Magicshine EVO 1700 Underneath Mounted Bike Lights for Night Riding,USB-C Rechargeable Bike Headlight, IPX 6 Waterproof Bike Front Light for Road Urban Cyclists

The media could not be loaded. The Magicshine EVO 1700 is incredibly bright, offering 1700 lumens that can light up even the darkest paths. Its wide, consistent beam is great for night rides, providing clear visibility for technical trails or fast descents. The sturdy construction and secure mounting make it a reliable option, even on rough terrain.While its brightness is impressive, it’s worth being mindful of its impact on oncoming traffic by using the low and high beam feature just like your car. The light includes multiple modes to extend battery life, making it versatile for different types of rides.I have mine mounted to the bottom of my quadlock outfront pro mount and looks great, although the supplied mount looks sturdy too.If you’re looking for a bike light that offers serious illumination, the EVO 1700 delivers.

The media could not be loaded. I've been an endurance cyclist for twenty five years and in that time I have owned a lot of bicycle lights. They just keep getting better and better. This is no exception.It wasn't long ago that a light like this would have cost $300 and I would have paid it. To get this for less than $70 is fantastic. It has a shaped beam so it makes best use of every photon. I won't buy round beamed lights anymore. Take a look at the video I attached and you can see that the beam is shaped so the entire road appears evenly illuminated without extra photons blasting the eyes of oncoming traffic. Remember, even though photons have no mass, the battery does. So every photon that shines up into the treetops came from a battery that you have to carry around. Shaped beams are great.The upside down mounting position is unusual and takes some getting used to. If, like me, you already have head units, aerobars, and stuff on your handlebars, you will appreciate this. However it would be even better if you could choose which way up you mount it, like my Towild CL1200.The high-beam/low-beam feature is great, but it only works well because of the remote. It's easy to mount the remote on your handlebars and flip from high to low, between modes, and into flashing mode. If there aren't enough modes for you, use the app to create your own custom modes.The mount that comes with the light is a combination GoPro/Wahoo/Garmin mount that fits onto 31.8mm or narrower handlebars. Some people have said it's flimsy because it is plastic, but I think it is well sturdy enough for the job. Having said that, I have 22mm handlebars so I had to buy a different mount from Amazon.Please watch the video. I hope you can see why I like this light so much.

Works great but the remote sucks. It’s mounting is too weak and if you zip tie it too hard it will break.

Just purchased a second one. I love the style and build quality of the light which has a metal case. I am using a dual mount so that my computer is on top and the light hangs below freeing up my handlebars. (I am able to reach the light and so I am not using the remote.) The plastic fitting that connects to the top of the light needs improvement and eventually wore out. Hopefully, this second one will last longer. There are no other options so once this fitting wears out your light will go flying.

1. Super bright, I would say that 800lm on the low beam is more than enough for all conditions, 400lm is pretty good and I would recommend 600lm if you want to have a similar experience to 800lm while saving some battery life.2. The cutoff is awesome, you can just use it on the low beam setting and switch to the high beam on some dark intersections and stuff like that to alert other people, it would be useful to read a sign or stuff like that on really dark conditions, otherwise you can ride without blinding people using the low beam.3. The beam pattern is great, super wide to the floor with very sharp lines, really long which gives you plenty of time to react.4. I am not a really big fan of really bright flashing lights so I wouldn’t use this one as a flashing light, you will just blind everybody with this light, having said that the flashing mode is great to alert other people that you are there on certain conditions, the difference between the low beam and high beam distance is considerable so when you turn on the flashing mode the floor below a pedestrian or another cyclist will start to flash which they will instantly notice a few meters before you arrive, just make sure you turn it off after you overtake them to not annoy other people, use it sparingly.5. I love the remote, it makes switching between modes super easy and the high beam wouldn’t be usable without it.6. The mounting system, super practical and it puts the light on the perfect position, it’s perfect if you use a computer already.I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 for a few reasons:1. The battery life is a bit misleading, the light will “last” 3hs when you set it to 800lm on the low beam but after 2hs the light will go down to about 200lm all of the sudden and you can’t change it until you charge it.2. As some people mentioned the remote won’t work sometimes, the issue is not the remote but the light, for whatever reason sometimes the Bluetooth on the light will stop working and you can’t control it using the remote or the phone app, the only way to fix it is to plug the usb cable and it will start working again, pretty weird, it happens very very rarely but I would turn it on to test it before you go out just in case.I can see how the plastic support that the light is attached to would break if you over tighten it, it looks stiff and like most things that are stiff they are also brittle if you compress them, I haven’t had an issue with it so far but after seeing the other reviews I made sure to not over tighten it, you don’t need to over tighten it to get it into the perfect position.

Fun light! Love the high/low beams. Super bright. A little heavy but because the housing is all aluminum and super durable. No more blinding drivers at night!
