Introducing the first rearview bike radar with camera and taillight! Brand new for 2022, this incredibly tiny, sleek bike radar takes your ride to the next level. The Varia's bright taillight warns drivers over a mile away that you're up ahead, and the built-in radar warns you when they're approaching. The built-in 1080p camera is always watching and can be set to record your entire ride or automatically save footage of an incident when triggered by the built-in accelerometer. The Varia can also connect to other devices and third-party apps including the Garmin Edge, and Garmin Watch, providing you with real-time ride analytics.
Built-in Camera
Capture audio and video of what’s behind you at up to 1080p at 30fps. Set it to record continuously or only when a radar detects a vehicle behind you. Ride with peace of mind, knowing you're back is covered.
Automatic Incident Capture
An accident on a bike can be traumatic, the built-in accelerometer will automatically save the footage to your phone when it detects an incident so you don't have to.
Varia App
The Varia app allows you to easily access your footage, watch your radar, transfer videos, or customize setting.
Maximum Awareness
The radar provides visual and audible alerts when vehicles approach from behind up to 153 yards away.
Multiple Pairing Options
Pair your radar with one of Garmin's Edge bike computers, Garmin watches, or one of many third-party apps to control your device.
Third-Party Apps
