Настройка и установка
Follow these steps to properly install your LICHIFIT Bicycle Saddle Bow Mount.
1. Pre-Installation Check: Saddle Bow Measurement
Before installation, measure the center distance of the two mounting points on your bicycle's saddle bow. The mount requires a center distance of 53-58 мм for proper fitment.
2. Assembling the Mount Components
The mount consists of three main parts: the saddle bow clip, the connector, and the radar taillight holder. Use the provided screws and hex wrench to assemble them.
Figure 2: Individual components of the mount: saddle bow clip, connector, and radar taillight holder.
The saddle bow clip is made of high-quality A380 aluminum alloy for durability. The connector part features gears that allow for stable and adjustable angle positioning of the radar taillight.
3. Attaching the Mount to the Saddle Bow
Position the assembled saddle bow clip onto the rails of your bicycle saddle. Ensure it is centered and aligned correctly. Tighten the screws firmly using the hex wrench to secure the mount to the saddle. This design provides a firm hold, preventing loss of the radar due to unstable fixing.

4. Attaching the Garmin Varia RCT716 / RCT715
Slide your Garmin Varia RCT716 or RCT715 rearview radar taillight onto the radar taillight holder until it clicks securely into place. The mount is specifically designed to accommodate the larger size and weight of these Varia models, ensuring a perfect and firm fit.

5. Installing the Safety Rope
Thread the safety rope through the designated loop on the mount and around a secure part of your bicycle frame or saddle rails. This provides double security for your rearview radar taillight, preventing loss in case of accidental detachment or impact.

Operating and Usage Benefits
The LICHIFIT saddle bow mount optimizes the performance of your Garmin Varia device.
- Enhanced Radar Detection: By mounting the radar under the bicycle saddle, it is positioned higher than on the seat post. This elevated position allows the radar to more sensibly detect approaching vehicles, providing earlier and more reliable visual and audible alerts.
- Регулировка угла: The design incorporates gears on the connection points, allowing you to freely adjust the angle of the radar taillight as needed. Once adjusted and tightened, the mount remains stable even on rough roads.
