| FavoriteTrail: | Bump & Grind |
| Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month |
| Price Paid: | $250 |
| Purchased At: | Exposurelightsusa.com |
| Strengths: | Lightweight no cords |
| Weaknesses: | Helmet mount not compatiable with my helmet |
| Similar Products Tried: | Cateye, niterider Minewt X2 |
| Bike Setup: | Turner Flux, SRAM XO-XTR |
| Bottom Line: | This light puts out a good amount of light, it is brighter than the X2 on the highest setting of three. I mount the X2 on the handle bar and the Joystick on my helment (cord free). I ride about 5 hours a week during darkness and do 24 hr races and this is the setup, light weight and plenty bright. I mounted it with some velcro adhesive and a velcro strap as the helmet mount did not work with my helmet because it has to bolt through a center air vent which my helmet does not have. When I bought it I figured I would have to modify the mount so that was not an issue. It is an excellent light. |

| Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month |
| Price Paid: | $290 |
| Purchased At: | Wiggle |
| Strengths: | Very Small, lightweight, uncomplicated, very bright, robust and good price. |
| Weaknesses: | The setting selection button takes me a few goes to get working in flash mode. The lens looks to have some shavings/debris on the inside and there is a lump of something on the lens. But this doesn't appear to affect performance. |
| Similar Products Tried: | Cateye |
| Bike Setup: | Specialized Epic. Only changes are panaceracer trailrakers tyres, big pedals and WTB Rocket V seat. |
| Bottom Line: | Both lamp and helmet mount have a minimalist design and are very well engineered. Charging is a doddle. There was a bit of a wait from Wiggle as demand for this lamp has rocketed due to excellent reviews in MTB mags. This tiny lamp throws out an amazing amount of light, I couldn't believe how bright this lamp is. This is all you need! |
