Safer roads for everyone. Being visible protects cyclists and helps drivers respect other cyclists. Trek launches CarBack Radar: a light visible during the day that can be seen by motorists up to 2 kilometres away and a radar capable of detecting approaching vehicles from behind up to 240 meters away.
The radar
The first requirement to keep your attention on the road is to never take your eyes off itA big unknown for cyclists, however, is what comes from behind. And this is where the CarBack Radar comes into play. This brand new product is in fact able to detect vehicles approaching from behind, identifying them as far as 240 meters away and warning the cyclist of the possible danger.
CarBack pairs with most main GPS computers, smart watches and smartphones, so cyclists can use the technology they already own. Additionally, cyclists who pair CarBack with their smartphones using theTrek Accessory app, can take advantage of other functions, including the ability to see the exact position of approaching vehicles in real time.
Lighting and design
The compact profile and cutting-edge visibility make CarBack the ideal choice for anyone who wants to ride more safely on the road. It is easy to install and also compatible with aerodynamic seatposts. The compact design fits all bicycles and those with a child seat or other accessories that may be attached to the seat post.
It is designed with the ideal focusing, flashing and beam range characteristics to be visible during daytime driving from a distance of 2 kilometers. Four flashing modes: 90LM Day Flash, 25LM Day Steady, 5LM Night Steady and 5LM Night Flash. CarBack is equipped with a battery life of over 7 hours and has LED indicators that allow you to easily understand the remaining charge level.
