Garmin Varia: Safety or Aerodynamics? At Pedra, you don't have to choose.

The Garmin Varia radar is probably the best invention for cyclist safety in the last decade. However, its original mount leaves much to be desired: rubber grips that wear out, a clunky aesthetic, and a profile that completely clashes with the lines of your aero seatpost.

At Pedra.bike , we set ourselves a challenge: to turn a safety accessory into a marginal performance improvement .

Total integration: The end of the visual "burden".

We don't design universal mounts. The Pedra mount is designed specifically for each seatpost model . Through 3D scanning, we've achieved a Varia mount that blends seamlessly with the bike, becoming much more integrated and closer to the frame.

The result? A clean aesthetic where the Varia stops being a patch and becomes part of the design of your lightweight and aero bike.

Actual gains: Save up to 2W of power

We know that every detail matters ( tota pedra fa paret ). Although the final aerodynamic improvements are still being defined, our technical estimates point to an improvement of approximately 2% in the overall wind resistance.

Translated into performance figures, this represents a saving of approximately 2 watts compared to the original mount. If you've spent a fortune on an aerodynamic frame and deep-section wheels, don't let a generic plastic mount hold you back.

Invisible security: Hidden integration for AirTag

At Pedra, we take us a step further in terms of usability. We've taken advantage of the internal volume of the design to include a completely hidden compartment for Apple AirTag .

This way, you add an extra layer of anti-theft security without anyone knowing it's there. It's the perfect example of our philosophy: solving small or overlooked problems with solutions that no one else has.

Now available in our store: Garmin Varia Aerodynamic Mount

Built to last

Like the rest of our parts, this stand is manufactured entirely in Spain using technical 3D printing , always seeking ease of use and extreme durability against vibrations.

Do you have a specific seatpost and can't find a mount? If it's not in our catalog, write to us. If you suggest a design, we'll create one for you.

See you next Friday with a new "stone" for our wall!
