ANT+ Powers New Bontrager Bike Light Products Designed to Keep Cyclists Safe
Cochrane, Alberta (PRWEB) April 14, 2015 -- ANT Wireless, proven innovator in ultra-low power (ULP) wireless technology, is proud to enable Bontrager’s latest line of ANT+ enabled Bike Light products. The Flare RT, Ion 700 RT and Transmitr Remote redefine cycling safety through wireless control of illumination while embarking on any daytime or evening ride. All three products are ANT+ compatible for convenient control of all bike lights from one spot on the handlebar.
Bontrager’s latest offering is an innovative new product that allows cyclists to dictate when and where they will ride their bike. The impressive illuminations and controllable turning signals showcase the importance of bike accessories in making cycling and safer activity and sport.
“The ANT+ Bike Light Device Profile is facilitating the launch of the first wireless light products in the market,” said James Fujimoto, Director – ANT Wireless. “Using a single wireless channel, a bike computer can control a large number of lights, along with other bike sensors, simultaneously -- a complexity that relies on the advanced features of the ANT Wireless protocol.”
Ion 700 RT
Bontrager’s Ion 700 RT headlight is wirelessly controllable though ANT+ and illuminates the road with 700 lumens via high-power CREE LED. The headlight features five illumination options: Irregular flash, 50 LM with flash, 250 LM, 450 LM and 700 LM.
The Ion 700 RT fully charges in just five hours through a sealed Micro USB port.

This lighting ensures ultimate safety by placing users at the forefront of the road, allowing them to be seen with balanced optics and 270 degree visibility.
The Flare RT offers users two day-time and night-time visibility modes, ensuring their safety needs are met throughout all times and shades of the day. It also features turn signal capabilities, notifying those behind of the users’ every move.
Additionally, the Flare RT transitions into battery save mode at 5 percent life to help ensure a safe ride home with depleted battery.
Transmitr Remote
The Transmitr Remote is an ANT+ enabled wireless remote control that can be paired with all Transmitr products.The remote can control up to seven lights at a time and attaches conveniently to any handle bar. Additional Transmitr feature highlights include real time battery life status of lights, on/off, and mode selection, all from the convenience of your own handlebar.
