These lights are really amazing. The pattern throws even light across the trail. I’ve been riding at night for a long time and these are the best. I don’t think I’d change a thing. Get out there and ride!
Hands down, the best light in the market. Mounts in the center of your handle bars, multiple settings, battery lasts forever, 3 year warranty, great customer service etc. I highly recommend.
Outbound lighting has turned every morning into an adventure as I fire up my trail evo for the ride up to clear creek summit in search of the perfect sunrise.
Got the Evo and Portal set, and they're super bright and work awesome together.
Riding for an hour and twenty minutes in adaptive mode, and it went down to 50%.
I was kinda iffy about the price, but I'm so glad I got it. The quality is top-notch, and I'm stoked for the tail light when they come out.
This is my 2nd outbound lighting. Not because my first one broke, but because they are so awesome and amazingly bright. I gave my original outbound trail edition to my son, and upgraded to the trail EVO. Super happy with it. The hangover or portal is next on my list. Great lights. Definitely recommend them.
Turned my favorite ride into my new favorite ride.
I can’t wait to use these light on a night ride. Last year I bought the hangover to try it and it was the best this ever. So this year I decided to buy 2 Trail Evos and 2 more Hangovers. So I can ride with my buddies and they have a good light to see with! Thanks Outbound!
I purchased this light about three months ago and wanted to spend some time using it before writing my review. Since then, I have ridden close to 900 miles, with most of my training sessions taking place before sunrise. I was searching for a light bright enough to clearly illuminate the road ahead, yet not so intense that it would blind oncoming traffic. I believe the cutoff beam does a great job of this. Most of my rides are on small roads with minimal street lighting.
The light has exceeded my expectations, even during bouts of light rain. On most rides, I use the adaptive mode, which works wonderfully—I hardly notice any dimming as the ride progresses. In adaptive mode, I consistently achieve more than three hours and twenty minutes of runtime, which is impressive, though I’m unsure if this is typical performance.
The light easily brightens one lane of the road, and compared to other cyclist lights I’ve used, the Detour light offers much better coverage and light distribution. I took a picture of a dark road to show the difference between the light being on and off, but, honestly, the photo doesn’t do it justice due to the iPhone’s image processing.
I don’t need to remove the light from its base frequently, but when I do, I don’t find it difficult to remove or install, contrary to what some other reviews mention. Additionally, I haven’t experienced the light getting hot—even after three hours of runtime, the body remains cool enough to touch.
The only negative I’ve encountered occurred last week, when the mount loosened slightly mid-ride and the light began to rotate downward. I didn’t have the correct Allen key to tighten the bolt. Since the mount is plastic, I wonder if its flexibility could cause it to loosen over time, but so far, this has been a minor issue.
Overall, I’m very pleased with the performance of this light and would recommend it to others seeking a reliable cycling light for low-light conditions.
Dropped the SOB in the mud my first time using it, doing a night race but… they work awesome and lit up that trail, in the rain, like it was a sunny afternoon.
From customer service . To design. These lights are to me top Rated pro level. Love how the fit . How they look. And mostly how they perform. Amazing!
I’m primarily using the Hangover for commuting by bike and e-scooter. It’s bright and nicely illuminates the roads and ways of my semi-rural small city and the hazards that accompany them. The flash setting is attention getting by day (unsolicited positive comments from observersI). I love how it is compact and has great battery life compared to my old light engines and brick batteries (which still work but weigh a ton by comparison). Shout out to Hush Money Bikes for the tip about this light.
Great beam pattern and very bright lights. Work perfect for my early morning runs.
I’ve had this light for a year now, and have used it around the house on the bike. When I first got it I took it out close to dusk on a trail, but there was still daylight. It’s been mounted to my bike for after the initial charge, and last night was the first night I needed it. All of my riding is in daytime hours, so I ended up riding 3 hours and an a little over an hour of that was in complete darkness. This thing was great!! I kept it on the low setting, was all I needed for the trails around here. I did stop to take a picture a little after 9pm.
Got this light to go through the pitch-black Snoqualmie. WA rail-to-trial tunnel- a 5 mi round trip- on a day when 400 other attendees were doing the same trip. Got safely though and missed all pedestrians! Great lights!
I ride after dark weekly living in the high desert of western Colorado and these lights are amazing!
