Really, disappointed with this light. I had the previous version and was looking for a replacement after losing it, however that model is discontinued, so I bought this one. Cateye are great for the actual performance of their lights, but this one scores a major own goal because of the handlebar fixing. It is a rubber ring which cannot be detached from the light, NOT the perfectly functional clip-in, slide on / slide off type. The rubber hoop device may suit some but where it fails badly; 1. If you have old-fashioned bar diameter, you cannot make the band tight enough. 2. If you have modern 31.8 mm bars YOU STILL CANT MAKE IT TIGHT ENOUGH. It may be OK for you if you ride on perfectly flat roads, but I bought this to go on road and bumpy gravel tracks (why would it be called XC?), and as soon as you hit the rough stuff, the light slips round the bars and nose dives. And finally 3. If its cold and wet and you need to either remove or fit this after leaving your bike outside, good luck with the faffing around trying to hook the clip to the rubber. So all in all, a real disappointing effort by Cateye. I really wish I'd returned it, but too late now. My advice would be avoid, unless you are using it ontop of handlebar tape or some other fabric bar cover. Because if you fit it directly to bare metal bars, you'll spend most of your journey adjusting the angle of it after every pothole you hit.Read full review

Have owned a number of Cateye lights over the years. On unpacking this one no clamp to fit to handlebar just a flimsy stretch band, interesting to see how long it lasts. Also a small lens so a narrow beam at best but might be reasonable as a 2nd flashing light. Road Test: The lamp does not remain in one position and is easily displaced .Will now need to invest in a better primary front light. Would I recommend it to others to buy? No

Bought this as I commute to work along some very dark lanes. It is extremely bright and is of excellent quality. The battery seems to last a long time too and it’s really handy being able to charge it via usb. Highly recommended.

An excellent little front light for your bike. It's small and light and fits perfectly on the handlebar. Gives plenty of light for the night rider. Also an excellent choice for the city riders with not one but two flashing modes. Pros: - compact and lightweight - very good value - very good battery life Cons: - only comes with short rubber band - long rubber band is optional (at a cost)
