Rear Radar and Taillight in One Road-Ready Unit

The Wahoo Trackr Radar is an all-in-one rear radar and taillight designed for road cyclists who want to stay aware of approaching vehicles without taking their eyes off the road ahead. The unit detects approaching vehicles up to 150 meters (164 yards) behind the rider and delivers audible and visual warnings through a compatible ELEMNT bike computer or other compatible device, keeping the rider informed of traffic behind them without requiring a head turn or any distraction from riding.

The design is described as sleek and road-ready - a compact unit that does not add unnecessary bulk to the bike while delivering the combined functionality of a tail light and radar system. It is USB rechargeable and mounts using a versatile mounting system compatible with standard seatpost, saddle rail, and helmet mount configurations depending on the rider's preference.

For riders who train on roads with regular vehicle traffic, the Trackr Radar provides a meaningful layer of situational awareness that works alongside mirrors and natural head checks rather than replacing them - giving a clearer picture of what is approaching from behind before it is close enough to see or hear without assistance.

• Detects approaching vehicles up to 150 meters (164 yards) behind you providing audible and visual warnings through your ELEMNT bike computer or compatible devices keeping you informed without taking your eyes off the road
• Equipped with dual high-intensity LEDs TRACKR RADAR ensures maximum visibility with adaptive lighting modes based on traffic conditions and a brake light feature that increases luminosity when slowing down enhancing road safety
• Maximizes battery life for long rides by reducing brightness when no vehicles are detected. It offers multiple light modes including high flash low flash and steady options to match your riding conditions
• Pairs seamlessly with ELEMNT bike computers and the Wahoo App via Bluetooth Smart and ANT+ allowing you to adjust settings update firmware and manage light modes directly from your device. It also works with other Bluetooth or ANT+ bike computers

Dual High-Intensity LEDs, Adaptive Lighting, and Brake Light Feature

The Trackr Radar is equipped with dual high-intensity LEDs that provide rear visibility to drivers and road users behind the cyclist. The lighting system operates with adaptive modes that adjust brightness based on traffic conditions detected by the radar - reducing brightness when no vehicles are detected to extend battery life, and increasing output when vehicles are approaching to maximise visibility at the moment it matters most.

A brake light feature is integrated into the system - when the rider slows down, the rear light increases luminosity automatically, signalling deceleration to approaching vehicles in a way that mirrors the brake light behaviour of a motor vehicle. This is a practical safety feature for road riding in traffic where sudden braking can create a hazard if the vehicle behind is not aware the cyclist is slowing.

Multiple light modes are available including high flash, low flash, and steady options, allowing the rider to select the output suited to their riding conditions, time of day, and personal visibility preference.

ELEMNT Integration, ANT+ and Bluetooth Connectivity

The Trackr Radar pairs seamlessly with Wahoo ELEMNT bike computers via both Bluetooth Smart and ANT+, displaying incoming vehicle warnings directly on the computer screen in the rider's line of sight. This integration allows the rider to receive radar alerts without looking away from the road or reaching for the taillight itself. Settings, firmware updates, and light mode adjustments can all be managed directly from the ELEMNT computer or through the Wahoo App on a paired smartphone.

The unit is also compatible with other ANT+ or Bluetooth-enabled bike computers beyond the ELEMNT range, extending compatibility to riders using third-party head units. Confirm compatibility with your specific computer model before purchase if not using a Wahoo ELEMNT device.

The rechargeable battery maximises its life across long rides through the adaptive brightness system - running at reduced output when the radar detects no approaching traffic and increasing only when vehicles are present. This demand-based power management extends the practical range of a single charge compared to a unit running at constant output regardless of conditions.

FAQs

How far can the Wahoo Trackr Radar detect approaching vehicles?

The Trackr Radar detects approaching vehicles up to 150 meters (164 yards) behind the rider, delivering audible and visual warnings through a compatible device.

Does the Trackr Radar work with bike computers other than Wahoo ELEMNT?

Yes. The unit connects via both Bluetooth Smart and ANT+, making it compatible with other Bluetooth or ANT+ enabled bike computers beyond the Wahoo ELEMNT range. Confirm compatibility with your specific device before purchase.

What light modes does the Trackr Radar offer?

The unit offers multiple light modes including high flash, low flash, and steady options, alongside adaptive brightness that adjusts automatically based on detected traffic conditions.

Does the Trackr Radar have a brake light feature?

Yes. The unit automatically increases rear light luminosity when the rider slows down, signalling deceleration to approaching vehicles in the same way a motor vehicle brake light operates.

How is the Trackr Radar charged?

The unit is USB rechargeable. The adaptive brightness system extends battery life by reducing output when no vehicles are detected and increasing it only when traffic is approaching.

Can I adjust settings and update firmware remotely?

Yes. The Wahoo App and compatible ELEMNT bike computers allow you to adjust settings, update firmware, and manage light modes directly from your device without physical access to the taillight.

Where does the Trackr Radar mount on the bike?

The unit uses a versatile mounting system. Confirm specific mount compatibility with your seatpost diameter and preferred mounting position before purchase.
