One of the best gadgets for my bike! Integration with Karoo (3) is really good and intuitive.

It’s great to ride knowing a vehicle is coming up to overtake rather than finding out when it flies past you often at speed without warning.

Basically love it! I'm a recent convert to cycling via triathlon and haven't ridden a bike for probably 40 years, the Varia paired with a head unit has been a game changer for me, I am reasonably confident riding on the road but at higher speeds or windy days affecting hearing being surprised by a car at your elbow at ~60k can be a bit of a shock. With the Varia I always know what's behind me, it picks up cars, motorcycles, and even faster cyclists closing on you, 3 months in there have been no false positives, no missed vehicles even on group rides, it appears able to see through the bunch and still pick up closing cars. I would have prefered usbc and longer battery life (apparently 7 hours is the max) but I just charge appropriately so these are minor gripes.
