Trek’s City Lights update was announced last week. The updated features includes USB-C charging, new hoods, and longer battery life.

Trek’s City Lights Just Got a Serious Glow-Up
If you ride in the city, you know visibility is everything. Trek just dropped updated versions of their Ion 100 R and Flare R City bike lights—and they’re not just brighter, they’re smarter.
Longer Rides, Less Battery Anxiety
The new lights run 28% longer than their predecessors, which means fewer mid-ride power panics. Additionally, Trek has added fuel gauges, allowing you to check your charge before you roll out. No more guessing games.
Designed for Real-World Riding
Both models now feature improved hoods that reduce glare and enhance side visibility—especially handy at intersections where visibility from every angle is crucial.
USB-C Charging = Faster Top-Ups
Say goodbye to fiddly cables. The switch to USB-C means quicker, more convenient charging between commutes or coffee runs.
Daytime Running Lights That Actually Work
Trek’s research-backed flash pattern, focus, and range make these lights stand out even in broad daylight. It’s not just marketing—it’s a proven way to stay visible and safe.
Whether you’re a daily commuter or a weekend city explorer, these upgrades make Trek’s lights a no-brainer. They’re available now at Trek retailers and online for $84.99.
