Accessory brand reputed for pumps and mini-tools Lezyne has launched a first range of bicycle lighting based on the latest LED bulbs and Li-Ion batteries recharged by USB. There will be waterproof rubber-sealed alloy compartments and a 'composite matrix' bracket that fits either 31.8 or 25.4mm handlebars.
The three models are due to arrive ready for lighting-up time at the end of October, all with CNC-machined aluminium rubber o-ringed screw-cap compartments, LED bulbs and USB rechargeable Li-Ion batteries. According to Lezyne, the use of the latest 'Cree' high-efficiency LEDs combined with a cleverly-designed mirror polished parabolic reflector and front lens provide superb brightness and beam pattern.
The alloy enclosure is claimed to dissipate heat better as well as handle a high degree of wear-and-tear. Colour choices are anodised grey, black or silver. You get a USB recharging cable and there's also an optional wall plug for £19.99. Plus an optional high power 2,600Mah battery - the standard unit is 600Mah - and, yes, they are working on a helmet mount.
road.cc had a chance to play with the new Lezyne lights at the recent Mountain Mayhem event in the Malvern Hills and we have pre-production prototypes in the house now which we'll be riding over the next few weeks. You can find out more about Lezyne's new lights on UK distributor, Upgrade UK's website www.upgrade.co.uk our initial impression is that the aluminium housings are beautifully machined and the bracket works very positively with an easy-on thumb screw. Oh yeah, and they're bloomin' bright, otherwise. Stand by.

Fu** this country. Might remove the restriction on my ebike
So what this tells me is that I can ride into a ped and knock them down and it will be treated as minor. Righto
Such a lovely paintjob.
Are you perchance referencing the lack of come-uppance in cases like this?...
Either you've not been to a Costa, or you've misunderstood the "hipster" stereotype.
Same here. Along with that friggin road.cc video. I scroll and then think "shit, too far, it's got me now"....
I watched the last hour of the women's race on the BC youtube live feed. Hugely impressive solo ride by 19 year old Alice Towers, holding off...
"Careful lad, don't scratch my paint."
Woman loses bag during flight transfer doesnt have the same ring to it does it? Feel for her but not sure this was worth a Road.cc story.
There is that little button to press on the Lezyne hose to relieve the pressure before unscrewing. Not sure if it actually helps matters or is just...
