Reviews over the

Bontrager Flare RT

Very good product for optimum safety. Distance vision is a strong point. ANT + link is great. Good value for money.

Pros & Cons

Good light very compact and well finished. Connected without problem to the Garmin and can be controlled from it. The light promises to see you further than necessary (2 kilometers). The battery well and if it gets dirty easily washable. However, it has some drawbacks. The load is by microUSB, something old and. It only comes with a hitch of the brand, if it breaks or you lose it badly, it does not bring the classic easily replaceable rubber bands. On the other hand, if you plan to attach it to a rack, saddle or any other place than the seatpost, I doubt it will fit well. The provided attachment is by and for the seatpost.

Pros & Cons

Easy to operate and synchronize with GPS high visibility

Pros & Cons

Manageable from my Garmin 1000 via the Bontrager app. Easy to use and install. Lacks a little lighting power in daylight for my taste.

Pros & Cons

Unbeatable quality and price. Perfect finish quality. The adapter for the seatpost is a bit tight for seatposts larger than 30.9.

Pros & Cons

Bright rechargeable taillight

Pros & Cons

It works perfectly but I cannot tell when it is in ambient light mode.

Pros & Cons

POWERFUL LIGHT and very small size. Great visibility on the road.

Pros & Cons

A good rear flashlight very comfortable to use with the garmin.

Pros & Cons

Find it important to be seen by motorists, even during the day, which succeeds with this light! Battery life is gone after a year of daily use! If you charge a Garmin computer it makes contact itself and the light is flashing all over and is not charged in the morning, small flaw but can be set via the app. Had the previous model also and this one was good too, button is broken after 2 years though.

Pros & Cons

It has a good light, it lasts a lot, before I could put it in fixed mode to be seen during the day, now I can't, I don't know why, it stays on flashing but in low light.

Pros & Cons

I can be seen from a distance thanks to this flare rt. I would have appreciated a more aesthetic attachment to the saddle rail than the rubber attached to the tube.

Pros & Cons

Very bright, small and light tail light. I like it very much and some colleagues have already repurchased it for me. Unfortunately, the battery charge level is displayed incorrectly when pairing with Garmin or the message battery level low comes too early as a result. Also the matching front light ION 200 is top.

Pros & Cons

Even though the flashing function is not approved in Germany, it has an effect. Cars keep a much greater distance and are more likely to wait to overtake until there is more space.

Pros & Cons

Luminosity is - as expected - super. Adjustment options / configuration exceed my expectations. Helmet compatibility to the Bontrager helmet was the reason for purchase. However, is fixed only with magnet = risk of loss is high

Pros & Cons

Good tail light, but after 3 month: the electronic failed! But with Mantel.com: no problem and a perfect exchange!

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

It took quite a bit of effort to pair the Flare with my Garmin Edge 830 . And once paired it doesn't actually work fine. Once you start a ride it always forces light even during the day and this is very irritating for people riding behind you because it flashes very brightly. And it's very difficult to turn it off right then. And recently during a ride in the dark I get the message on my Garmin: battery low. Right after this notification, a motorcycle cop drove next to me and fined me because the taillight didn't work! So this does not work well either. I now disconnected the light from my Garmin and it does exactly what you want it to do: give good bright light and blink or steady light when you want. What is really good is that this lamp burns very brightly!

Pros & Cons

I have the light on my Bontrager helmet.it can be switched in different lighting levels. The control via the Garmin app I have not yet tried. The price is not exactly cheap. As helmet lighting, the light is sufficient.you should use it but only use as additional lighting.

Pros & Cons

Top connectivity with Garmin, works very well, very compact, very good brightness and can be seen from a distance for safety, a plus.
