FAQ

How far does the RCT715 radar detect vehicles?: The radar detects approaching vehicles up to 153 yards (140 meters) away and transmits alerts to your paired Garmin Edge computer, smartwatch, or the Varia app on your phone. The further away vehicles are detected, the more time you have to react and adjust your line.

Does the camera record continuously?: Yes. The camera continuously records 1080p video on a rolling loop, automatically overwriting older footage. If incident detection senses a crash, the device automatically saves the surrounding footage so you have evidence of what happened. A microSD card is required and sold separately.

How long does the RCT715 battery last?: Up to 4 hours when running radar plus tail light in solid high mode with continuous camera recording, or up to 6 hours in day flash mode. Battery life varies based on settings and which features are active. Recharges via standard USB.

Best For

Cyclists who want maximum rear awareness and ride documentation in a single device. Ideal for road riders, commuters, and anyone who wants radar alerts, tail light visibility, and continuous video recording without managing three separate devices on their seatpost.
