I have an unusual D-shaped seat post tube but the L508 kinda fits it. It was the same ‘kinda fit’ with Garmin but the Garmin didn’t have the safety lanyard so I had to pay for a specialist mount to avoid accidental loss. With the Magene I was just happy to clip it on. With the addition of a new hybrid version the Renault Megane Sport Tourer is equipped to compete with similar electrified estates like the Kia Ceed Sportswagon and Toyota Corolla Touring Sports Your bike computer further interrogates the speed and position information to audibly alert you to newly detected cars, cars that are no longer detected and dangerously fast approaching cars.

The Magene and Garmin specs compare favourably. Simply put, if you pay a bit more for the Garmin you get a slightly better product. Both are perfectly fine in terms of the core features of brightness, safety and battery life. Whilst the Garmin does perform better in some circumstances with a brighter light and longer battery life, it’s the Magene that gives you a few nice extras namely; a more responsive braking mode, a customisable mode and a USB-C charge port. I’ve pointed out the nuances of how the Magene differs from the older Garmin RTL515 but for all intents and purposes, they are very similar. Maybe the Garmin edges it as the light is brighter and there are more modes with a noticeable smart flash – but you’re paying a big premium for that.Magene L508 also does well (no false negatives) and has a few benefits over Varia (light modes customizability). But it gives false positives more often than Varia (several per ride). Kingston, Lewis (10 December 2015). "2016 Renault Mégane GT review". Autocar . Retrieved 12 April 2016. The L508 uses radar to detect the relative speed and positions of several vehicles approaching from your rear. Tópico Renault - O Diamante!". FÓRUM MOTORGUIA ONLINE (in Portuguese). 8 February 2018 . Retrieved 17 August 2021. The fourth generation Mégane is larger and lower than its predecessor. The suspension is made of MacPherson struts on the front and a torsion beam on the rear. Brakes are discs on both axles. The driver can select between five driving modes that change the car set up.

Unlike its predecessor, the Mégane II was not licensed by Yanase Co., Ltd. for the Japanese market, as Renault had acquired a stake in Nissan when the Mégane I was still in production. Instead, the Mégane II was licensed by Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. and sold exclusively through Nissan Red Stage Store locations. In terms of engines, unless you need the longer range from a tank of fuel that comes with a diesel we’d lean towards petrol power. The 1.2-litre TCe is tempting here, but in reality the vast majority of Meganes are fitted with the 1.6-litre VVT unit, making it the logical choice.Initially, you will probably not trust it as it sounds too good to be true. However, once you start to notice that it really does detect some cars WAY behind you WAY sooner than you hear them then your trust will grow. Then you might ride in a noisy urban environment and just not hear cars that the L508 detects and conversely those peskily quiet electric cars will no longer sneak up on you unannounced. You can’t hear them but Magene can see them. Making its public debut on May 24, 2019, at the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix, [54] the Mégane RS Trophy-R is a limited edition based on the regular Trophy. Apart from that, what you see on your bike computer is essentially the same as if you owned the Garmin radar light.
