CYCPLUS L7 Radar Review // Another Budget Radar Misses the Mark
The reviewer provides a detailed critique of the CYCPLUS L7 Bicycle Radar Tail Light, highlighting its poor performance in radar functionality. They mention that the radar frequently drops detections, has false positives, and fails to maintain consistent detection ranges. The reviewer compares it unfavorably to the Garmin Varia RTL515, noting that the L7's beam width is narrower and its detection less reliable. Despite some correct detections, the overall performance is deemed unacceptable, with the reviewer expressing frustration over the product's quality and reliability.
