Product Details

Trek Flare RT Rear Bike Light

The Trek Flare RT Rear Bike Light is a compact, USB-rechargeable taillight designed to keep road riders, commuters, and gravel cyclists visible in daylight and darkness alike. The Trek Flare RT rear bike light helps you stay seen on your ride, with its distinctive flash, focus and range seen up to 2 km away in daylight. Built for riders who refuse to compromise on visibility, this light suits commuters navigating busy traffic as well as road and gravel riders logging long hours on exposed routes.

Who Is the Trek Flare RT Rear Bike Light Built For?

This rear light is ideal for commuters riding through urban traffic, road cyclists on exposed daylight routes, and gravel riders who want added peace of mind on remote roads. Whether you are clocking early morning miles or riding home after dark, the Trek Flare RT adapts to your environment and keeps drivers aware of your presence. It is equally suited to beginner commuters who want a simple set-and-forget light and experienced cyclists who want smart connectivity with their existing Garmin or ANT+ ecosystem.

Why the Trek Flare RT Rear Bike Light Stands Out on the Road

The Trek Flare RT Rear Bike Light uses carefully engineered focus, flash, and range to make sure drivers notice you long before they reach you. Flare RT’s flash pattern features a powerful 90 lumen max burst in its interruptive flash pattern to be better noticed by other road users, visible from over 2 km away. This interruptive pattern is more effective at catching a driver’s attention than a steady beam, which is why the Trek Flare RT has become a go-to choice for riders who prioritise being seen in daylight as much as after dark.

Comfort and convenience are built into every part of the design. The integrated light sensor automatically adjusts the brightness to the ambient conditions , so you are not left guessing which mode suits the time of day. Thanks to its battery safety mode, the Flare RT has an additional battery time of 30 minutes when it hits 5 percent battery capacity , giving you a safety buffer on longer rides. The light also connects to compatible devices, as it can connect with Garmin and Bontrager ANT+ devices for always on, battery status and control , letting you manage your lighting setup without reaching for the unit itself mid-ride.

Weather resistance is another reason the Trek Flare RT Rear Bike Light performs so well across South African conditions, from summer storms to misty winter mornings. The light features IPX7-rated waterproofing, letting you confidently ride through wet conditions. The Quick Connect bracket mounts securely to a seatpost, and the compact housing adds minimal weight to your setup while still delivering a strong daylight-visible flash. For riders building out a complete lighting system, you can browse the full range of lights and accessories at Enduroplanet to pair the Flare RT with a matching front light.

Battery life is tuned to match real riding patterns rather than lab conditions. Flash modes run 90LM for 6 hours, 45LM for 12 hours, and 5LM for 15 hours, while steady modes run 25LM for 4.5 hours and 5LM for 13.5 hours. This flexibility means commuters can leave it on a lower setting for an entire week of rides between charges, while riders wanting maximum visibility on a single long ride can switch to the brighter flash setting without worrying about running flat.

5 Reasons You’ll Want the Trek Flare RT Rear Bike Light

  • Daylight Visibility: The interruptive flash pattern is designed to be noticed from up to 2km away, even in bright sunlight.
  • Smart Connectivity: ANT+ and Bluetooth pairing with compatible Garmin devices lets you control the light and check battery status mid-ride.
  • Adaptive Brightness: The built-in light sensor automatically adjusts output to match your surroundings, saving battery and reducing guesswork.
  • All-Weather Reliability: An IPX7 waterproof rating means the light keeps working through rain, spray, and wet commutes.
  • Long-Lasting Charge: Multiple flash and steady modes give you the flexibility to balance brightness against runtime for any ride length.
