With advanced vehicle tracking, superior battery life and a brighter tail light than ever before, cyclists can ride with greater peace of mind
OLATHE, Kan., Feb. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today announced Varia™ RearVue 820, its most innovative radar tail light that can help cyclists be more aware and visible while riding on the road. New advanced vehicle tracking detects a vehicle's size, side-to-side movement and categorizes threat levels as the vehicle approaches from behind with alerts displayed on compatible Garmin cycling computers or the Varia smartphone app, thanks to more powerful and precise radar technology. This radar tail light is Garmin's brightest yet and serves as a brake light when slowing or stopping, so riders can feel confident about their visibility to motorists and other cyclists while on the road. And with superior battery life of up to 24 hours in day flash mode and up to 30 hours in radar only mode, cyclists can ride even longer with greater awareness and peace of mind.
