Tips for Installing the Taillight

The Varia™ RTL device includes a taillight and micro radar that can detect approaching vehicles up to 140 meters away.

  • Select a secure location to mount the device where it does not interfere with the safe operation of your bike.
  • Select a mount that best fits your bike.
  • Mount the device as high on the seat post as possible for optimal light visibility and radar detection.
    NOTE: The mount surface should be vertical.
  • Install the device correctly.

    The device faces backward and is parallel to the road. The Garmin® logo is right-side up.

  • Go for a test ride during the day in a safe environment.
