Overview

Radar and tail light in one with the Wahoo TRACKR RADAR

The Wahoo TRACKR RADAR is an all-in-one tail light and radar that detects approaching vehicles up to 150 meters (164 yards) behind you. When a car comes into range, you get real-time audible and visual alerts on your ELEMNT bike computer or a compatible device, so you stay informed without taking your eyes off the road. Its dual high-intensity LEDs use adaptive light modes that respond to traffic, and the brake light gets brighter as you slow down. Quick Alert switches to a continuous flash pattern when a car enters the detection zone, and Battery Extender Mode lowers brightness when no vehicles are detected to stretch your battery on long rides.

It pairs with ELEMNT bike computers and the Wahoo app over Bluetooth Smart and ANT+, and Wahoo says it can also work with other Bluetooth or ANT+ bike computers. ANT+ smart light control lets you run the light hands-free from an ELEMNT, and the Wahoo app handles pairing, firmware updates, light modes, and switching the brake light and Quick Alert on or off to match local traffic rules. Run time ranges from 10 hours in High Steady to 20 hours in Low Flash, the unit weighs 99 g, and it is rated IPX7 for submersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
