GARMIN Varia Radar 2 RTL510 Rear Light ($134.99 w/ Free Ship)
$134.99
This is part of Western Bikeworks' 4th of July Sale that showed up in my email, today. I know this came up on SD in the past as a FP Deal, but it came with the front light (which I don't care for) and the rear radar light. Oh, and if you find a better deal on this, which I doubt, but if you do -- WB offers a super easy online price match where you just add in the url of the qualifying competing website, and then type in the price. It will auto price match the product, subject to final review by WB (I've used it in the past, and it works great). Now if you can just find a damn bike to put it on... COVID.

It definitely lets you know when there are cars behind you and how fast they are approaching. The taillight blinks faster as cars come closer. Doesn't false very often. My riding partner can see if a car is coming by watching the changes in the light.
Good product. Yes, a mirror is cheaper but if you're descending fast the mirror shakes and you can't hear a car behind you at 25 mph.

These do work with non-Garmin head units, anything that is ANT+ compatible and supports the radar function will do it. The older 500 and newer 515 also work across brands since ANT+ is an industry standard and not proprietary.
Here's the DC Rainmaker review w/Wahoo head units:

Ok. If it works with Fenix 5X then I'll buy it. Will look it up, thanks to everyone

I really think the phone functionality of the new one is worth it. I bet it will be on sale by BF.

My friend, who's got a bad neck uses it every ride.
I thought it was going to be gimmicky but gave it a shot when the head/tail combo hit $170. I'm a total convert now. It's amazing to be able to "see" behind me, especially if needing to quickly avoid debris in front or if I need to briefly block a lane to avoid getting squeezed at an upcoming turn. Two thumbs way up.
This does NOT work with a smartphone. You can get the RVR315 that has the radar function without the smart taillight or the newer RTL515 that includes the taillight function. Both models will work with a smartphone.
I was riding just yesterday and had one older fellow in a car who was just too skittish to pass. There were like 4 cars behind him and the RTL kept passing my RDU and Fenix the "all clear". As much as I like the radar technology, it really shouldn't be your only (or even preferred) safety option if you spend significant time on the road.
