from New Hartford, NY, USA Date Reviewed: February 21, 2010 Strengths: The MiNewt.X2 is a light, bright light in a sturdy package. I have used the light on cross-country single track without need for a bar light. Weaknesses: Unfortunately, reliability is horrible. The light refused to work and I returned it to Niterider. They "repaired", not very quickly, and the returned light worked for less than 1 month. I returned it again, this time they held on to it for over 3 weeks only to tell me there was nothing wrong with the light!! I got it back, it worked in the bike shop, but never again after that. Luckily my shop gave me my money back. I have had another Niterider digital headtrip that died after the "smart" charger fried the battery. I will NEVER buy another Niterider. Their customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $180.00 Purchased At: local bike shop Similar Products Used: Niterider Digital Headtrip. Bike Setup: Trek 8000 hard tail.

from Lambertville, NJ Date Reviewed: May 14, 2009 Strengths: Small, Light Weight, Fast Charge Time Weaknesses: Breaks Easily, Doesn't throw off a ton of light down trail (useful for 30min before to an hour or so after dusk) I'm actually on my second replacement right now. The first time the led blew after about 160 hours of riding. This last time the cord broke loose from the plug connector. Niterider has replaced it the first time... actually sent out the light today to be fixed so I'm not sure if it will be warrantied again.

from Boise, ID, USA Date Reviewed: November 22, 2008 Strengths: This is a great small package, and the light works very well for commuting. It's perfect for that application, except for poor battery life. Weaknesses: The battery life isn't close to what is claimed, and a replacement battery is ridiculously expensive. Dinotte has much better pricing on batteries. NR claims the charger is a "smart" charger, but it always takes 4 hours to charge the battery, no matter the state of charge!

Great helmet lamp for serious singletrack riding, when used with a bar mount light. Long burn time. Weaknesses: On/off switch on battery, so it could be out of reach depending on where you place it.
