Great in the country but very expensive
This is very expensive but there are no real options so, having read the reviews, I bit the bullet.
Sure enough, in a rural area with light traffic it's great and I would buy it again.
What's good:
- it's extremely accurate - gets every car, no false alarms
- it integrates very intuitively into the head unit. On my Wahoo it uses a thin column to show approaching cars and the LEDs as an alert. The first car in a while beeps and flashes to get your attention while subsequent cars just keep the lights on
- fine in group riding; you can't trust it to catch the cars with someone right behind you but it's not constantly sounding off due to the other cyclists
- it's well designed and well made. Solid construction, easy pairing, single button with intuitive function.
What's not good
- the price. It feels (almost) literally extortionate to charge this much for a safety device without competition. Of course, I don't know how much the BoM costs but I strongly suspect there is a very large markup here. I hope the free market will redress the balance!
