The ultimate in autumn and winter for every cyclist
The best rear light I know, visible from afar for every driver. The weak point is the fact that the charging connection is still a micro USB. This calls its durability into question in the long term.

Perfect rear light the previous 3 years and 33000 km used then battery ran out
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Visible at 1km distance according to motorists
Top product. The first drive, a motorist immediately said "nice light, I could see you from 1km away, nice man!". Cars also really overtake you with more space between them. I really feel a lot safer, even during the day.
Pros & Cons

It is a small investment in road safety
It is a very small light with a huge aura and a traffic light that is always on red for traffic coming from behind

Clear buy recommendation!
So you won't be overlooked on the road even during the day

Spectacular
Spectacular light, looks great and the battery lasts a long time. The only bad thing is that the rubber to hold it to the seatpost does not reach the aero seatpost.

The safest lighting on the market, thanks to its intensity.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Perfectly matches my expectations.
I use this device on the road when I join my mountain bike area. Really efficient, a friend who was following me was surprised by the lighting power. Certainly fragile in the event of a fall, but in this situation, it's not just him. I'd recommend it. Remember, if you're mounting it on a mountain bike with a telescopic saddle, to take the option of mounting it on the saddle.

Quality mark
Light with very good illumination so you can be seen in the distance. Good battery life and syncs to the Garmin very fast.
Pros & Cons

Don't go riding without one of these.
Known light and safe bet. Great autonomy, small size and powerful light. Different patterns of light and flash. The possibility of seeing the connection with Garmin and its control is precise and reliable. Undoubtedly the best light on the market and of course, Mantel had it at a knockdown price and with the spectacular service they offer.

A large rear light to make you visible
I have been using these Flare lights for many years and I am very satisfied. My road cycling is safer because I know I can be seen.

Drive it now though only about 400 km but it is a very bright rear light and super to use with my Garmin.

Small but effective.
The device has excellent battery life and is very easy to use. It can be paired with the Garmin app, so that it switches on automatically when you start an activity.

It is the 4th one I buy, for me or to give as a gift. Small, light and with good autonomy. It is one of the few lights that looks good during the day in very bright days.

Recomendable 100%
Encantado. Tenía otra igual pero con la lluvia ha dejado de funcionar. No parece muy estanca, pero da seguridad de que te ven por detrás.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
idispensable
The power of the bontrager even in daylight induces a reflex in most motorists that increases their alertness and often causes them to slow down. Exactly the same as when they see a blue flashing light.... The taillight is an essential safety device! is now as essential as a helmet. is it expensive? depends on how much you are willing to spend on your safety.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Very good but has its price
There are no negative points for me have bought the light as a warning light for my Bonträger helmet. Fits exactly on the holder on the helmet. Am satisfied I can only recommend

THE BEST LIGHT
Truly reliable light to increase the safety of cyclists on the road. It is worth the investment for its quality and durability. The only thing I would improve is its anchorage to the seatpost, it should incorporate anchors for the saddle. Totally recommended.

100% worth it
100% compliant. Excellent visibility and easy management of the device at all times.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
We all know it: a bit expensive, but great.
The light, I think we all know it: magnificent. The fact that it is controlled from the Garmin gives it that point of "postureo" that perhaps serves so that we do not forget it in the exits. All are "Pros" except the price and usb charging. The problem with these devices may come from the sealing. The plastic cap that covers the usb, is the least bad of the possible solutions ... but perhaps you could think of a charger without electrical contact (Qi) or with sealed contacts (such as potentiometers and clocks). As long as this is not the case, enjoy it and take care of it.

You won't be disappointed... you'll only be upset if you lose it.
I bought it despite having others because of what I had read about it and tired of the fact that after three hours the powerful flash of the others was lost to save battery life. It is the best I know without a doubt.

Top stuff!
First saw this set on a Trek at a bike rental in the Ardennes. At the time I thought they were too expensive. But finally bought the lighting set at home. Top material! I use these both as day lights and when it starts to get really dark. The best compliment was that a car slowly drove past me to ask what kind of lights these were. He himself was also an avid road cyclist and he saw me riding at such a great distance that he was immediately sold! Perhaps the price is a small hurdle, but in the end every euro is worth it.

An investment that really brings more attention in traffic
Since I drive with the "flashing mode" drivers keep the lateral distance of 1.50 meters much more often, or overtake more safely.

Super price-performance ratio! A musthave for every cyclist!
The product has a super price-performance ratio and I can only recommend. The assembly is very easy. The battery life is very long. The light can be adjusted in different levels and modules. The attached manual is very easy to understand. Acquaintances from the circle of friends have also already bought the taillight and are very satisfied.
Pros & Cons

Very bright and small
Makes decent bright and also holds a day trip through. I hope he lasts longer than the predecessor, the wetness protection should have been improved.

Excellent product. Ensures safety
I was going to bike the marmotte but it has been postponed due to corona. The house was already booked so I'm training in the French Alps. What. One. Party. But there are tunnels here and they really have no lights. You really are an ox if you go into those tunnels without lights, because the chance of an accident is really high. With these lights, no more trouble. One thing: such a radar is probably even better. But this light does what it's supposed to do. And it is rechargeable. So just buy it .
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Small and compact with a lot of power, from experience I can recommend this taillight to everyone. ✨
Am much with the MTB and road bike on the road day and night, with the brightest setting is noticed aufjedenfall, is very bright and you feel safer in traffic. The lighter setting is enough for the day and the bright setting I take at night Can I aufjedenfall recommend.

Great, bright and small light for road cyclists! With it no car overlooks you more.
Use it now on all road bike tours to forewarn cars.

Best and safest bicycle taillight I have ever experienced
Excellent service from Mantel, both for order and delivery. The light is quite small and inconspicuous but where a power literally radiates from that little thing. With the flashing function during the day you are visible from hundreds of meters away and even at night no one will be able to say they didn't see you. In terms of comfort and safety a big 10!

Great tail light if you want to drive safely
Bontrager has done a good job. The light is quick and easy to attach and easy to configure. The only "quirk" is for me that the band is a bit long and comes from time to time when kicking my thigh. I would buy the light again!
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
The Bontrager Flare RT is a great light for those who want to be very well lit.
I am very satisfied. The light meets my expectations. I was only a little confused when I started cycling my Garmin Forerunner not only connected to the cadence sensor (and vibrated), but again and a lamp icon appeared. Then I had only noticed that I can operate the light from the watch (which is purely practical erbietet; man kammt under sleeve and Hanschuh eh not ran). I also wondered in the office that something always flashes red. Well, that was the automatic mode of the light. How to turn it off, I had to read up. Now everything is set up the way it suits my needs. I have no open wishes!

Moin, thank you first of all for the fast delivery.I have already had many taillights on my bike, but never have I been so perceived in urban traffic as with this.

Fits great, is easy to use, and shines great.
Light fits perfectly under the saddle. The operation is easy to turn on and off via the Garmin. The burn time is also top. Luminosity / visibility is also great in daylight. A good investment in safety.

Perfect for paths without street lighting. One is blessed far away.
Would recommend the light for all cyclists who travel a lot in the dark and want to feel safe when approaching a car in the rear area.

With this lamp you will be super visible !
After wearing out several cheap taillights that were far below the price level of this one, I thought I would go for a more expensive bulb. At first, I wondered why this bulb is so much more expensive than 20-30 euro lights, for example. After 1 week of use, I can say that the rear light has already paid for itself. What a light! I turned on the light sensor, so it uses 'day flash' during the day and switches to 'night flash' when dusk sets in. Even the night flash is very visible as it is constantly on low and the flashes are slightly brighter. All in all, this lamp is worth its price. In case you doubt whether you think 50 euros is too much for a rear light, I can tell you that this is really a great little device that is worth its money.

Almost perfect
This taillight is very good. Small, light but highly visible. It's clear that the studies carried out by Bontrager to select the right wavelength and flash sequence were well done: motorists have moved further away from me since I've had this accessory. Autonomy is very good: as a cyclist, I only use the light for about 1 hour a day, and in these conditions I can go 2 weeks without recharging. The luminosity sensor is very practical: no need to stop and change the lighting sequence when the sun comes up or goes down. My only complaint is that the mounting system is only designed for a seat tube. As I have a saddle shock absorber, the light is positioned too low. It would have been a good idea to include an under-seat mount like Olight does, for example.

High-performance lamp, small in size but effective.
I bought this lamp for commuting and road cycling. In this period of fog, rain and early night. I can really feel the difference with the single lamps I had before! I wonder why I didn't buy them before!

Maybe the best rear light out there.
It s impressive how visible this rear light is. With the flash pattern it also creates good awareness towards cars. Fully recommending this one.

thoughtful, small luminous rear light with prima remote control function via ANT + (Garmin etc.) - light duration unfortunately lower than manufacturer's specification - unclear whether the cold owed... Highly recommended!

Excellent Rear Light
The light definitely grabs the attention of cyclist's worst enemy, the car driver. It's very bright and the lightning patter does the rest. Once, I was overtaken by another cyclist, asking me what light I use, as he already saw me from 2 km away. I bought a second one, to keep me wife safe, too. Buy!

I hesitated for a long time before choosing this lamp to increase my visibility on the bike. I only use it during the day. The format is very compact. Power and autonomy are excellent. Once attached to the seat tube, it doesn't move.

To be seen
Super light that I highly recommend. I was able to test it out on a country road at night with fairly thick fog, and I was always well seen by cars, which left a good gap between me and them as I passed. Garmin GPS light control is effective, even without the dedicated app. The light attaches easily to a seatpost, and is difficult to attach elsewhere (bikepacking bag, for example).
