Edge Bike Computer

WARNING

The device can improve situational awareness. It is not a replacement for cyclist attentiveness and good judgement. Always maintain awareness of your surroundings, and operate the bicycle in a safe manner. Failure to do so could result in property damage, serious injury, or death.

NOTE: Before you can view the Varia™ radar data, you must pair the compatible accessory with your bike computer (Pairing with a Watch or Bike Computer).

When connected to the Varia RearVue 820 radar tail light, your compatible Edge® bike computer shows the vehicle column on the side of the screen when a vehicle is approaching you from behind.

An icon 1 along the side of the screen represents a vehicle behind you. The size of the icon represents the size of the vehicle, as detected by the radar.


Bike computer screen with radar overlay and a callout

The vehicle icon moves up the screen as the vehicle approaches you, representing the vehicle's position relative to you.

The radar calculates a threat level based on vehicle size, speed, and lateral distance from your path. An orange glow under the vehicle icon indicates that the vehicle is a mid-level threat. A red glow under the vehicle icon with the Red warning symbol symbol over the vehicle icon indicate that the vehicle is a high-level threat.

When the radar detects a threat, the bike computer emits an audible tone and the screen has a red or orange overlay, depending on the calculated threat level. When all threats are cleared, the bike computer emits another tone and the screen has a green overlay.
NOTE: You can configure the threat alerts within the Sensors menu on your Edge bike computer (Alert Settings).
