With the summer ending around the corner, this is a good time to prep and have your gear ready for evening rides. Don’t let the time change deter you from your normal rides after work or riding routine. If you don’t have a light, go out and get yourself the Aurora Elite, by Marwi. (If you already have a light, the Elite is an outstanding second unit).
This is one lighting unit that I would recommend. Small in size, yet packs a punch that that will brighten up your trails. I’ve had a chance to use this unit on a handful of night rides. Sometimes as a solo unit (handlebar mounted) and sometimes as a secondary helmet mounted light. (Note that the Elite is packaged as a helmet light, the handlebar mount is available, but sold separately.)
Other than super bright beam that the LED produces, the other stand out is the impressive battery life. I’ve used the Elite on several rides with only one charge. Our normal rides ranges from 1-1.5 hrs.
