The headlight and rear light are StVZO-approved and are each mounted on the bike using a Velcro strap. This works well - although the front light only fits on handlebars with a round tube cross-section, i.e. not on aerobars. In our test, it took just under three hours (headlight) or almost four hours (rear light) to fully recharge the battery. At the highest light level, this is enough for two and a half (front) and three and a half (rear) hours of lighting power. The front light (140 lumens according to the manufacturer) shines relatively homogeneously for around 30 metres, although the close range remains somewhat darker.
Compared to the models in our latest light test (TOUR 10/2022) the headlight is only half as bright - so some obstacles on the road can only be recognised late. The rear light is clearly visible from all sides. Both lights are switched with a sealed push button. The indicator for the front light is difficult to see from the side, and the battery level indicator is only roughly visible - only with a little practice can you judge when you are in the dark.
