If you're Christmas shopping for the cyclist in your life, what's a better way to say you love them than with the gift of riding safety this festive period?
The Garmin Varia RCT715 is not only one of the best bike lights on the market, but it also comes loaded with smart tech, including a built-in rearward camera and a very clever radar function.
In our Garmin Varia RCT715 review back in 2022, we awarded the RCT715 with a 3.5 out of 5-star review. Tester Josh Ross highlighted the low-quality video and the slightly flawed incident detection system as reasons for the low score on what was then newly launched Garmin tech.
Garmin has since addressed these issues, and the latest version, for me, has more than alleviated these early teething flaws. The Garmin records 1080p at 30 fps camera capturing sharp and clear video, and records as soon as it detects movement, meaning nothing is missed, even if that's just your riding buddy giving you a wave.
Another great feature is the safety of having a built-in camera with various settings, including always-on and radar-activated. It has you covered for recording close pass incidents or worse, and it can also detect an incident.
Our Christmas Gift Guide has plenty of suggestions and is worth a look. If you're looking for a more stocking-filling gift, there are plenty to consider. If you're after a cheaper light option, then the Magicshine SEEMEE 300 can't go without a mention. It's one of our favorite bike lights and is currently reduced to $47.99 on Amazon.
Although these deals are US-based, below you'll also find the best Garmin deals specific to your location.
