Garmin Headlight and Rearview Radar
Garmin Headlight and Rearview Radar
We can’t believe we missed this one at Eurobike. Garmin have been so busy making new GPS units, it totally slipped through the net.
This is Garmin’s first step into the lighting market- and they’ve made it count. The headlight works in conjunction with a GPS, becoming brighter as you speed up, so you use max battery only when it matters. At its brightest, it’s 600 lumens, and can also be controlled via a handlebar mounted system.
The rear light ‘Radar’ has a built in sensor, and becomes brighter when a vehicle approaches. Not only that, the rider also gets a warning as large metal objects come closer. We’re not sure about how useful this feature actually is.
In addition, you can also attach lights to the seat stays – one left, and one right. These can be controlled via the handlebar, acting as an indicator. Clever stuff!
The front is £159.99, as is the rear, and the remote is £39.99.
