I was skeptical, really... a $250 handlebar lamp when I can buy a cheap no-name product on Amazon that boasts 10 million lumens.
As it turns out, there is a difference, a HUGE difference.
Outside of a whole new bike, this is probably the second most significant upgrade I have made to my mountain bike setup in years (first being a dropper post). The coverage and quality of light of this lamp is awesome. Paired with a decent helmet spot torch, your early morning or late night riding is just on a different level.
The other thing I must comment on is the thoughtfulness and quality of the build. The light is extremely well built with high quality materials (it's basically a hunk of nicely crafted aluminum). Some thoughtful touches
- The mount has a clever notched tilt mechanism that means you don't need to over torque to maintain the leveling
- Easy and secure disconnect mechanism between the light and mount
- A touch interface that is about as simple as it gets so you can change it on the fly
- USB-C charge port, with a nice rubber cover. Be honest, how many cheap bike batteries have you tossed because they use some bespoke Chinese charge plug that you either cant find or are too lazy to research for a replacement.
- Integrated battery so you don't need to run cables to frame mounted battery
- No excessive packaging and plastic, so your neighbors (and wife) can't or at least shouldn't scowl at you as you take your trash to the street
Buy it, its worth it.

Outbound Trail Evo
Had an Amazon special on my bike before this…Amazon light was ok, but there’s no comparison between the two. Yes you can get cheaper that works….but when you experience a really good light which the Evo is there’s no going back. They just need a tail light to go with it…!

The light of day
I used a few of the EVO’s and Hangover’ on a big Red Bull Project. I mounted them on the underside of airplane wings. The lights lit up the wings perfect during the eclipse and helped make the epic shot possible.

The best balance!
This light does it all! It is very bright, great run times and fare in weight with no cables.

Almost Perfect
i have had this light for two years now, 15 000+ kilometers it's nearly perfect, fantastic pattern, intensity, integrated package, the only piece missing is a remote, for those rare moments when you go into a tunnel, or you want to warn someone. another nice option would be a matching battery pack for really long night rides. (but you can "make your own" using a battery pack + USB cable), less practical.
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.
