Lezyne Micro Drive Led Front Light

There are two key things to avoiding ditches on the road. One is technique and other is a bright light. While we can teach you much about technique we want to shed 200 lumens worth of light on front lights. The Lezyne Micro Drive!

It comes in a well crafted aluminium case and offers a side visibility design that allows for 180 degrees of visibility. It comes with a silicon rubber strap that allows it to fit on a variety of handle bar sizes. The Micro Drive charges quickly via USB port and is tucked in to its back. Right off the bat, it is simply bright and has three modes it offers this brightness in including a flash mode. The on-off switch doubles up as a charge indicator. The downside however is the Li-ion battery that powers the Micro Drive is not replaceable. With the light lasting almost hours on one single charge, we are sure that is no reason for concern.

The handling, smoothness, speed and all-round agility of the basic bike still make it a real blast for technical trail riding though, and it’s a great base for upgrading over time.
