The light beam is relatively small and point-shaped, but the light intensity is sufficient to brightly illuminate the road even at a distance of 20 metres. This pleases the growing community of "night riders", who also enjoy sporty cycling in autumn and winter. One disadvantage is the high glare effect of the "light cannon", which unfortunately does not have road approval. The manufacturer claims a battery life of five hours, but in our practical test, the two lithium-ion cells with a capacity of 4,800 mAh only provided power for three hours at full light output. Compared to the competition, the Force Flow light is relatively inexpensive at 189 euros. The handlebar bracket from Cateye is available for different handlebar sizes. Including the holder, the light weighs 282 grams.
