Varia RADAR is a proven safety tool for Cycling, so why would a motorcycle variant not be valuable... The doppler signature of rear moving vehicles means they don't have to be in direct line of sight, which is very helpful in minor roads. I was initially sceptical but wouldn't ride without RADAR now... The dynamic light patterns that adjust to other road users behaviour (relative speed and lateral separation) are a great feature able to change the behaviour.. Regional variants probably are required to overcome the countries that believe vulnerable road users safety is less important than bland visual uniformity (Germany, France).
As a German, I am embarrassed by the useless rules and regulations that are imposed without sense, but unfortunately a lot of people in this country like it that way 😵😵😵
The Varia RADAR is available with a control/indicator unit, or integrated to Edge cycle computers, and looking at the video, seems like the former, so independent of Zumo units. Let's hope Garmin will clarify..
Maybe the next Varia can by a bit like that. Seeing the positions of the vehicles behind you would be dope 🤟🏻
Maybe a bit more information in the next video?
Wauw..
Innovv finally gets some competition .

Open to reviewing this on my R1200GS if Garmin is interested. I have the Zumo XT2 and a Cardo headset.
