Shanren Raz Pro Smart Bicycle Taillight Review - feat. Brake Sensor + RGB Color Selection + 60 Lumen

One of the biggest changes when it comes to bicycle tail lights is the integrations of sensors and smart connectivity features. Tail lights aren’t just simple AAA battery operated lights with one or two output modes anymore, they’ve become smart devices. The Shanren Raz Pro is perhaps one of the smartest taillights on the market and was successfully launched from a Kickstarter campaign as “an expert bike taillight.” The Raz Pro has the technology to back the claim as it not only features brake and ambient light sensor but can also detect bumps and sync flash modes with other Raz Pros near it. Designed around 12 full color LEDS in a circular pattern, the Raz Pro boasts 60 lumen output and upto 48 hour runtime. With the bluetooth connected Shanren app, you can select any color in the RGB spectrum as well as fully configure the tail light.

Shanren currently offers two mounting options for the Raz Pro: a seatpost / helmet mount known as the RX1 and an optional seat rail bracket which is the RX2. While we didn’t get to try the RX2, we mounted the Raz Pro on our seatpost. The seatpost / helmet mount uses a quarter turn style holder with a dual o-ring design that is similar to computer mounts. Four hooks on the mount can be used in conjunction with the o-rings to secure the taillight to a seatpost or helmet. It’s a bit cumbersome to take the taillight on/off compared to the rubber straps you’ll find on standard tail lights like the Topeak Redlite Aero but works well. With the quarter turn style mount, the Raz Pro is easy to quickly install and remove from the mount though.

With a round shape and white lens color, the Raz Pro has a modern visual design to match the high tech features. Concentric rings of lighter gray breakup the white lens and give it a unique look. There are 12 LEDs arranged in a circular pattern along the center of the tail light that only become obvious when the tail light is on. While the tail light looks white when off, internal reflective elements ensure it glows the selected LED color when it is on. The Raz Pro isn’t particularly thin as the internal battery and protruding Garmin style mount account for about 75% of the 20mm thickness. There is also minimal branding on the tail light with the logo printed in a small font on each side of the housing.
