What do you get when your crew is rocking Portals on a night ride and your buddy's chain breaks while 15 miles deep into the National Forest? You have an extremely well-lit work area! Our lights had enough juice to pull off a 34-mile ride and a 30-minute chain repair to boot. Nice flex Outbound!
These lights are super bright and provided plenty of light in the dark forests of the PNW. They were shipped very quickly too!
This is the best light on the market, no contest. You can't put a price on safety. I have several others and they can't compete on the dispersion of the light, intensity, or battery run time. Would buy again.
I bought the detourafter a few months atfer it's first debut. I've had no problems with this light. Even in super rainy weather. I love the flash mode. It's not like other lights. On flash mode the light flashes and has a steady light at the same time. So gives you that sense of security when riding at night. It doesn't give that on and off look like strobe lights. When not on flash mode, the light gives you a wide field of view of the road surface ahead and sides. It doesn't give that tunnel view most lights give. I still have the first battery and corded version fo the of the outbound trail, and still use it till this day. But I finally purchased a trail evo. Can't wait to go out on the trails at night. My OG corded trail will be lent out to newbies. Keep up the good work Outbound! It is I who introduced your lights to my fellow bike riders here in Guam 🇬🇺.
Have to turn one off on the road because cars think I’m one of them. You may as well be riding during the day with these lights on….. also love the easy snap lock on the EVO - very well manufactured
About 4 years ago, I purchased a hangover/ego combo... it is amazing and has never let me down. We were looking for a second set for the dark winter days. I went on to buy another combo but saw the Portal combo and decided it was worth the try!
It did not disappoint! The new portal/Evo combo almost takes the fun out of night riding! No more clipping branches, losing the trail, riding off cliffs... 🤣
Worth every penny!
When you are leaf surfing on your mountain bike at night and it constantly sounds like something is chasing you; the safe assumption is that you ARE being chased by Bigfoot. Don’t worry though, because Outbound lights will light your escape.
I am an Outbound Lighting customer for life! They make outstanding products for cyclists. Even if you break their lights or otherwise parts of them, doing dumb stuff, they’ll take care of you! I experienced their top-tier customer service firsthand after I stripped the head of the installation screw for my Trail Evo mount, which I was swapping between bikes. Outbound Lighting’s team went above and beyond, swiftly sending me a replacement screw and a whole new mount at no cost, eliminating my need over transferring parts between bikes. Then, within days of the first warranty request, I had an incident involving a low-hanging branch leading to what looked like catastrophic damage to my Hangover Light. Outbound immediately emailed pre-paid postage so I could return the damaged unit at no cost. Astoundingly, they replaced the housing for the light without any hassle and returned it to me functioning flawlessly. True to their word, they turned it around quickly, getting it in the mail back to me the same day they received it. With shipping time to and from Alaska, the whole process only took 7 days from broken light to repaired light in my hands! Every interaction with Outbound Lighting has left a positive impression, not just for their prompt service but also for their attentiveness to customer satisfaction. This brand sets the standard for what quality and reliability should be in the lighting industry. I wholeheartedly recommend Outbound Lighting to anyone in need of dependable cycling lighting solutions backed by an outstanding warranty and customer service!
I currently own 2 detour lights for my gravel bike And my wife's gravel bike when we are riding at night on rails to trails and on the road. Gotta stay legal and not blind driversnin cars.
But for my mountain bike I purchased the trail evo light. WOW!
It rivals my ram pickup lights. It's actually better, so not really a rival. I have started using it on some trails riding too on the gravel bike. It's really good and well worth every penny!
I primarily purchased for night MTB riding . But now that it dark when I walk my dogs I found that the Portal light works great when mounted to my GoPro hardness - hand free dog walking now and much better than a flashlight!!!
But night riding with both Trail-Evo and now the Portal it’s like daylight on the trails. No more wires!
Also looking forward in trying the Portal on my Road bike ..
😁
With the EVO and new Portal lights, I have no reservations starting my mountain bike ride in the dark. The EVO has a wide light pattern and the Portal has a long penetrating light for those curved or elevated sections of the trail. I have the integrated RSL carbon handle bar and with the Bontrager Blendr 529589 and the OBL Action Camera Mount, it’s an integrated looking setup that’s rock solid over bumps.
The first time you go without the Cable Manger you are going to wish got one! Order it now! Seriously!
Super sweet!
I wish I bit the bullet and got the downhill package but better late than never. Having the trail evo is a huge game changer! Night rides have never been less scary and confident!
I have the new Portal and the Evo light fit my mountain bike and detour gravel light. Super well made, easy to use, insanely bright and focused just where you need the light. Perfect!
The customer service is also spectacular! 👍 highly recommended product and company!
