This week at Big Bear Bikes we added to our ever-increasing stock of biking accessories and gadgets with the Garmin Varia RTL515 radar and the full Garmin range of bike computers.
The Garmin range is now in-store at our Pickering showroom, perfect for all cyclists wanting to track their fitness and performance while out riding. From recording speed, distance and time right through to hardcore tracking and analysis, we have it all.
The very latest and greatest bit of kit we’ve got our hands on at Big Bear Bikes is the Garmin Varia RTL515 radar. This rear-view radar pairs with one of the Garmin bike computers, or a compatible smartphone, to alert you of vehicles approaching from behind. Combining as a taillight, the Garmin Varia allows you to see and be seen.
Key Features
We really could not recommend this product enough; it’s something you have to experience using for yourself to really understand its true use and capabilities.
The Garmin Edge 130 Plus is the perfect entry-point to the world of performance tracking, with monitoring features that can track how far, fast, and high you’ve travelled, as well as your jump count, distance and hang time. Pretty nifty.
The GPS acts as a companion to all your adventures, keeping track of where you’re going with easy-to-follow navigation. This is all built into a crisp, clear and easy to read display that is great in sunlight or low-light conditions.
Key Features:
The second model in the Garmin lineup is the Edge 530. With this model you get all the great features of the 130 and more. Wi-Fi compatibility and a larger 2.6-inch colour display means using your Garmin is even easier. This model can receive texts, calls and social media alerts too.
Performance monitoring features provide better insights on your VO2 max, recovery, training load & focus, heat & altitude acclimation, nutrition, hydration and more! The Edge 530 also has MTB features such as Grit, which rates the difficulty of your ride, and Flow, which measures how smoothly you descend a trail, so you have a score to beat next time.
