What makes it different
Radar detection (the real “game-changer”)
- Uses an ANT+ radar system to detect vehicles approaching from behind
- Alerts you via a compatible bike computer (like Garmin or Wahoo)
- Detection range up to ~140 m, giving you early awareness
In practice: you get a visual + audible warning before you hear the car.
Smart visibility
- Light output up to 300 lumens
- Visible from up to ~2400 m in ideal conditions
-
Auto-dimming / brightness changes when a vehicle gets closer (~70 m trigger)
This makes you more noticeable when it matters most, instead of just constantly blasting light.
Wide-angle safety
-
270° visibility so you’re seen from the sides too
- Radar has about a 35° detection cone, which helps even on slight bends
Battery & usability
- Up to 100 hours runtime (likely in lower-power modes)
-
USB-C charging with a large 3350 mAh battery
- Mounts easily and integrates with most major bike computers
What it’s actually like to use
When paired with a bike computer:
- Cars show up as dots or bars approaching from behind
- The system often changes color or beeps as vehicles get closer
- Multiple vehicles can be tracked at once
It becomes almost like having a rear-view mirror you don’t need to look at constantly.
Who this is great for
- Road cyclists riding on open roads with traffic
- Solo riders who don’t always have someone watching behind
- Early morning / late afternoon riders with mixed light conditions
Where to be realistic
- It doesn’t replace checking over your shoulder
- Performance can vary on tight, winding roads
- You need a compatible head unit or phone app to get full benefit
Bottom line
This kind of light isn’t just about being seen—it’s about situational awareness. Once you get used to riding with radar alerts, going back to a normal rear light can feel like riding half-blind.
