Wahoo today add support for the ANT+ RADAR profile – Meaning the much requested and long awaited support for the Garmin Varia Radar is here! The RADAR device is a rear bike light and also a car detecting radar device. Yep, it’ll detect and alert you of approaching traffic 140m/153 yards away – and indicate how fast they’re coming at you. That’s pretty neat, and not your typical bike light! This video takes you through the RADAR support for the Wahoo ELEMNT, BOLT, and ROAM Cycling GPS units.

What happens if you already have Left LEDs configured for heartrate (or power), and then choose the Left LEDs option for radar? Is radar on Left LEDs mutually exclusive with heartrate or power, or does radar interrupt whenever a car approaches (like top row of LEDs get interrupted on Bolt)?
That’s an interesting question! I’m collating all these questions for a follow up in a few weeks. (I don’t know sorry)
