Detour Bike Light

The light is bright and has a nice beam pattern. The button is easy to press and the simple battery indicator is functional and easy to see. The passthrough charging is definitely a plus for me for bike packing.
Unfortunately, the mount it comes with doesn't fit a lot of road bike handlebars as they are not round. I wish I didn't have to pay another 20$ for a piece of plastic in order to mount it to my bike. I'm not sure what the best solution would be, but my hangover light came with different mounts for different helmets. Maybe an option to select the mount type when you order it?

I didn’t use my detour for about a year. It would not charge. I sent it in and was sent what appeared to be a new one. They paid the postage both ways

Love the bracket - the form factor is good but not great. Would prefer rounded edges with a flush mounted "hood" and no or more subtle branding. Taped the orange logo over. The light does what it should - would like the beam to be a little cleaner - lots of detail in the pattern instead of a clean spread. Overall very good. Love the pass through.

the good:
- the light beam pattern is great - there are small streaks of dark in the beam pattern but I don't view that as an issue
- it lights up the right areas
the "bad": (these are comparative nitpicks)
- the white of the power button is already wearing off after two rides
- mount is tighter than expected
- light is "dim" compared to other bright bike spot lights - because the area this isn't really an issue but having be a bit brighter would be nice
and a feature request:
- having this connect up to a bike computer via ant+ would be great assuming that's not super expensive/proprietary added cost. especially if I undersling it on a mount out front I feel like that would just make the ergonomics nicer

overall, great light with no real issues but also expensive enough that it warrants critique for not being perfect

I’ve been a daily bike commuter for >10 years and I regularly go on long rides (gravel and road) on weekends. I’ve used multiple combinations of various lights over the years, most recently switching between a Niterider and Cygolite. Each has its pros (bright, multiple modes, lightweight) and cons (poor mounting, heavy, blinding to on coming traffic). I have been using the Detour light mounted with the action camera mount for the past 3 weeks. It has been great so far and combines the pros of my other lights without so much of the cons. The mount is solid, the quick release is secure. Some reviews have dinged it for being more finicky than expected but I have found it to be no more so than my other lights, just different. It has tight tolerance so there’s no disconcerting rattle. The cutoff beam works well. Again some feel disappointed that it is not as sharp as they expected but in my opinion it does the job well. To me the cutoff doesn’t have to look like a clear laser cut line on a wall; it works as intended. I also like the wide beam pattern (better than my lights or those of other commuters I see). I really appreciate the thoughtful day and night commuter patterns. I highly recommend.

they are the only lights i need. quality design and user experience. i recommend these lights to everone i know.
