Bright light with a wide beam. Easy to use and mount. Not in the way while riding. The light itself appears to be well made. The mount supports the light well. I do believe that the mount could have been a bit more robust. But, at this point the mount is doing its job with no issues.
This light oozes quality. It’s hard to find things these days that are this well thought out. Everything has purpose and no corners cut. Plus, I’ve only heard good things about this company and their customer service. Several of my friends own their mountain bike lights and rave over them.
I finally pulled the trigger and got my own! The days are getting shorter (it’s fall at the time I’m writing this). The brightness is perfect. It’s a nice wide even spread, with a bit of a hot spot, that when aimed correctly shines well down the trail (all while having a sharp cutoff to not blind others). The runtime is great, and I love that it has pass through charging should I ever want to ride longer.
Overall, the price is what held me back initially, but it’s well worth it. I feel safer, and more confident riding at night now that I can see even better. The Detour replace an older Niterider Lumina. It was plenty bright, but way too narrow a beam.
I have to admit, I have some pretty unruly cables on my bikes. I didn't want my cables interfering with my spectacular Evo lighting so I bought a Cable Manager. Simple but incredibly well constructed. I do believe even my 6yr old Grandson could install it!
Ok, the Cable Manager works great, but you know what works even better? Customer Service. My order shipped quickly and then went into the USPS Void. I waited about a week and sent out a quick email to Outbound and Lauren shipped another one the same day. Color me impressed! Overall, Outbound Lighting has never disappointed me and their products are outstanding!
Very impressed. Love the minimalist approach, just charge and go. Extremely bright.
I bought this light specifically to run during unbound gravel and feared I would only use it for that event and then never use it again as I never used to ride early morning or after sunset because of crappy bike lights I had in the past. With the days getting shorter this fall I have been regularly venturing out in the evenings after dark because this light is so absurdly bright I actually feel comfortable riding in the dark. It has a bunch of convenient mounting solutions. I have mine mounted via their action camera mount underneath a K-edge garmin mount and it is a sturdy and nice looking setup. I will likely add the helmet mounted one to my gear soon… Now they just need to make a rear light…
Got my Trail Evo, installed it on my Turbo Levo and on my Tero X with the GoPro style mount, both rock solid, not bouncing on the handlebar. The light itself is totally crazy, newer had a light with a wide and extremely smooth beam, you can see into the corners and it's like you have a helmet light too, you can see everything even in low mode so you can ride whole night, seriously awesome light and worth every penny!
Yes, it’s robust. Yes, it mounts solidly to an Enduro bike over rough terrain. Yes, it’s basically as bright at the headlights in your car. But it doesn’t stop there. Other uses for this thing: Working in/under/around the car. Take it with you on a camping trip. Lose power at home? No problem. Looking to make your other biking friends jealous and/or blind? This is the light for you. A+
By night the Trail Evo lights the path like no other. By day the Trail Evo Light is a good looking addition to any bike. The mounting bracket is clean and not overdone while the light has lines that flow nicely with the bike and offers a super clean look. Well done Outbound!
Absolutely wonderful lighting system!!!
I typically don’t put to much thought into reviews but felt it was needed for this. I rode with a friend that had suggested for the upcoming fall season that I get outbound lights. So I did a little research and read some reviews and figured I was going to purchase. Just did my first night ride this week and all I can say is BUY THE LIGHTS! What an incredible experience! I purchased the combo helmet/handlebar. It was like driving a car on the trail! Nice job Outbound!
Perfect mounting design on the bars and helmet. Smart modes based on riding from dusk -> dark. Don't get caught up in lumen comparison, these are the lights you need.
Outbound lights up the road surfaces so I don’t have any surprises on my delta trike.
Well made and perfect for night riding. Easy to install and has been reliable thus far. I love supporting great products like this!
Sick light for the road, works really well and the beam is awesome. Adaptive mode is great and you don’t notice any change at all.
Trek owners using the Blendr mounts - get the action cam mount as well and it fits with the stem mount for a flush install.
Very happy with the Detour Light, great quality, high output, simple to use. I also bought the Action Camera Quick Mount, works perfectly with my Quad Lock Out Front Mount.
