What is Peloton Mode on the Varia RTL515, and RCT715?

Compatible Varia radars taillights have a Peloton light mode. In Peloton mode, the taillight switches to a lower light intensity to be easier on the eyes of riders behind you in a peloton (group ride). If a vehicle or rider approaches quickly from behind, the radar will pick it up and the light flashes softly.

Step 2: Enable Peloton Mode From the Connected Edge

Peloton mode is enabled from touchscreen Edge devices differently than on button controlled Edge devices. Touchscreen Edge devices allow easy access to a widget menu during a ride where you can adjust the light mode. Button controlled Edge devices require an extra step to access this light control. A Light Network must be formed between your Edge and Varia before you begin this step. For instructions on forming a Light Network see: null or Control Your Varia RCT715 With an Edge Cycling Computer depending on which Varia radar you have.

Touchscreen Edges

Newer touchscreen Edge devices have a dedicated Light Mode widget that is available when a light network is formed. This allows you to easily change the Light Mode to Peloton during a ride.

To access the widget: 

  1. Swipe down from the top of the screen to access the Widget Menu.
