Garmin releases the new RearVue 820, its "most powerful radar tail light": Is it still the gold standard?

· By Endurance Wire

Garmin today unveiled its new Varia RearVue 820, a radar tail light that promises “advanced vehicle tracking, superior battery life and a brighter tail light than ever before”. At £259.99, it costs considerably more than the Varia RTL515 , so will it set the new standard for radar rear lights? Here’s what we know so far. In 2015, Garmin brought a “first-of-its-kind” radar system to cycling, launching the Varia rear view bike radar with the aim of alerting cyclists of approaching vehicles. While many people are sceptical about whether they need a radar, those of us at road.cc who’ve tested one have usually been genuinely impressed.
