Add a Light & Motion Urban 700 for your helmet. Having lights high and low
off road is very helpful.

I think there are several good lights available. And good lights are
expensive. I've been very happy with a Cygolite that I got on closeout.
I'll add my concurrence with the recommendation to use a helmet light in
addition to a stem mounted light.
I've seen lots of cool things riding around Mt
Mike I read through all the posts to see if anyone mentioned the Supernova
and of course you did. That's the light I'm going with. Incidentally, when
used to MTB at night I'd run three lights two on the handle bars and a
helmet mounted one...it's the way to go.

that's why the helmet light is essential for the hike-a-bike and other
direction look times.
A lot of 24 hr MTB racers use the Supernova lights. Not as focused as the
Son lights but better for off-road trals where you don't have on-coming
cars and such..

My concern with a dyno hub system off-road would be that at very low speeds
(stopping to jump over a log, climbing a steep stretch of trail, etc.), the
light will either go out or become very dim. At low speeds/stops, modern LED
lights have a "standlight" that stays on, but it's much dimmer than
I think you're right, Jim. Probably a dyno-hub road light plus a
helmet-mounted broad light is the answer.
Just using a road light and nothing else off-road has one nasty
pitfall. Road lights have a height cutoff so as not to blind oncoming
vehicles. That's fine, because roads don't have tree bran
For off-road (and on-road), it's really hard to beat the combination of a
stem and helmet mounted setup. The specific problem with off-road is that
periodically, your bicycle may not be pointed in the direction you need to
see. I've found that balancing the power is most helpful. Depending on
I also think B&M Cyo lights will do nicely. These are designed for fork
crown mounting and probably should stay in that area. Pair this with a
helmet light and you should see well.
