Must purchase if you ride with traffic

I didn't need this, at least I didn't think I did. I was skeptical but I have found this radar to be a great addition to my bike and rides. It alerts you to traffic coming up on you as well as the number of vehicles and relative distances. Four of my riding partners have purchased and we all wonder what took us so long.

Sleek, functional, essential for riding

I Upgraded from the RTL 500. Very happy with this light. High visibility. The vertical profile does forced me to use a less bulky seat bag in order for the radar to clear the rear wheel, and not block the visibility of the lights to approaching cars.

Very easy to use. Feel safer especially on back roads and areas where it is hard to hear cars coming .

It quickly hooks up with my Garmin . I have problems turning my neck so it's a blessing not having a struggle to do so . My friends I ride with like the fact that it starts blinking which lets them know a car is coming .

My only regret is not buying this sooner, really a great product and can detect cars that are not visible with my helmet mirror in foggy conditions.

What a wonderful way to watch your back!

I do a lot of back road riding and this allows me to see cars or bikes approaching from behind. I then become more cautious and stay to my right on narrow roads.

Increases awareness of cars on the road. Easy to connect to Garmin head unit. Love that the cadence of the blinking light will change as cars approach.
