a cyclist rides, the Varia RCT715 continues to provide Garmin’s unparalleled cycling safety features, including:

  • Maximum awareness: Visual and audible notifications warn of vehicles approaching from behind, up to 153 yards away.2
  • Superior visibility: The tail light can be seen up to a mile away, which can make it easier for drivers to see a cyclist before the radar sees the vehicle.

Featuring multiple pairing options, the Varia RCT715 can be used with a compatible Garmin Edge® cycling computer, Garmin smartwatch, or the Varia smart device app. When paired with a compatible smartphone, it integrates with select third-party apps, such as Ride with GPS, to let cyclists overlay their maps with rearview radar notifications.

The Varia RCT715 features up to 4 hours of battery life with radar and tail light on solid high or night flash and up to 6 hours with radar and tail light on day flash – all with the camera continuously recording at 1080p. The Varia RCT715 has a suggested retail price of $399.99 and is available now on garmin.com.
