Thank you for yet another great MTB products review! For the last 2 yrs I have been using Monteer 6500S (6500 lm / 72 Wh) or RN-3000 (3000 lm / 36 Wh) lights on my dark rides. Both stellar products.
I just got this light. Very expensive. But, this is the best built light i have ever had. I run my lights mostly in winter, has the day are short in the rockies. This thing is solid, it has built in fins to cool it, solid battery. None of that plastic crap. I ride in the mountains, so lots of wildlife and i like to see them before its to late, and by being bright, they see me coming way ahead and can move. I like to see where im going so this light is amazing, the street mode is really nice as it is very focused and wont blind everyone! It is definitely a little overkillz, but hey, id rather have to much light than not enough 😉
Excellent video great break down of the night light when riding through the bush these videos actually show the potential of the product thats for sale not those other BS videos that you see which are complete nonsense and are there to suck you in for the sale... many thanks for the effort of this detailed video you put out.. Cheers!
I'm using pico from Lupine and it's way lighter and you can wear it on Helmet or Handle Bar! Of course there is always a brighter light, but with a little bit stronger Battery I can right more than 4 hours. Even the Remote is smaller. It's strange, we pay so much money for lightweight bikes and install so heavy add ons. Thanks for detailed report 👍
Any chance you could have a look at the Magicshine EVO 1700? I recognize its not designed for the trail riding, but the high beam setting on it might work well on the trials. I'm all about the self contained, no external battery set up!
I would get it if i could afford it. I love having good visibility. Right now I'm using an 1100 lumen light and it's ok. I think if i got another that bright for my helmet i would be set on lights. 12000 seems crazy like it'll burn holes in the leaves lol
Awesome review as always thanks!!!This light looks amazing the price not so much.On my emtb's I've had good luck running supernova lights which use the ebike battery for power.I paid 400.00cdn at bike24 in germany for the mini pro.Cheers!!!
imo, every modern non-specialist bike should allow for a removable battery for powering gadgets, even if it's not an e-bike; there's plenty of space for that inside the frame.
2000 might be just enough if youre' not going too fast. But the advantage of more powerful lights is also that you can go longer if you don't use them at max power output.@@woduk
this costs 519$?! you can find EXACTLY this flashlight for 25-40$ on the 2 most popular chinese markets i cant mention because the youtuber put it on a badword filter. this is a shopify reseller charging 15-25x the price he paid for a flashlight LoveMTB you should shame yourself for promoting such a reseller shop
Have you ordered bot lights to compare them, i would like to see your reviewon bot lights? Sure pictures on the internet are always exact right? Maybe before you go and tell people off, be 1000% sure of what your talking about.
Do not buy this light. I have the 8000 and it can't be trusted and has failed me continuously. Cheap cables will not hold up to any outdoor pursuit. Avoid and save yourself the headache, missed rides and getting stranded in the dark.
