“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.
- 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.
