AdamA Posted February 21, 2020 Share Hi hubbers I at looking at getting a new Bike Light an am considering this: https://www.rydercycling.co.za/ryder-products/lights/900-lumen-front-detail Does any know how wide the beam is? I can't find any information on this on the interweb. I am wanting a Wide Beam for MTB night riding not a SPOT light. I have lights similar to the Marvel Pro 900 and Streak lights but I am looking for a strong Light and Battery in one. Thanks for your input.

Chadvdw67 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Bought one of those yesterday, it works pretty well, but not a very broad beam I dont think I would maybe look at this https://ride.lezyne.com/collections/led-lights-performance/products/1-led-25f-v204 instead, a little more expensive, but in hindsight I should have got this one rather It did not look as bright trying out in the shop, but I think it is because the beam is broader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your input.Go for the Ryder Light Concept 1000 rather, much broader beam than the 900. AdamA and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew_Smith Posted February 21, 2020 Share Another vote for Lezyne, the build quality is fantastic!I bought the Lite Drive 800XL from EvoBikes. Please note, I do road biking. AdamA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Savage Posted February 21, 2020 Share I have the Ryder, works a treat for the road, not sure its the correct form factor for MTB. AdamA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jensie Posted February 21, 2020 Share I am riding it on the road. I would say the spread is about 3meters approx. Great for the road, and you get extra batteries pretty easily for backup. Pure Savage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermophage Posted February 21, 2020 Share I have a Lezyne Deca Drive 1500i or something...it's great. But a lil pricey...not too bad...However, having been with someone with one of these recently, I would FAR rather recommend this.https://www.takealot.com/magicshine-mj906-combo/PLID54551596They are great and with a lil eBucks...buy 2. One for bars and one for lid and you can shred trails at night no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeisLife Posted February 21, 2020 Share What BiL said except I think he/she means the Orion 1000Nope. Orion is an older light, some shops might still have stock. I’m talking about the Ryder Light concept 1000.

AdamA Posted February 21, 2020 Share What BiL said except I think he/she means the Orion 1000 Thanks for your input, the 'Orion 1000' has an external battery the 'Ryder Light Concept 1000' has the internal ( and Replaceable ) that i am looking for.

You can get 18650 Rechargeable batteries quite easily now... i even think that i saw some on the self at Builders Warehouse the other day, they come in 3.7V and 4.2V make sure you get the correct one. https://www.takealot.com/samsung-30q-18650-3000mah/ https://www.takealot.com/samsung-inr-25r-2500-mah-18650-battery/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have lights similar to the Marvel Pro 900 and Streak lights but I am looking for a strong Light and Battery in one. Thanks for your input.I have a similar light to your Marvel Pro on my bars, and then use the Ryder 900 strapped to my helmet. The combination works well, the Ryder gives a fairly even spread, wide beam, that helps with peripheral vision, the light on the bars then lights up the path ahead. On its own, I'm not sure I'd be too confident to tackle anything technical, though for riding dirt roads at night, it is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One for bars and one for lid and you can shred trails at night no problem Thanks Thermophage, a little out of the budget range and no internal battery. I current have a similar setup with MagicShine 1000lm headlamp ( with external Bat) on my lid and and MagicShine 1000lm bar mount ( with External Bat) on my bars, I bough them about 10 years ago. The lights still work great but I am looking to simplify with the internal Batteries. Thermophage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
