Road Bike Lights

Road riding at night has one problem the trail doesn't: everyone else on the road. Our road lights use automotive cutoff optics that put light on the pavement instead of in drivers' eyes, keeping you safer. 

  • Detour is our road and commuter headlight. Automotive optics recreate the low beam of a car: a wide, evenly lit pool of light with a cutoff that keeps oncoming traffic, pedestrians, and your group ride friendly. USB-C fast charging with pass-through means a small power bank keeps it running through brevets, double centuries, and pre-dawn commutes.
  • Blade is our rear tail light, built with the same obsession we put into headlights. Visible from wide angles, with daytime and nighttime modes and enough battery to set it and forget it for 32+ hours straight. Pairs with our seat post mount for a clean install.
  • Hangover is the lightweight helmet light that points where you look. Add it to a Detour setup for reading street signs, checking over your shoulder, and lighting the inside of corners your handlebar light can't see yet.
  • A Cutoff Beam, Not a Flashlight

    Most bike lights are flashlights in a fancy housing: a round hotspot that wastes half its output in the sky and the other half in drivers' faces. Our road lights use shaped automotive optics that spread light across the full width of the road with a controlled vertical cutoff. You see more, and nobody flashes their high beams at you. Curious how that works? We wrote up the optics in our engineering blog.

    Honest Runtimes You Can Plan Around

    The industry's FL1 standard lets a light claim “2000 lumens for 2 hours” while output quietly sags to a fraction of that. We rate our lights to hold full stated output for the entire stated runtime, so when we say 4.2 hours on medium, that's what you get at mile 90. Pass-through USB-C charging on the Detour extends that further with any off-the-shelf power bank.

    Mounts That Don't Wander

    A light that rotates on washboard pavement or nose-dives on the first pothole isn't much of a light. Our clamp-style mounts lock the beam where you aimed it, with a one-handed quick release for charging, and options for handlebars, helmets, and seat posts.

    Be Seen at Noon, Not Just Midnight

    Plenty of close calls happen in broad daylight. Detour and Blade both have dedicated daytime modes with flash patterns designed to register in a driver's peripheral vision, with runtimes long enough that you'll charge weekly, not nightly.
