Pros & Cons
Pros
Light is floody but can also light a decent distance on the higher modes. The tradeoff is that this has a more focussed beam than the hotrod. I love the variety of lighting options you get with cygolite and especially like the steady pulse mode, which... Read More
Light is bright enough on the high setting for night riding on dark streets and paved trails. Brightness is enough to light the pavement ahead of me, and i don't fear not seeing a pothole. It's definately bright enough for drivers and pedestrians to s... Read More
The light charges via a micro usb port on the back of the device, a bit of a nuisance but not a big deal.
Cons
Will be sending this back asap. Cygolite expects the customer to pay for shipping the unit back and forth and *might* repair it if they feel like it. The warranty is terrible.
The clamp mechanism doesn't fit the larger diameter section of my handle bars. The base is poorly designed. The thumbscrew loosens a long way, but not quite enough before it falls off. Still very slippery on a metal handlebar.
The real issues here are the light's brightness, and'sequence modes' of switch. Don't know about the battery life. It only blinks if i hold down the button, in other words, useless.

Price
Ive owned two or three of these lights and theyre worth every penny

Shipping
Tldr i paid for an 1100 but received an 800 in the package and had to return
Packaging/appearance
Its not meant for that but would be nice to include the larger clamp as well in the package
Time will tell where it saved me was that i was able to charge the light while using it on the last leg of a long bikepacking event
Competitiveness
This is on the efficient frontier build quality is important for bike lights many products break easily and as of a few years p... Read More
