About the Detour Bike Headlight
Most bike headlights are flashlights with a handlebar strap: a round hotspot that lights up the sky, the trees and the eyes of whoever is coming the other way. Detour is built the way a car's low beam is. You get a wide, even spread of light from your front tire out to where you're looking, with a sharp cutoff at the top so drivers, other riders and people on foot aren't blinded.
We come from automotive lighting, so the beam came first, and we fine tuned the heck out of it. We also added sidemarker lights, much like on cars, so you're visible from the side too.
No battery pack and no wires. Everything is inside the light: about 1,200 lumens, USB-C charging with pass-through so a power bank keeps it running, 150 g, and slim enough to fit in your pocket.
We've incorporated our quick-release fiberglass-reinforced nylon mount that we, ahem, “borrowed” from those clever camera guys to keep everything pointing in the right direction and easy to put on and take off with one hand.
We do have a custom mount solution to fit underneath most bike computers for that clean and tucked look, as well as non-round handlebars: Quick Release Action Camera Adapter
Detour is the road and gravel pick in our bike headlights lineup. Headed for the trail instead? That's Trail Evo . Pair Detour with the Blade tail light for the full road setup.
Proudly and capably made just down the road in Chicago IL.
