Have ridden with another brand for a long time and switched to outbound lights and so happy I did. Super bright lights made me love night riding again and opened up my riding window in the shorter daylight winter months

EVO is a Fantastic light
I'm only 3 rides in, but already pulled the trigger on the Portal. Hasn't gotten here, but was so happy w/ Trail EVO. Changed night riding from an option during daylight savings time to actual fun rides including real downhill. Light is great, easy interface and button, USB charging..simple yet effective. GIve it a shot!

Great lighting, great customer service.
Outbound lighting is the best MTB lighting company I’ve ever dealt with. I run a hangover on my helmet and an Evo on the bars, it’s a great combination. I’ve been getting out after dark since the 1990s and have had a lot of lighting rigs. This is by far the best combination I’ve ever used. Their customer service is excellent also. I had a problem that was my own fault and they took care of it quickly and at no charge.
Excellent company!

Stand up crew
Losing your light is the worst. These guys made it a little less terrible. Apologies for my personal frustration but man these guys to above and beyond. Thanks again

Love these lights
I purchased the Evo Downhill Package (Evo & Hangover) 3 years ago and have loved these lights ever since. Recently I had one fail, but I did crash with it a year earlier. Outbound lights totally still covered it and sent me a new one. Talk about great customer service too. I highly recommend these lights and this company

I've had many lights over the years, Trail EVO is the best
I have had many different types, styles, vendors over the past 15 years of mountain biking and road biking. (Niterider, magicshine, Cygolite, bontrager etc...) The Trail EVO is replacing an older Magicshine MJ-816 which was riders called the Mickey Mouse light because of the configuration of two separate flood LEDs above a spot beam that resembled the outline of Mickey Mouse. That light was my go to handlebar light and had about 55 mins of runtime at high setting. I needed a replacement and since it is discontinued (for many years) I started looking at the Trail EVO. It took me a few weeks to pull the trigger because I was reluctant to replace something that I knew worked well for me but I did. And OH MY GOSH, the Trail EVO has exceeded my expectations in not only the much wider spread but I have been finishing my 75 min mtn bike rides with ~75% power left! I no longer am managing the power (turning low going uphill, deciding when I can go to high setting when going down or around corners)... It changes the whole ride where I can only focus on ripping through the trails and not manage my power usage. AND I am no longer needing to strap a battery to the frame. I would tell anyone who loves Night Riding as much as I do to get the Trail EVO for your handlebar mount and you won't be disappointed!
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.
