The price might seem steep, but this is a great light for all-round use, with an excellent beam pattern, simple and quick controls with digital display, excellent side visibility, and whopping run times in real world riding use.
It’s controlled by two buttons, so there’s no cycling through settings to get to the level you want; you just go brighter or dimmer, and the display shows what you’ve set and how long you have left in the battery for that lighting level.
The tool-free mount is a little tricky initially, although the light is held securely, and because it has a large capacity battery, charging from flat to full takes just over four hours.
