Description

Description

The Bontrager Ion Pro RT with the Flare RT2 offers you as a cyclist a combination of 'seeing and being seen'. With this set, you are assured of optimal safety on the road. The Ion Pro RT headlight (1300 lumens) has enough power to illuminate your every road or path properly. With the Flare RT rear light, you are visible up to a distance of 2 kilometres at the brightest position.

Both lights are equipped with ANT+. This allows you to easily connect the lights to your other Garmin and Bontrager devices with ANT+. So you can operate the lamps quickly and easily or check the battery status during your bike ride. Thanks to the useful mounting system you can easily attach the lights to your handlebar or helmet.

With the waterproof USB ports, you no longer have to worry about wet weather conditions. That's why the Bontrager Ion Pro RT / Flare RT2 is the ideal pair for your cycling trips.

At maximum power (1300 lumens) the headlight has a maximum burning time of 1.5 hours. For 800 lumens this is 3 hours, and for 400 lumens it is 6 hours.
At a constant burning time of 25 lumens, the battery of the rear light will last approximately 4-5 hours. At a capacity of 5 lumens, this is 13.5 hours. The flashing mode has a maximum output of 90 lumens. In this mode, the battery lasts approximately 6 hours. With the USB cable, the lighting is easy to charge.

Recommended for cyclists who go out in the dark, very good product

- Vincent 11 December 2023

Try it out for a 65 km outing, starting with full light, then strobe, as everything is done automatically when linked to my Garmin.

Top lighting set for graveling, commuting....

- Rosalie 6 December 2023

I bought the set as a Black Friday deal, the lighting set makes a very good impression, you are well seen but above all you can also see yourself very well on dark forest and meadow routes, even very far ahead. However, the push-on brackets could be better, whether they pass a long-term test remains to be seen.

Good until it bricked on a ride leaving me without a light in the dark

- Pedro 16 November 2023

The lights worked fine for 3 years, I was happy with them. Then while out on a ride at night I wanted to change the front lights mode and happened to double tap the power button while the light was on, same action usually used to turn it on, and it completely stopped working, just dead. It would not turn on again leaving me me in the dark without a front light. The Ion Pro RT is seemingly fully bricked, won't turn on or charge. I tried resetting it in various ways, holding the power button, nothing. I don't think I'll trust Bontrager lights again after this experience.

Pros & Cons

Metal build for front light
Nice while it works
Tooless install
Bricked by double tapping power button
Micro USB
Poor QA

Good lighting set, but front lamp goes flat quickly

- M.J. 6 November 2023

The lighting is of good and sturdy quality. You are highly visible to other road users, and the front light gives you excellent visibility on unlit roads and paths. Unfortunately, there is only one charging cable with the set and it is very short in length, also the lamps are not charged via USB-C, so a charging cable from a modern phone cannot be used with these lamps. I find the battery life of the front light underwhelming, does not last long even on lower settings. Unfortunately due to the battery life of the front light 4 stars instead of 5.

Pros & Cons

Front light ideal for unlit roads
Good visibility front and rear
Robust front light that can take a beating
Charging cable is very short
Front light empties quickly, even at lower settings
Front light takes a long time to charge
No USB-C connection on the charging cable
Only 1 charging cable in the package
