Je l'ai installé sur mon vélo de route et après une 1ère sortie j'ai pu constater sa réelle utilité. En effet sa portée nous informe bien avant l'arrivée d'un ou plusieurs vehicules ce qui me permet d'être plus vigilant sur les routes mal entretenues.

Se sincroniza bien con Garmin edge 1040, pero el radar en ocasiones se desconecta y tiene el problema que detecta una bici como si fuera un automóvil o simplemente aparece el indicador de vehículo en el radar en una carretera solitaria, es decir, sin vehículo.

Good solid construction. Multiple light settings allowing you to extend the battery life for long trips. The selling point for me was the vehicle detection and warning through the app, ( or certain cycle computers). I have it fitted to a mobility scooter to give me more warning and increase my visibility to others. Battery lasts for hours, especially in flashing mode.Easy to fit and comes complete with moulded rubber grips for round or aero seat posts. Clips secure into the fitting, lock by twisting. Quick and easy to remove and take with you.The detection is over 50m giving me time to get close in to the kerb and give the idiots in cars maximum room and no excuse for passing too close.Overall the increased safety makes it good value.

Purchased the Gardia R300L Cycling Radar last week. Got out to try it today with a ride on a mixture of quiet rural roads and some busier roads. It worked way better than I expected. After quickly syncing it with my Garmin Edge 1040 I was off riding. Surprised me a couple minutes later with a beep to tell me there was a car coming up behind me. I usually hear cars behind me, but the Gardia was picking them up before I could hear them. I never had a phantom car show up on radar. Couple times the unit thought there were two cars back at first but quickly resolved to one. I passed one car that was going slow in a neighborhood. Wondered if it might show up on radar, but it never did. Later they caught me and slowed up till we got over a curving uphill. Vehicle showed up on my Garmin until they were going my speed or slower. It then disappeared as it was not overtaking me. Popped up again when they accelerated to pass. Other than a lot of beeping on busier roads, I found the Gardia R300L to be a great addition to my ride. It'll be on my bike every time I ride roads from now on.

This has been one of my best purchases. It is very accurate and well depicted on my Bryton computer. It can see through a group of riders behind me and pick up on the approaching cars very well. So nice to have an accurate "Car Back" call out. The light works very well. Connecting to the bike computer is automatic and easy. Works like a champ.

Riding with Garmin Varia or Bryton Gardia is game changer due to awareness of surroundings that it provides. One feels safer on the road as you are aware of traffic behind you. I used both with Garmin Edge 830.Similar to Varia1. Integration with Garmin - automatically connects2. Visual of traffic approaching is very comparable to Varia3. Needs space underneath the post; you are mostly likely to lose space for saddle bag.Advantages of Bryton Gardia1. Affordability: This is 60% of the cost of a Varia which is not small change2. Mounting: The band and holder is more robust. It is easier to strech around the post3. Aesthetics: I think the product looks quite attractive with rectangular design and light is bigger.Disadvantages of Bryton Garia1. Car waiting behind you: When a car is behind you and it is waiting behind you, the car disappears from the radar as if there is no car behind you. It seems radar is unable to see cars if the distance is being maintained between you and the car.2. False Alert: At times, car gets stuck in your visual in Garmin. This happens about a couple of times on a 90 min ride. Even as car has passed you and there is nothing behind you it will show that there is a car. You know it is a false alert as the car is almost bouncing on the Garmin screen - going forward and going backward3. I have used it only for 4-5 rides and already had to charge is once. I have not experienced the 17 hr battery life that is on the description.4. In a 90 min ride, you will see message of 'Radar has been disconnected' on the Garmin. It gets connected within 5-15 seconds...but during that time you are on your own.5. You need to download the phone app primarily to update software. You can use it while riding as well but with Garmin bike computer, you do not need to use it.I have to test for a few more rides and have enjoyed the awareness that this brings while riding.Update Feb 4th, 2024Bryton's latest software update seems to have corrected the first two disadvantages. No more false alerts and if a car stalls you can still see it. Fantastic product.

Delivered quickly. Priced better (less than half) than comparable Garmin unit. I like the quarter turn mount and it feels solid. It paired with my Bryton S800 head unit seamlessly and it displays a little graph that is intuitive and helpful at a quick glance. The audible beeps are also helpful and easy to decipher. It has been very accurate with detecting vehicles in daylight, dusk and night rides. Never had it 'miss' a vehicle yet but have had a few 'false positive' detections that usually resolve quickly. Gives great confidence of approaching vehicles. It shows how many vehicles and their relative distance to me and each other. Closing speed and 'all clear' indicated by differing color of graph. Doesn't seem to false detect cyclists as vehicles. It did take me a few rides to notice that vehicles that are moving at the same speed as me won't necessarily be detected or continue to be tracked if they initially are detected, those may 'clear' with a green indication and beep. They do 're-acquire' if they begin to close distance though, which all makes sense but took me getting used to.Riding with buddies that have the very similar Garmin Varia, the functionality seems nearly identical. They also get occasional false positives though not necessarily at the same moments. The light is bright and has several modes. Battery life seems to be as advertised which is very good and MUCH better than the Garmin my buddies use. It does shorten the battery life of my head unit slightly when in use, maybe 10% or so. My S800 has an almost 25-hour batt life with my particular paired devices (HR monitor, speed/cadence, power meter) so I barely notice to be fair. If I unpair the radar, I assume this would not happen but have not tried that as I'm looking for more than just a taillight obviously.11/21/2024 update: after a firmware update the unit started constantly disconnected and reconnected from my head unit as I was riding. After a couple of days a firmware update for my head unit became available and that update resolved the issue. Not sure how that may have affected use with Garmin or Wahoo though, but something to be aware of.
