00:00It is no secret that we love cycling radars here at Bicycling Magazine.
00:05Industry standard for the last several years has been the Garmin Varia RTL515.
00:11New one just dropped today.
00:14This here is the Garmin Varia Rearview 820.
00:18A little bit of new naming convention here, but it has a whole lot of stuff going on to it.
00:23Big change, one thing has USB-C charging, which, you know, that's something we all want these days.
00:28Nice, easy connections.
00:30Next thing, increased brightness, more vehicle detection for a further range.
00:36Better battery life means less time that you got to throw the thing on charges between rides.
00:42Another big thing, it has enhanced vehicle detection, meaning it's going to be able to see not just which lane
00:49a approaching vehicle is in, but also its relative size.
00:52The last feature I'm super looking forward to is just the ability to track when a car is creeping up
00:59behind you, going to same speed as you.
01:02It's going to maintain the tracking on that vehicle until it passes you.
