Time to go NIGHT RIDING. Magicshine MJ-906S Bike light review.

I put the Magicshine MJ-906S bike light through its paces on a night ride at Riverhead forest. I try the light in three different mounted positions and even try some mountain bike jumping in the dark.

Nice review. Good having real usage and not just a show and tell. Also, impressive riding at night 👍

[@bluestraycat]

I love night riding, it really does add a whole new dimension to your riding. I'd love to see the Dad's Army crew out for a night ride!

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Hopefully we can make that happen.

[@Fastfreddyii]

Great review. I think you may well have convinced me what to buy. Ovr here in the UK it's now dark by 5pm and stays that way until around 7am. If I want to ride during our winter, I'm going to need a decent light.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

In next week's video I am giving away one of those lights plus they are having discounts for black Friday so may pay to watch video.

[@MikeTuckerStrachan]

Thanks heaps Lance, my eyesight is also not the best, so I'm with you on the light in the Forrest issues. Mates do night rides and I've always thought that my eyesight would be an issue, but you've sold me on giving it a go thank you 👍

[@bestdayevermtb2]

It honestly seemed easy to see as ground is uniformly lit. If you fancy a light it would be great if you used the link in the video description.

[@mycoolcar]

Great intro!

[@nomaddict5279]

Really helpful video! Thank you! Just ordered one of these.

[@jmerodgers]

Had to sort through about 5 other reviews of this light until i found a good one. Yours! Good angles are key, I like to put the powerful light on the bar and the less powerful one on the helmet. best of both worlds i think...

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Thanks very much. Glad it was helpful.

[@Greyarcher1]

Thanks For that! Now i need to do it myself it was almost two years ago,but man its FUN! I actually got me a'camera so i can film my Riding here in Sweden where we have summer now,its on my site if you want to se how it looks on the other side of the Planet 😉 i actually mention you and your site in the Film 🤠

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Watched your riding with your new camera. Are they mtb tracks or just walking trails. At least it is not raining. I am so fed up with the rain here.

[@Greyarcher1]

@@bestdayevermtb2 Mostly NOT MTB tracks, there is only a' few designated MTB Tracks, and i like this kind of Adventure Riding not knowing where i end up, what kind of movie program do you use for your films? I have problems joining together al the short clips the camera makes,what resolution do you film in? The Raign i hate that shit but you dont have the cold weather we have here in the winter that really is Bad,take care Man.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

@@Greyarcher1 I use davinci resolve. It is free but very good. I use 1080. Plan to go 4k but computer won't edit 4k. Not grunty enough.

[@Greyarcher1]

@@bestdayevermtb2 1080p seems ok cos your films are good enough, but now that i can film in 4K would be NICE to do it ,thank you for the tip i will se if i can down Load that Program and try it out,take care Man 🤠

[@defyent]

I’ve had a magic shine for about 6 months now, great product and great company. They immediately helped me out and replaced my unit when it had an issue. Also good meeting you at woodhill today !

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I am really happy with my light. Looking forward to using it more.

[@robertdemanser6757]

Looks like a lot of fun can't wait to see you ride nights with dads army awesome!

[@sjaan7370]

My favorite spot to mount my light is on the top of the visor(if your helmet allows). Definitely can get away with running just one light on the helmet, but if it ever disconnects/failed at speed you'll wish you were running two 😉

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Yes I guess that is the advantage of two lights. No light in the middle of the forest could be interesting.

[@lemonadejars]

Love night riding!

[@SeppBrezel]

Nice review Lance. Have a simular Magicshine, but one the helmet and a ceeper china bomber on the handlebar. But please think about your safety. Driving alone when its dark around you is very risky. The speed rating is different than to daylight.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Probably wasn't the smartest thing to do but was keen to get video made. Had given clear instructions to my wife about where I was exactly.

[@jasemaxable]

Great vid waahoo

[@cartsmusic]

I've got MJ-900S and it's been great. I am sure MJ-906S is even better. Night riding is so awesome.

[@murrayfountain7254]

I have just invested in a Boss light for some after work night rides here in Rotorua. Absolutely love it so far. Wallabies and Possum every where 😃.Looking forward to seeing some more night rides from you and the boys, maybe in Rotorua sometime 😁😁

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Would be cool to ride at Rotorua at night. How about Dad's Army rides Cutties at night?

[@finlayson]

I'm not a big fan of night riding, but that looked like lots of fun. One advantage of riding at night in pine forests like Riverhead is that you're less likely to run over any kiwi there 🙂

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Wouldn't want to run a kiwi over.

[@jokermtb]

Having done a bunch of 12 & 24 hr mtb racing (and night riding) back in the 90's and 00's, the lighting systems were quite awful (yellow and weak, short burn times). Recently got a modern self contained (battery in the light housing) LED helmet light similar to the Magic Shine (lots of my buddies run magic shine lights too), and I can't believe how much better these newer lights are.....

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I agree. You would do one lap with a light then it would die half way through the second lap. I remember one year having a motor bike battery on my back. Would be cool to do with good lights

[@jokermtb]

@@bestdayevermtb2 worst part about it all was those lead batteries were so HEAVY!!!!

[@jeremyharris4415]

Your new night riding lights look fantastic. I have not been out night riding since about 2006 on the day and night thriller in Taupo . You should do a video in wood hills with all the new tracks out there. Looking forward to watching your next video mate

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I used to love those races. They were so popular they sold out. Will try to make one at Woodhill.

[@AB-NZ]

Enjoyed this vid. Great work. have enough problems riding in full daylight lol. I imagine night riding (let’s not go there with the innuendos) increases the difficulty grade of the trails by about one??

[@bestdayevermtb2]

It does bring a whole new dimension to riding that is for sure. It is cool though as the tracks seem very different at night.

[@grantmckinnon2300]

Awesome that they provide a cable to connect to bikes battery, it looks like the bosch cable? You will need to take your bike into store to get them to activate your light function in the firmware to use it though, and depending on what bike ya have it can be a pain to route the cable through the down tube!

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I think it would be a great option for a commuter bikes. Not sure I would want more cables permanently on the mtb.

[@grantmckinnon2300]

@@bestdayevermtb2 Its not too bad depending on the Bike, almost all the cabling should be hidden in the frame, so it can look quite tidy...mind you I went for a wireless rear shifter partially to remove more of the cable clutter off my bars sooooo :p

[@doctorpc4x4]

I cant decide whether under the chin or visor is my favorite. Think you might have cracked riding in the dark and you didn't crash

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Thanks for that. Must go for a longer night ride.

[@wbee01]

Hey Lance great vid mate, light looks awesome. I am keen to find out what helmet you use and if you like it. I cant seem to find a good full face that is comfortable light and cooling. Can you let me know please your thoughts on your helmet. Thanks Burto.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

@@bestdayevermtb2 thanks Lance checked the video and have ordered the helmet. Couldnt get it from Bikelab they had no stock. Cheers, Burto

[@KlimChugunkin888]

Как по мне,то слишком узкий луч для ближнего света, мне например нравится информативная заливка светом градусов 170 -разумеется кастомный,ибо такой ширины луча от штатного не встречал.

[@sachinedwin9530]

Great content Lance!!!, I have a question for you. Where did you get your chin mount from? NZ or online

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I just made it myself with a drill some cable ties and a go pro mount.

They’re well priced compared to Gloworm’s!

They do seem like a good quality light that will last. So much better than what we used in back in the day. You were doing well to get about 45min of average light.
