Product news: Top 10: The best trail lamps for the dark season?

12 November 2018 by the editorial office

Accessories: The golden autumn still invites you for one or the other trip into the local forests and trails, but the days are short. So either the tour is to start early and you just help. With the help of trail lamps you simply turn night into day, but there are many on the market and they couldn't be more different. We have put together seven lamps for you that may be worth a closer look.

 

Top trail lights: BBB Scope 1500



Small, light and lots of accessories. The standard scope of delivery of the Scope 1500 from BBB includes helmet and handlebar mounts, as well as an extension cable that allows the battery to be stowed on the frame, on the helmet or in the backpack without restricting freedom of movement. The 3200mAh strong battery is large enough for a leisurely ride at night or early in the morning. The 1500 lumen strong XML CREE LEDs are cooled by the aluminum cooling fins of the housing.

Price: € 199

Top trail lamps: Busch and Müller Ixon Space

The special feature of the Busch and Müller IXON Space is definitely the clear light/dark boundary and the associated road traffic approval. The Ixon Space is the perfect addition to the helmet lamp on the handlebars. This not only perfectly illuminates the line of sight, but also the direction of travel. Thanks to the integrated battery, there is no tangle of cables in the cockpit.

Price: € 199
