Daytime Running Lights to stay bright on every ride

Voted Best by Velo 

Three of Trek’s daytime running lights just topped Velo magazine’s Buyer’s Guide: Best bike lights. See which models stood out — and why the experts say they outshined the rest.

If you only do one thing, do this

Research shows that riding with a flashing, daylight-visible rear bike light is the single most effective way a cyclist can increase their likelihood of standing out to drivers. Trek Daytime Running Lights are designed with a specific flash, focus, and range to make them more visible during daylight hours.

What makes a Daytime Running Light?

Not all lights are created equal. Brightness is important, but it takes more than a lot of lumens to make an effective Daytime Running Light. A true DRL is designed with specific focus, flash, and range to be seen from a meaningful distance during daylight hours. Without these three things, you just have a light.
