Track and Trail is an entry level accessories brand from T.I Cycles. These accessories are basic but functional and easily compatible. The light series from Track and Trail have seen a few new releases. One of them is the Track and Trail Streak 5SLZ and we got the opportunity to test it out. Read on to know how it faired.
The Steak 5SLZ is a rear LED light. There are 5 LED bulbs in the panel inside which makes it brighter and balanced. The LED Light has 2 modes, a steady and a flashing mode. These modes are switchable by pressing and holding the red button on top of the light. This light is big in size and hence makes it visible for motorists and other cyclists on the road behind you.
The surprising element in this rear light are the safety marker laser lights, one on each side. This laser makes a vertical line parallel to the cycle on each side, a foot away from the cycle. This laser line is bright and visible on dark roads and helps the rider be extra safe as other motorists on the road know there is a virtual space which they should give the cyclist. This is an excellent safety feature which is very useful on dark and badly lit roads. The laser also has 2 modes, a constant and a flashing one which can controlled using another red button on top of the light. This light works on 2 AAA batteries which are included with it and has a battery life of 2 hours in steady mode for both LED and laser and 50 hours with LED on flash and laser.
This rear LED light can be fixed on to the seat post using a simple clamp adapter which can loosened and tightened with a star screwdriver. It is easy to install and the strong clamp keeps the light steady. This clamp is adjustable and can make this light move up and down according to whichever angle of laser and LED you would need. The design of this light is simple yet elegant with bright, easy to use
