Reviews over the

Bontrager Ion 200 RT / Flare RT

The lighting set works perfectly, fast delivery, nothing to complain about;)

A very effective set of lights, small in size and easily configured with ANT+. Very pleased.

Bought on the recommendation of a friend and the set fulfils all expectations. Fits my racing bike perfectly. Small and bright, a bit more safety. You are more likely to be noticed by others.

The lights arrive charged, ready to go! The brightness is extreme and felt the drivers now keep more distance.

Pros & Cons

Really very visible . Notice that cars anticipate this

Pros & Cons

The predecessor already did a great job, so does this one. Does what it should do: be visible.

Pros & Cons

The goods arrived super packaged and with charged battery. Installation and adjustment everything without problems. Front light of course does not fit on an aero handlebar. For this there is a 20€ adapter from Bontrager for attachment to the GoPro mount which is sold out everywhere, or the same piece of plastic for 3.5€ including shipping at the Chinese. The visibility is as advertised enormous, when trying and adjusting please watch your eyes! The product is not approved for road use in Germany, as long as it is on the bike. Front and rear on the helmet, backpack, etc. it may of course be attached :)

Pros & Cons

Very effective product for daytime signalling, with good autonomy and excellent finish.

Pros & Cons

Perfect product, I wanted a lightweight, powerful and compact system with good range. Cars swerve well when overtaking.

Pros & Cons

they are the best lights you can have, they weigh little, the battery lasts a lot, they are aesthetic and they light phenomenally well.

It is the third one I have, one is damaged because it got water and another was lost because the fastening broke, but its lighting is unbeatable.

Pros & Cons

Good in bad weather conditions

Pros & Cons

Rear light is ideal for day and night driving Front light is ideal as a daytime running light, it can be driven even the last KM still in darkness

Pros & Cons

Fantastic set of lights, very small in size but with an unmatched light intensity. Very easy to connect to Garmin and very easy to use, only have one button. Possibility of placing in saddles or Garmin adapters. They can see you during the day from 2 km away.

Pros & Cons

I bought these lights for city trips and to be seen by vehicles. These lights are very powerful and compact. I would recommend

Pros & Cons

You stand out in traffic. Pairable with Garmin via Ant + which automatically turns the lights on when you start a ride. Lighting automatically adjusts to day, evening, night.

Pros & Cons

The product makes a super good light, however, the fixation for an aero handlebar and a thin carbon frame wheel might need improvement

Pros & Cons

Top! Connectivity with Garmin Edge to switch modes and battery level visibility!

Pros & Cons

In the end expensive but worth every euro. I would buy it again because it is simply state of the art.

Pros & Cons

Fits perfectly for Trek bike, but with the Uni bracket to any other bike

Pros & Cons

Lights definitely meet my expectations. They are compact and have an excellent light output. For this price, an excellent product.

Pros & Cons

The lights connect to my Garmin 830 and form a light network controlled by the Garmin. Automatically start when your activity begins.

Pros & Cons

The lamps are small light and hardly noticeable on the wheel. With the appropriate holders, can be positioned on a TREK wheel the rear lamp under the saddle and the front lamp directly on the handlebars, very well. In this case, appropriate holders must be purchased. In the scope of supply only "fastening tapes" are included. With a remote control, also not included, which can be integrated in the handlebar end, the lamps can be controlled very well. The coupling is thereby a somewhat complicated work. But if it works, this runs perfectly. The luminosity is sufficiently bright, although the font light does not illuminate completely in the completely dark forest. For this the lamps are simply too small. But I also do not think that they are built for it. For a TREK road bike simply recommended, nothing fits better.

Pros & Cons

Very good product. Meets my expectations, but the fastener deserves to be more flexible for the price.

Pros & Cons

unusable. After one daylight ride, you get a low battery message. Right after charging, battery shows at 75%. Occasionally disconnected.

Pros & Cons

After receiving it in record time, I connected them to my Garmin 830 in no time. There are several ways of configuration according to taste or needs. I opt for automatic method when activating the device, placing the two lights in daytime flashing mode for greater visibility.

Pros & Cons

great light duo, has me fully convinced

Pros & Cons

This lighting set is esp. with the pulsating mode the most effective measure to be noticed by motorists and that both during the day and at night. Even if it does not comply with the StVO, it secures your life! On Mallorca it only pulsates.

Pros & Cons

Lighting fits nicely under the saddle (bracket not included). Battery duration reasonable, empty after 2 hours. After charging the lights have to be reset to see the battery status correctly in the bontrager app on the garmin.

Pros & Cons

Good quality, exactly has expected.

Pros & Cons

Extremely good lighting both day and night. You feel visible and therefore more confident towards other road users. You quickly notice that cars move out of the way more than usual. Easy to install. Compatible with blendr technology on Trek bikes. Very good product, I recommend it.

Pros & Cons

Generally very satisfied. Extra wish: An additional bracket so that I could attach / sew on the rear light, for example, on the luggage carrier bag.

Pros & Cons

Long autonomy

Pros & Cons

Quick to install and visible from a distance during the day.

Pros & Cons

A good, easy-to-use product that increases visibility on the road.

Pros & Cons

Handy little light bulbs that are easy to mount.

Pros & Cons

Visible, even in broad daylight, from a distance. Excellent autonomy, never caught out. Unlike other lights, the angled rear attachment allows the rear light to be perfectly horizontal (and centered). The only drawback is that the elastic strap is rather fragile, and if you keep putting it on/off, it may eventually break.... The price is still quite high, but I don't regret it.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

The lamps are really great because they are very small and stylish. On my Trek road bike they do not stand out negatively at all, as some large lamps do. With Bontrager system compatible make the whole even more stylish. Due to the small size, the batteries are of course not oversized, so you can not wait weeks long battery life yet. But for a commuter bike or weekly trips that's enough, because you load the bike computer anyway from time to time, you load the lamps at the same time. Speaking of which, with some Garmin computers the compatibility with AMT plus fall is given, ie you can add the lamps directly in the Garmin under light and monitor the battery level the luminosity the light angle and the view mode and turn on and off. For me the perfect bike lights without an alternative!

Pros & Cons

Controlled by a Garmin computer. An indispensable safety instrument Fast, reliable delivery

Perfect delivery in record time, both lamps: front and rear are quality and conform to the description mentioned. Highly recommendable, plus Bluetooth connection with my Garmin Edge 1030, all good things. Lowest price on the net. Don't hesitate to order.

Pros & Cons

After years of riding a road bike without lights and not being seen by motorists a few times, opted to be more noticeable on the road bike. Impossible for other traffic not to see you. Top lighting delivered extremely fast by Mantel.

Pros & Cons

Mantel delivered the lights quickly and for a neat price compared to others. Directly connected to my bike computer and mounted on the bike. Works perfectly and well visible in the darker days.

Pros & Cons

Very satisfied with my purchase. Easy to install and configure. Compatibility with Garmin counters. Compact and lightweight. Fast delivery.

Pros & Cons

Give more than enough light, works smoothly with the gps but still a lot of money relative to the size of the light. P

Pros & Cons

Very bright lights with many different modes, makes riding at night safer

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Likes it fine, even the front light does reasonably well in pitch darkness, cars dim even from a great distance, 1 km or sometimes much further. Unfortunately this week my front lamp was stolen, I might order a new one but wait and see if the lamp will surface, rear lamp apparently didn't go fast enough, was fiddled with though.

double light duration or brightness as the little brothers from the 100ter series. For long-distance riders a real advantage, no more stress that before the end of the battery is empty :))

Nice compact products on the madone Battery discharges quickly in Bluetooth mode with Garmin edge

Pros & Cons

Good lighting. Powerful. Compact size. Highly recommend. Makes a change from cheap lights that fail in two months!

Duo of daytime running lights bought to replace my old bontrager Flare R. Smaller, more powerful and connected with my Garmin watch in Ant+: They light up as soon as I start my activity. I like the flashing sequence, which attracts drivers' attention and increases their vigilance. Good battery life. Brightness sensor can be deactivated. Simple and perfect for my use.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Good for showing that you exist. Works well on the road, but in the forest you need a stronger light.

Pros & Cons

Highly recommended, small, lightweight lighting kit. Quickly assembled and disassembled. For different weather / daylight situations suitable light modes. One is seen in any case.

Pros & Cons

Probably one of the best lights on the market, easy to assemble and disassemble.

Perfect product for every ride. Long battery life. Visible in day light and during night time. Improved visibility in every condition. Different functions to be either more visible or get a longer battery life.

Pros & Cons

Product corresponds to the description on the site. Flashes are visible from a long distance during the day.

Pros & Cons

Does what it promises. Lights are very visible even during the day and last a long time. You can also control them let your garmin bike gps and thatbus a plus.

Pros & Cons

I'm impressed by the build of these lights, their light (no pun intended) weight and running time, and the flash modes. I have used them for about 2 hrs so far on daylight flash mode, still on the first charge. Both lights networked with my Garmin Edge 1000 and Edge Explore computers without difficulty on different bikes and light modes can be controlled by the Garmins. They are automatically turned on/off with the Garmins being turned on/off, so no need to touch the lights and no power wasted either - another nice design touch on integrating with a Garmin. The mounts are simple and easy to attach to the bike being a hook and loop design. Easy access to usb charge ports underneath weather proof covers. One small criticism is the lamp is difficult to remove from its rubber mount as I swapped them to metal bag clips. BTW there are a myriad of mounts available separately. Overall good price for the set and delivery on time. Well done Mantel for keeping me up to date on the delivery and for choosing an excellent product to sell.

Pros & Cons

They look very good and are very bright, however I was hoping to be able to control the led flash pattern and on/off from an app on IPhone. The only way to control this is through a Garmin device.
