They just want people to use lights on bikes, regardless of who it is. In fact, it’s a point Garmin made pains to emphasize: While they technically compete with Bontrager in this space of ANT+ enabled bike lights, they don’t want to make it some sort of ugly marketing battle. The general concept there is similar though, and I like those lights quite a bit too. I have talked in a few posts about the Bontrager RT lights in the past, though never quite finished my review. Aside from the Varia Radar light I reviewed two years back, this is actually the first pure light focused in-depth review I’ve done (though I did do a first look of the See.Sense ICON lights). I’ve been able to test out the UT800 both on trail and road rides, and thus have a pretty good handle on how it all works. Not to mention the nifty new mounting system. The unit now increases and decreases brightness with speed, as well as has other modes to save battery. With the UT800 though, the company has shifted the focus to the trail side of the cycling realm (though, it’s still perfectly fine for commuting). This light builds upon the connected concepts from their first generation lights, such as integration with their head units. Today, Garmin introduced their latest generation front bike light – the UT800.
