What makes it special

The little details. The big difference.

01
See me now
Research shows that riding with a flashing, daylight-visible rear light is the single most effective measure a cyclist can take to increase their likelihood of standing out to drivers.
02
Daytime Running Lights
Bontrager and Trek daytime running lights are compact and powerful and feature an interruptive flash pattern that's daytime visible from up to 2km away.
03
240% more noticeable
When you use a flashing tail light during the day, studies show you’re up to 240% more noticeable than a rider using no lights at all.

Flash, focus, range
Not all lights are created equal. A true DRL is designed with specific focus, flash, and range to be seen from a meaningful distance during the day. Without these three things, you just have a light.

Lighter and brighter
The all-new Flare RT is compact and powerful. It’s 36% lighter than the original and features 40% more Lumens.
06
Ride longer with more battery life
Get a full 12 hours of runtime with all-day flash mode and feel secure in knowing there are 30 minutes of extra battery life built in for when you reach low power mode.

What reviewers are saying.

“Trek’s new and improved city lights will keep you visible day or night when biking urban roads.”
No matter the type of riding I’m doing, my bike always has DRLs [Daytime Running Lights] attached and on. I can attest that DRLs have saved me from being hit more times than I care to count. They help drivers see me coming and better judge my oncoming speed so they don’t pull out in front of me.
