The Best MTB Lights You Can Buy? || Outbound Lighting EVO DH Package

[@ilovebagiou7174]

Both lights can be hooked to a battery pack to extend the runtimes.

so a temporary fix for the cables would be velcro strips from harbor freight...

Currently, I think the Evo is the best bike specific light on the market Within the month, it'll be over taken by Full on Lighting MB6 (both can use both together) I never cared for the hangover, rather have a Infun GT200 on helmet or a king kong But staying within the outbound brand, I'd go Evo/portal

Great video.. keep em coming.

Thank you!

I use the cheaper-looking Suron-style ones on mine. They were out before the Sur Ron, but they seem to have adopted it for their bikes now! The long five-LED I got with all different beams and a cool LED running strip at the bottom like Audis have is nice, but I had to buy a second, smaller version with the three-LED and strip LED running light as five was just too bright, lol! They last for ages and charge from a power bank if need be, never had to do this as yet, For £25 bucks, their amazing lights! the Magicshine 7000 is an amazing single light that might be better for the helmet! I can't stand a heavy helmet as it is, never mind a light up there causing more of a bobblehead effect whats the proce tag on these look expensive but then so do the ones i run and there not?

Can you do a review on the lezyne 2400 plus light

[@UmunhumCycleworks]

I'll look into it!

[@agnieszkawildhirt1353]

Thought you are a bigger creator from the quality of the video.

[@UmunhumCycleworks]

Thank you! Working on it!

[@drwheycooler8423]

You are REALLY living dangerously with that garmin mounted like that!!!

[@UmunhumCycleworks]

How would you mount it?

[@Saxtoo]

£405.80 if you're living in Britain 😮 Right!

[@UmunhumCycleworks]

Yup, not cheap... Really impressive lights though!

1000 lumen on the helmet and 2200 lumen on the bar is both often overkill and often it will give the impression you are riding into your own shadow,.. Eyes adapt to the amount of light available, a bit like the auto exposure from a camera, just not as fast, certainly to nightvision. If you are rding alone or with people with about the same amount of light 3000 lumen is plenty except for enduro or downhill. If the people around you use much stronger lights your eyes adapt to the brightest spots and you hardly see where you are riding,.. I don't think everybody needs the magicshine 12000 lumens but i had to upgrade from a 3000 lumen bar and 1500 lumen helmet to 8000 lumen bar and 4000 lumen helmet because a was riding in my own shadow again,... i can ride with people with 10000- 15000 lumens without riding in my own shadow, i can shred and without increasing the difficulty to much but i can also dim the light on easy roads or with people with less powerful lights,.. Plenty of A brands have combo's in the same pricerange with more or much more output,..

[@MichaelRobibaro]

Lumens and perceived brightness doesnt mean crap, beam pattern And usable illumination. Is more important. Outbound trail will outperform a high lumen round beam in those respects, I got the beam shots to prove it.

[@kanaalvanNI]

​@MichaelRobibaro beam pattern is important but there are quite a few lights on the market that have a decent beam pattern. For me the outbound evo has a pretty narrow (as in to narrow) beam for mountainbiking. Brands like lupine started to focus on the combination of a clear cuttoff on the road with a decent flood offroad quite a while ago after they mastered a decent flood,... A rather narrow beam like on the evo means that you need an additional headlight even on pretty easy trails. The magicshine monteer has a much wider beam and has no hotspots, on normal nightrides i often use it without helmet light. the low, 2400 lumens setting of the 8000s is in general enough but sometimes, on more enduro style rides, 8000 lumens makes a huge difference. On enduro style rides I do add a helmet light, I like the lights to be redundant. The 4000 lumens moh55 that I use as a helmet light probably still has an a bit wider beam compared to the evo,.. If a stick or stone kills a light I should be able to continue in a safe way,.. An integrated package is convenient but immediately verry heavy on the bar/ helmet, so as a manufacturer you need to limit the light output and if you want to keep some throw you need to limit the lit area. A ride next to someone with a monteer feels like you are riding in a tunnel just like the evo gives the guy with the flashlight the impression he is riding in a tunnel,... Batteries can't stand the heat so you need to ventilate the light and cut the output rather quick, batteries also have issues with the cold,... the 400 gram battery pack on the frame and/ or in the backpack really doesn't bother on an enduro ride. I do like all in one units on the hardtail/ gravelbike as 2500 lumen is overkill for those rides, but I do want a clean cuttoff for a light that I use a lot on the road,..

[@MichaelRobibaro]

@@kanaalvanNI sounds like you're either bullshitting or mistaking the evo for their crappy hang over I have the EVO and the 8k They're virtually the same width, just Evo is more diffused and monteer is more concentrated.. The MB6 is wider than both Now the Monteer 12k is wider than the EVO but again..Monteer is more concentrated and washed out trail details...kind of like what a helmet light does compared to a bar light. As for weight on handle bar, it's not noticeable during ride I run a DIY setup with two automotive off-road Amber pods along with a 8ah bosh core tool battery on fork(for rigid fat bike.. or sometimes an M18 5ah On my other bikes it's mounted to water bottle cage area. Where as the Monteer 8k and Evo have a 127gram difference..

[@MichaelRobibaro]

@@kanaalvanNI do you also negate to tell or understand thermo overload protection and how over powered round beams like the magicshine Monteer lineup drop lumens significantly ? even ravemans new xr6000 headlight does it, but they do in better steps I simply test lights either by purchase, borrow from friends, or via light manufacturer. 2 things makes me take your response with a grain of salt..staring EVO is narrow, and that magic shine doesn't have a hot spot ..even their new 12k Monteer still has a hot spot One doesn't even was to own one to see they have hot spots, you can see it any any beam shot posted or video posted. Also price range what light did you mentioned in the same range as the Evo (249) Monteer lights are 380-500 range Glow worm is more expensive as many others, her put out less usable light even though they have more lumens...only MS Monteer that's less$ is the 3500 which puts out less usable light than the EVO

[@kanaalvanNI]

​@@MichaelRobibaroI get the feeling you are paid to comment on youtube to sell lights,.. I would like to see the beamshot of the monteer 8000 vs the evo, with the evo I had a hard time riding without helm light, with the 8000 i rarely have the feeling I need a helmet light,... but I only tested the evo,.. never bought it so i can't make a beamshot now. Anyways, it was a pisspoor amount of light compared to the other lights in the group. If we were in the year 2016 it would have been a great light, but it's 2024, it makes little sense to buy a new light and ride in your own shadow or buy a light without cutoff if it serves a lot on the road. I don't like bulky lights on the bar or the helmet, I didn't like the monteer 12000 for its bulckyness and it felt overkill but it has a sturdy dual clamp mount so it doesn't move. The evo with one clamp did move because the light is to heavy/ the torque to big for the clamp. The monteer 8000 is probably 100 gram lighter and any standard garmin mount seems to hold the light steady, even on carbon bars where you don't want to just torque some more,... Your thermal throttle comment,.. really? At 2400 lumens the 8000s doesn't thermal throttle, it gets warm, probably to warm for a healthy battery life but not to warm for the electronics,... At full power the monteer needs some airflow to keep running full power but that's about 3x the amount of light and way less thermal mass,.. The evo seemed to dim on max brightness srtting, when it was already the poor light,.. but maybe it dims for other reasons like battery life even out of addaptive mode? Battery life would also be to short on a lot of trips,..
