Bontrager has updated its daytime running light selection with a smaller, more powerful set that has a longer battery life and added functionality. The updated Flare RT is 36% smaller and 30% more powerful. The new Ion 200 RT packs the same technology into a 200 Lumen front bike light.
Both lights are USB rechargeable, include easy-to-mount brackets, and feature a distinctive flash setting that is visible from up to 2 km away. ANT+ tech is included to control the lights with a Garmin or other devices.

The research project with Clemson University showed that the best thing a rider can do to be more visible on the road is to ride with a flashing light. Studies have shown a 270% increase in driver recognition of a cyclist with a flashing rear light compared to without. An additional study showed a 33% decrease in accidents for cyclists equipped with daytime running lights.
