Curious to know if the lens on the Trail EVO can be swapped out for a clear lens?????
Hey Andre, we responded to your email about this the day you sent it, but it seems that didn't go through, we'll figure that out shortly. In the mean time: currently we don't have swappable lenses, as we put a lot of effort into designing them each from scratch for very specific use cases. Future products may allow for some tunability for personal preference, but we didn't want to overcomplicate the product or the assembly with a feature that is rarely requested, if that makes sense. The vertical ribs on the front of the current clear lens are blended very deliberately to give the beam a wide, even spread, without those features it would be a very spotty beam, not ideal for handlebar use for most riders.

Best Light I have ever used!
I've been a cyclist for MANY years (road racing since the 70's!), and mainly ride at o-dark thirty before work. I've used pretty much all of the rest, and now I have found the best.
Build quality is unbelievable. Hardware is secure, and feels very robust. Light pattern is so uniform through the lit area, no hot spots, just even lighting.
Met and talked to their designer at the Sea Otter Classic, had to try them. So glad I did!

The best bike related purchase I've made
Can't begin to explain:
a) How great the light is. Even in it's lowest setting it illuminates everything and the pass-through charging, with the super handy 90 degree usb lead, means I've never had to worry about it dying on me during long overnight rides
b) How great the company is. Top notch customer service that you only ever get from companies that actually care about their product and customers

These lights are sick
Solid performance for an 18-hour race. Strong battery, strong illumination. Solidly built.

Not lite on customer service
Folks,
I received a trail evo and hangover combo for Christmas a couple of years ago and have been blinding other trail users along the way with glee. Well the trail evo started having an issue with not charging. I sent a quick message to the team and after they received my old light a new one was delivered. Man what a great experience. This updated version with some new neat logo features is now blinding everyone who dares to glance my way. Its a great feeling to incapacitate others so you can slowly grind past them. Haha ride on!☠️

Superb lights
I bought both the Trail Evo and the Detour lights, in December 2024. I have been using the Trail Evo since then for my mtb rides. I ride in afternoon and in almost all of my winter rides I return with completely dark sky. I have been using a fenix BC26R bike light before the Trail Evo. It has enough lumens (max 1600lumens), with good throw, a relatively wide beam but its battery life is short. I chose the Trail Evo and Detour because engineers design and build the lights (look at mtbr forums), which is for me amazing (I am an engineer too) and of the good reviews. Well. The Trail Evo is amazing. It throws the light far away, it has a bright, even, super wide beam with a good neutral white colour. The light turns the night into day. It makes easily the way safe for speeds of 45km/h (for example in fire roads). The battery lasts as long as it promises, which is long and the adaptive mode works well. In the pictures you can see the super wide, long throw of the Trail Evo during a night descent.
Detour is a very nice light. I use it in the city, with a wide, long throw and a superior cut off beam.
I love them!
Mind blowing, incredible, and game changing are a few of the words used to describe how seamless and bright the Trail Evo beam pattern is.
The Bike Light Evolution:
When we launched the Trail Edition back in 2017 it was a game changer for bike lights.
A beam pattern specifically designed for trail riding with a wide evenly illuminated distribution. However it required an external battery pack, and we had lots of customers wanting to go wireless.
So we took the best parts of Trail, and evolved it into the Trail Evo. Bringing a long lasting, even brighter, even wider beam pattern to your handlebars, without any external cords.
Advanced Optical Engineering
When we developed Evo’s beam pattern, we knew we could go wider and brighter, so we redefined our illumination goals, target candela points, beam angles, and then went to work simulating, testing, prototyping and developing the most seamless pattern we've built to date.
The extreme width is thanks to the finely tuned blended Total Internal Reflection (TIR) optics. Hundreds of simulations with Lucidshape software let us squish, squeeze, stretch and shape the light to hit that perfect balance of peak brightness, smooth falloff and insane peripheral coverage.
Check the slider comparison below to see the difference between a fine tuned optical instrument such as Trail Evo vs a name-brand light that has been around for years. The difference is staggering in person.
Go further.
Ride longer.
Explore more.
See that sunset from the mountaintop, not the parking lot thanks to long runtimes, USB-C pass through charging and a dose of quality engineering.
Headlight.
Not a Flashlight.
You wouldn't drive a car with a flashlight strapped to your hood. Why do the same with your bike? Trail Evo is a proper automotive grade headlight designed to be front and center on your handlebars.
Cold Weather?
No Problem!
Innovative engineering keeps more heat in the batteries compared to competitors; letting you ride longer even in the coldest weather.
No wires.
No Mess.
Clean and simple.
Say goodbye to bulky battery packs, hanging wires, zipties, and rubber bands holding your lights on your handlebar.
Rock Solid Mounting
A good light isn’t so good if it’s bouncing up and down on all the time. That’s why we made a bolt-on clamp mount for Evo. It’s solidly locked to the bar and the beam won’t shake around like lights with rubber strap mounts do.
It's an easy one-handed quick-release process to pop Trail Evo off post-ride to charge.
Refreshingly Simple
Few people read instruction manuals, even fewer want to, so we keep our lights dead simple so that you don’t need an advanced degree to remember a complicated sequence of button presses get to the mode you want.
Thermally Engineered
High power bike lights get hot, that is why we use our engineering prowess to keep them cool. Utilizing another industry first, we collect air through a scoop underneath the light, and pass it through the light, cooling all nine LED's that are spread apart to balance the heat load.
USB-C Pass-Thru Charging
We were one of the first to offer USB-C charging as standard, except we took it a step further by offering pass-through charging as well. This lets you plug in any USB power bank and charge the light while in use, in any mode. Game changer for 24 hour races and extra long night rides!
Lead the ride,
light the way.
Incredible performance means you’ll be the one out front on that next group ride.
