An IPX7 waterproof rating helps ensure trouble-free operation in all conditions, and the USB-C port makes it quick and easy to charge.

A smaller profile makes it easier to mount CarBack on smaller frames and with saddle bags.

CarBack pairs with most major cycling computers, so you can use it with the GPS head unit you already have.

ANT+ compatible devices

Connect CarBack to your phone through the Trek Accessory App, which will let you see the position of oncoming cars in real time or get audio alerts from your pocket.

Watch the video

A single light that helps drivers see the rider from further away and helps riders get advance notice of approaching cars equals more confidence on the road with fewer surprises.
