Varia Radar

"Great product, never ride road or gravel without it!"

— Rick D. (5/5)

Essential

"this is my 2nd Varia. The first lasted 5 years! Only quibble that it uses micro usb, which is like a decade out of date. Update that to usb-C, Garmin. Charging is slow and I have to bring a separate cable just for this."

— Daniel T. (5/5)

The Garmin Varia taillight worked

"The Garmin Varia taillight worked great and interfaced well with the Garmin 540 computer. The taillight picked up all traffic approaching from the rear. Highly recommended!"

Great product and great customer service

"I bought this light as a gift and my son is really happy with it. I want to give a shout out to the team at the Mike’s Bikes in Willow Glen. Austin went out of his way to help me order the light in the store and get it shipped to Denver with free shipping. Thanks so much!"
