The TRACE is a compact, high-performance rear bike light designed for all-day visibility. When off, it’s so small you’ll barely notice it on your seat post — ideal for riders seeking a small rear bike light that’s both discreet and powerful. When on, it features a 15-lumen daytime flash mode and a 5-lumen night-time setting to keep you visible in all conditions. A 300° clear-sided lens ensures maximum side visibility, while the tilted design aligns perfectly with any seat post angle. With a secure, quick-fit strap, the TRACE stays firmly in place, whatever kind of road or off-road cycling you do.
Compact. Bright. Essential.
