  • Our take on the Varia RCT715

    The Garmin Varia RCT715 is a rear bike light with a built-in radar and a camera that records what happens behind you. The radar tracks approaching vehicles and warns a paired Garmin head unit or phone, while the camera captures footage automatically when it senses a car. It suits road and commuter riders who want awareness of traffic behind them and a record of incidents. Rivals like the Varia RTL515 drop the camera; the RCT715 adds that evidence but is heavier and has shorter battery life than the radar-only model.

    Questions and answers

    How is the RCT715 different from the Varia RTL515?
    The RCT715 adds a camera that records automatically when radar detects traffic. The RTL515 is radar and light only, so it is lighter and lasts longer per charge.
    Does it work without a Garmin bike computer?
    Yes. It pairs with the Varia app on a phone for radar alerts and camera control, though the integrated experience is best on a Garmin head unit.
    How long does the battery last?
    Runtime depends on mode; with radar, light and camera all active it is shorter than the radar-only model. Expect to charge more often on long rides.
    Can I review footage after a ride?
    Yes. Clips are stored on the device and can be viewed and saved through the Varia app on a paired phone.
    Is it worth it over a radar-only taillight?
    If you want a record of close passes or incidents, the camera adds real value. If you mainly want traffic warnings, the lighter radar-only model is simpler.
    Where is the Varia RCT715 cheapest?
    At H8BIKES, for $399.99, as of our latest check.
