Bontrager Ion Pro RT review, Cycling Plus magazine front light grouptest, November 2020:
"Bontrager's Ion Pro RT achieves the gold standard of a high-lumen output with a consistent and well-focused beam pattern. The yellow beam produced does not appear to be the brightest when viewing the night shots [photographs], but it creates a warmer light without glare that is easier on the eye. Plus, the quality of the beam is very even with no obvious 'stepping' or hard edges. The distance reach is excellent and there's enough spread to give good peripheral vision without leaking too much light upwards, so less risk of dazzling pedestrians or other road users.
... This is a slim unit that doesn't hog space on your bar. The mount was the easiest on test to fit, with a simple hand-tightened hinged clamp that has an integral rubber bar-protector. It's a small detail but it made it so much less fiddly to fit and there's no chance of losing it. There is a reassuringly positive click when sliding the light onto the bracket, while a raised grip pattern on the sides makes it easy to remove, even with gloved hands. Together with the quality of the light, it's the considered detail like this that elevates the Ion Pro RT.
Our only gripe is that there is no lateral adjustment - the light is fixed in one position on the bracket - but that feels like a minor objection to what is an otherwise incredibly well-specified and designed light. Belting out enough lumens for confidence on unlit roads with little traffic, it transitions well to a more urban environment, and in contrast is bright enough for off-road use too. If you regularly switch between bikes and terrain it will work as well on your commute as on weekend club outings or mountain bike night rides.
The Bontrager Ion Pro RT is a powerful, versatile, solidly constructed light and a worthy winner."

Verdict:
Powerful and versatile light that will meet almost any riding need.
