Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN),
today announced the Varia UT800, a high-intensity cycling headlight
for urban and trail use. Helping to create a safer cycling
environment, the Varia UT800 not only projects a steady 800 lumens
for up to 1.5 hours, it also automatically adjusts its beam
intensity to changing light conditions, the cyclist’s speed and
ride profile1 to extend battery life.
“As leaders in cycling technology, we are excited to introduce
the Varia UT800 to our line of innovative Varia cycling awareness
products,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global
consumer sales. “With five different light modes, whether riding on
the streets or the trail, the Varia UT800 smart headlight shines
brighter for longer allowing cyclists to ride with greater
confidence.”
The Varia UT800 features five light modes – high, medium, low,
night flash and day flash. At full power, it is visible in daylight
from more than one mile away. Its low-profile, lightweight design
easily attaches to the handlebar with an out-front mount or to a
helmet with a friction mount2.
When paired with compatible Edge® cycling computers, the Varia
UT800 will automatically adjust its beam intensity based on speed
and changing light conditions, saving the highest intensity for
when it’s needed the most. With the simple touch of an Edge cycling
computer or dedicated remote, cyclists can also turn their lights
on or off, control brightness and more.
The Varia UT800 Urban Edition includes a universal out-front
mount. The Varia UT800 Trail Edition includes a helmet mount. Both
are available for $149.99.
