I've recently installed and run this light on my 2021 giant tcr with the aero seat post. One thing to note that was not clear to me when I made this purchase is that the seat post mount that comes with the blade can not be mounted to an aero seat post like the tcr has. I swear I read all the information on the outbound site before placing my order but I didn't realize it only supported round seat posts. Anyways I ordered a compatible mount through sheehy, and the fit is excellent. I'll keep putting the light through its paces but so far so good.
The Blade tail light is all it is advertised to be and appears to be very rugged and a quality build. I have only used it on a few daylight rides on my gravel bike but one of them included a fairly long section of rugged single track with no issues whatsoever. I am impressed and happy to pair it with my Outbound headlights for the darkness ahead.
Well worth the price. I have been using the Blade for commuting for about a month now. I have found it convenient to use (4 modes is just right - not too many or too few). I have been very impressed with the nighttime visibility. I appreciate the easy mechanism for removal/mounting since it allows be to conveniently take the light with me when parking my bike to avoid it getting stolen. It has held up fine in water.
I have an ICE trike and the mount for my new blade sets the blade's axis horizontal. Maybe someday you will offer a vertical or horizontal mount although in my case the Blade would be upside down to clear my rack mounted bag.
This is not terribly surprising to me. We designed Blade for bicycles and the stock mount is for standard round seatposts, which your recumbent tricycle does not have, so between that, the rack-mounted bag, and thin headrest tubing, we don't have a stock option for mounting in the box with Blade. Saw another review you posted and it looks like the optional accessory from ICE to convert the headrest tubing to a larger diameter allowed our mount to work though, so that's good!
Works great! I had one issue I had to warranty. The charger port cover fell off. They sent me a new shell that's designed better and it fits perfectly! Otherwise the light has worked great! I'd recommend it to everyone! I've got the detour headlight and blade for my gravel/road bike and the portal helmet light and trim Evo for my mountain bike. They're all phenomenal! Good products! Awesome and painless warranty as well!
I am biased, as very happy road bike costumer. I have the Detour ( and the hangover, which I add for night). Those lights are great, and customer service is fast, generous, and helpful.
So when i saw this light became available, I wondered if I should get this to either add to or replace my Varia. I reached out to Jason at customer service, who kindly pointed out their light has a long battery life, and is simply a well made light.That weekend, on a long ride, the Varia ran out of charge.
So I got the Blade, and have figuratively not looked back. ( I do have two spurcycle mirrors). Having used the radar for 6-7 years ( and experiencing batteries that loose charge or of the usb port falls), it has also been freeing to not distracted by the radar noise, with the confidence that I have a bright light, ( and have those nifty mirrors).
So I definately can recommend this has hopefully the last rear light I will buy for long time.
