Both lights are lightweight and use simple rubber straps to attach to the bike without the need for tools. In this review we’ll be looking at the light set which has a retail price of $114.99 which is a slight discount over the individual prices of $59.99. The headlight has an impressive 200 lumen max output mode while the taillight has a 90 lumen output. To allow for daytime visibility both the headlight and taillight have a ‘day flash’ output mode that uses maximum lumen output. Particularly when paired with a compatible bike computer, the lights can function nearly automatically based on speed and light conditions. The Bontrager Ion RT and Flare RT are compact and high tech lights that pack a punch. Aside from the standard multiple output modes, the lights also boast Bluetooth connectivity to compatible Bontrager and Garmin computers allowing you to remotely control the lights. With diminutive sizes, the Ion RT headlight and Flare RT taillight offer daytime visibility with decent run-time and USB rechargeable batteries. The Bontrager Ion RT and Flare RT light set are a great example of this transformation. With advancements in technology and batteries, bike lights have transformed from being low powered and bulky to lightweight and compact units.
