Review on πŸ”§ Corki Varia Mount for Garmin - Enhanced Visibility and Stability | Varia Rtl510 Radar Mount | Varia Rear Seatpost and Saddle Mount by Johnathan Sherman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Yes, it can be used with a (small) saddlebag.

Other reviewers have commented that the build and overall quality of this mount is excellent. They are. This is a solid product. Others have also found that this does not work with all saddles. I understand that too, but what's important is that the quarter turn mounting plate rotates up or down. If you can attach small brackets to the seat rails you can get the light to work. What you can't do is attach this mount to your saddle and then expect a backpack-sized seat to fit in there. The attached photo shows the mount with a Varia radar light attached to a Bontrager Nebula saddle and a small Bontrager Elite seat pack (fully loaded) mounted up front. This setup works well if you only use your bag for "emergency" items and don't need to access it often. This suits me well as the mount securely holds my $200 taillight.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • I won't say anything
