They just sent me some screws for free for the handlebar clamp. I love this company because not only do they have the best lights on the market. They also have some of the best customer service. My wife and I both have a full set up so nothing ever stops us from riding in the winter. Thank you everyone at outbound lighting!
Got on a Mtb In November, signed up for 24hrs in the old Puebla! Needed some lights for the night section and these were awesome! Helped me get in around 250 plus miles and a 7th place finish for my first mtb race. Great lights and last longer with an external battery! Yeww!
Was sceptical when i bought these, was not completely sold on the luhmens is not all hype... And also the luhmen per buck ratio is a bit bad on paper, and hard to swallow....
Boy was i wrong, is so glad i did go this route, im insanely happy with the lights, and now i am longing for the autum and dark evenings. These lights have given me a whole new night experience, and now i love to go out on the trails at night.
Cannot praise them enought.
I bought my Detour light to mount on the front of my bike for a 24-hour race I signed up for. I knew that I’d need it to last throughout the night, so I kept it on low and turned it off when I could. It was still plenty bright to ride with on low and kept me riding through until the sun came up, exactly what I needed! During the day I could charge at food stops and bathrooms, and this light never failed me.
These guys know what they’re doing and they produce a solid light that won’t fail you.
Buy one and be happy that you haven’t wasted your money and time with a cheapie that will definitely fail. I love it so much that I made a tiny paracord tether to tie it to my bars.
Thanks so much guys! I would 100% recommend this light and will definitely buy another one if I lose it or if it gets stolen!
A couple years ago I bought both the main headlight and helmet light for and event of 2 double centuries and 2 singles in 3 weeks riding alone. They provided bright clear light for many hours night riding giving me more confidence.
The entire trip was a pleasure even at night.
Thank you for delivering what you claim
With 225 miles, 21k feet of elevation gain and a target of sub 48 hours, our group of 3 knew some dark time riding would be in our future. On day 2 we summited Spruce Knob in WV (highest peak in the state) at midnight in the fog - then had to descend in the dark and fog. The Detour light was clutch in this effort. Wtih pass through charging I was able to keep the light running between medium and high for over 5 hours and never lost a bar on the light battery. The confidence that fact provided allowed a tired cyclist finish a pretty tough day to attain our goal.
Outbound Lighting has continued to impress me with their products over the years. I installed two Detours on the handlebars and added a new Blade for the rear light. Super excited to stand out well during night rides. Best products, customer service, and warranty on their products.
Yall rock! I had a small issue with a trail evo and it got replaced under warranty no questions asked and priority shipped both ways. You can’t ask for a better warranty.
I have the Evo handlebar light paired with the portal helmet light. These lights are a game changer. Night rides have been an absolute blast since riding with this setup. No wires to hassle with, super bright field of vision, and long battery runtime has given me full confidence riding after the sun goes down. Had a bit of water damage to my evo light after about 6 months of use. Contacted OL with a description of the problem. They sent me a shipping label and I sent my light out to them for inspection and repair. They fixed me right up free of charge and even sent me a new cable manager on the house. Absolute top notch products and customer service from these guys. Love em!
I've had my Outbound Detour headlight for years and love it, so I had to check out the taillight when I saw that they were making one.
It's tremendous. Barfs out a ton of light in a bunch of directions in every mode, giant battery means it runs forever, and it has real nice bike presence.
This feels like one of the best lights on the market; I like this thing so much that I've already ordered another for my wife.
I really like this light, but I’ve had trouble finding a good mount and the right place to install it.
I’m currently using a stem mount with a Garmin Edge 540 and an Insta360 Ace Pro 2 action camera, which makes it difficult to use the official standard mount for this light because it physically conflicts with my current setup.
In the end, I used a K-EDGE Go Big mount and intentionally angled it upward so I could mount the light properly.
Finally had a chance to put my outbound detour to the test. Lost my last light on a gnarly gravel ride (mount broke) and needed something sturdy and capable of long run time. The light would have to get me through my first 600km brevet, so it had to have good output, battery life, and absolutely support pass-through charging. Fittingly, I saw the outbound detour recommended in the Randonneuring subreddit and decided to give it a shot. No regrets. Not a cheap light by any means, but I mean that in all senses of the word. This thing is sturdy, robust, and well designed. It stay firmly mounted where I set it and even on the lowest setting for me through the night. The button is easy to hit and the charging port location made it easy to hook up a battery pack and keep it topped off. Looking forward to more night rides now to dodge this summer heat!
A light so bright that I know I'll be an eye catching sight. When rolling down a road with whatever mode drivers will have no excuse to crush me like a toad. The battery life so long my playlist nearly runs out of songs. With its well engineered durable design it will surely last me a lifetime. I hope this review persuades you to upgrade to the blade as using their awesome products certainly adds happiness and safety to my day!
I bought a Portal helmet light for mountain biking a good while back… as someone who rode with the old “battery in a pack” and “water bottle cage battery” setups years ago (so heavy, so many cables, ugh), I fully appreciate how light this thing is, how balanced it feels on my helmet, and how BRIGHT it is! Every time I turn it on, it’s just almost unbelievable how bright it is, how wide and far the throw is, etc. This one light does it all and does it so very well. (Did I say it’s bright?!?!) The battery lasts plenty long (I’ve never run out of juice on a night ride) and it’s so bright that there’s no need to change my riding style, speed, etc. when the sun goes down. My only desire for the next iteration is a spider / cobweb deterrent!? 🕷️🕸️😰 Hahaha… AMAZING product! If you ride at night, do yourself a favor and just get the Portal. You will not regret it… 💫🤙🏼💯🚲
Had the hangover since 2021. Getting ready to go for night ride, charging light. Didn't charge. Contacted OL. Spoke with Jason & Tom. Great guy's. Helped me out. And I received my new light within a week of last email. New light is even better than the old. I truly recommend OL. I've been riding since the 90's. These are the best light combo I've used. Get yourself a set. Cheer's.Happy Riding. PEACE ✌️
