Trek Ion Pro RT / Flare RT Light Set
4/ 5
Adrien 3 November, 2021

Almost exclusively positive.

I've been using these lights for my Marlin 7 for 2 weeks now. Works with TREK's specific stem attachments (you need to buy the bases and sockets separately). Also contains standard attachments for all brands. Takes a while to recharge but if you don't use them at full power they last me 1 week without any problem. (See photo) has a daytime flash mode (lights off and strong light) and a night-time flash mode where the lights remain constantly on but with a flash with a variation in brightness (normal light then strong light) which allows you to see the night ahead in town while indicating your presence with a single flash. The front lamp is quite heavy (for a lamp) but given its power that seems normal to me. The system on the front lamp for being seen from the side is interesting in principle, but in practice I find it too weak to be really visible. Too bad An indicator light (green - red) lets you know the state of the battery; once in energy-saving mode (red light), there are 30 minutes of use left. I'm really pleased with it! It's a shame there's only one charging cable.

Pros
  • Autonomy
  • Easy to dismantle
  • Power and visibility
Cons
  • 1 single cable for recharging
  • Weight (front lamp)
