This kit requires a compatible ACE BUP mount base.

The BUP RVR315 SL mount arm positions the radar horizontally for clearance below the mount point.  There is no issue using the RVR315 Varia in this manner (Specialized bike racks with integrated Garmin radars do this).  This add-on kit is ideal for bike racks that have reduced clearance over the rear tire or saddle setups with large saddle bags.

This add-on mount arm kit uses the standard quarter-turn connector used by all models of Varia radars except the RCT715 (See Garmin RCT715 kit). This kit includes everything needed to attach your RVR310 to our supported mount bases and includes a safety tether.

    Features of the Garmin Varia RVR315 SL arm kit

    BUP quarter-turn insert comparison

    Our quarter-turn inserts are the same as the Garmin OEM quarter-turn inserts. These inserts are thicker and harder to flex but unfortunately much more expensive to manufacture. That is why virtually all 3rd party computer and Varia mounts on the market use  inexpensive inserts with two holes for flat head screws. They are thinner and more prone to failure.

    The 315 SL mount arm has integrated hooks to hold a strong rubber retention ring that prevents accidental release.  The integrated tether hook attaches the entire arm to the bike to help mitigate loss in the event of a crash. BUP mount arm pressure tab
    Safety tether with arm Because the Varia is mounted sideways, the center of gravity is well balanced and much less likely to pivot under loading.  The horizontal layout allows the arm to be attached to bike racks even when the accessory mount is tucked under the rack.

    All BUP mounts are manufactured and hand assembled in the USA

    BUP Shark Tooth (ST)

    What makes the Shark Tooth design different?

    • ST Mounts use toothed connections to prevent slipping.
    • Connections are very rugged and more than 3x thicker than GoPro type connections.
    • Very easy to assemble using the provided thread locking screws.
    • Eliminates the variations in GoPro like slot fitments for a more secure connection.

    |---- Space ----|

    • Our mounts move the device down and rearward to increase spacing.
    • Bup mount positioning creates more leg over clearance for easier mounts and dismounts.
    • Leaves more than enough room for most small/medium and even some large bags.
    • Optional extensions can provide even more space when needed!

    Safety is not an afterthought

    • Safety band prevents twist out release from impacts, aggressive riding, opportunistic theft, and accidents.
    • Safety bands will not interfere with, or mute, radar range or operation.
    • New elastic safety tethers are thin and exactly the same as the Garmin OEM computer tether.
    • Heavy duty safety tethers are provided with kits for heavier devices such as a GoPro or Garmin Varia RCT715.

    Shark Tooth Grip

    One huge benefit of the new Shark tooth design is preventing device rotation. Standard action camera connectors typically suffer from rotation under loading which requires overtightening the screw to overcome the rotation. Overtightening can eventually lead to damage or failure.

    ST mounts use just one thread locking screw for easy assembly. Just tighten normally and it is locked in place. Easy peasy.

    Have Your Cake And Eat It Too

    Radar and a GOOD camera? Yes please! Extra room for big saddle bags? Yes please! Pick one or the other? Nope! Bup horizontal mount arms provide a huge amount of space below the saddle AND the option to run two devices at once!

    Compatibility

    Besides being able to use all major brands of radars, our ST mount arms can be converted from one brand's radar to another. Switching between Garmin Varia and Magene require nothing more than unscrewing the insert and moving a few plugs. Conversion from Garmin or Magene to Bryton (or vice versa) is almost as easy with an extra insert (sold separately).

    Quality

    Our mounts bases and arms are 3D printed with state-of the-art bioplastic materials using the most technologically advanced machines in the world. Even small injection molded items, such as the quarter-turn inserts, are top-of-the-line and as good or better than the OEM part.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Our mounts are made from a new state-of-the-art material called bio-plastic that is derived from plants instead of petroleum. It is stronger than traditional plastic and able to withstand repeated impacts better. Some components are made from injection molded plastic or steel.

    We source all raw materials, manufacture the primary components, assemble, and package the products in the United States. Some accessory items or minor components are imported (noted in the product details).

    We currently ship within the U.S., most U.S. territories, and Canada. Please see the international shipping page for more details.
