Reviews over the

Trek Ion Pro RT

I've been using this product for years, 4 or 5 days a week to go to work. Night and day.

This is my second Bontrager lamp, I was very satisfied with my first one but after 4 years it stopped working. I don't use it on the brightest setting, it gets very hot and the battery life is not great. The other settings are also bright enough. The mount that comes with it is OK but not great, I have a Trek bike and used the Blendr integration for better mounting, despite its price.

Pros & Cons

Good headlight, very strong in high position but still adequate in eco position. Charging is a bit slow ;

Pros & Cons

Makes day out of night

it's the best bike light for less than 150 euros according to the bikeradar website I highly recommend

A great removable rechargeable light, excellent brightness. Gets very hot on highest setting, I had to replace after 1 year of use as light failed. But I git the same model.

Pros & Cons

Really top

Good front lighting when I'm driving and it's dark (better visibility of road holes)

Pros & Cons

Excellent quality.

Pros & Cons

Good light and duration. Now I see where I'm going.

Pros & Cons

Positive: 1. I mainly bought it to use it as Ant+ light with my Garmin Edge. It connects automatically and is mostly reliable. I am thankful that the light mode isn't changed when the connection drops. 2. The low mode is bright enough for my daily commute to and from work in Austrian Winters through a forest road. I recharge it only once a week. Negative: 1. Flash modes aren't allowed in Austria and I wish Bonntrager disables them through software update through Garmin Edge. 2. It's my first single LED light and I seem to like dual LED lights more 3. It's not StVZO compatible which is stupid. Currently there is no Ant+ light in the market that is StVZO compatible.

Pros & Cons

Used on trails and singles, it's a great buy.

Pros & Cons

Spectacular night light. Bontrager quality. Takes a little while to load, but it's worth it.

Pros & Cons

After just over a year, the bulb suddenly does not come on at all :( Bit quick for such an expensive bulb

Pros & Cons

Lots of light and a sturdy lamp on a sturdy stand. Just a quick charge before leaving is not in the cards....

Pros & Cons

powerful lamp that lasts a long time, misses 2-fold programme low and high setting.

Pros & Cons

Top lamp Long battery life Many settings Super light Only downside is that it only fits around a round rod.

Pros & Cons

The way better than my old ion 800r which is good led too. Small size is big plus for me.

Pros & Cons

All in all, an improvement over what I had. For the 1.15h commute on the road bike in the dark, I needed a better lamp. I can see the road well, the battery lasts a long time, especially on the least bright setting, which is still better than the brightest setting on my previous light. However, I regularly get comments from fellow road users/against traffic that the light is annoying and very dazzling. The advantage is that cars slow down when I approach them, instead of racing through. Of course, I sometimes look into the very bright lights of cyclists myself and know how annoying this is. Not aware of a good bright lamp with long battery life that doesn't have this or has much less of it. Besides, it is quite heavy, and solid. The flashing modes shouldn't have been necessary as far as I'm concerned, it really doesn't benefit anyone.

Pros & Cons

I have the light "networked" via Garmin computer on my commuting bikes (daily use). The light is quite bright, the battery life is sufficient for my needs. Whether you need the light network? I find the battery life display in the bike computer and the automatic control useful. 8 points because - unlike the Garmin UT800 lamp - the brightness is not automatically adjusted to the speed because the GoPro-compatible (Blendr) mount is not included.

Pros & Cons

To start with something positive, the workmanship is good and so is the luminosity. However, the light is extremely dazzling for oncoming cars and pedestrians. Pedestrians sometimes have to hold their hands in front of their eyes...and I have already pointed the lamp extremely downwards.

With this headlight I cycle in autumn and hopefully soon in winter as well. The light output is really great: on the strongest setting, you have to be careful not to dazzle anyone rather than not seeing anything yourself. A clear indicator shows the remaining voltage.

Pros & Cons

Good light for forest and commuting. Easy to mount and take on/off. Long charging time.
