LEZYNE Micro Drive Pro 800XL Light

Product Information

With two LEDs sat side by side, the Micro Drive Pro 800XL emits a wide central beam with a large-coverage diffused light surrounding it. With its impressive 800 lumen output and eight light output modes, as well as its flexible mounting strap and adjustable settings, it offers an unbeatable combination of convenience, visibility, and durability to this entry-level bike light. It features a lightweight, durable machined aluminium body with integrated cooling fins and cut-outs for 180° of front visibility.

Talking of rotation, the other practical bonus of the setup is that it’s easily adjusted on the fly. Although I like the idea of having two separate cycles available, I'm not sure the combination of modes is right. With 11 output modes and a 57 hour max runtime, there's an option for every setting and ride length—day or night.

I found this twist useful when adding my Garmin to the cockpit; I could twist the light temporarily to engage my Edge and then turn it back to a central position.

The Lezyne Micro Drive Pro 800XL Front Light is a powerful front light which is bright enough for riding on poorly lit roads thanks to the impressive 800 lumen output from the dual LED's. He possesses an in-depth knowledge of bicycle mechanics, as well as bike fit and coaching qualifications. I prefer the 400-lumen Blast mode, which is enough on familiar roads (plus, knowing I have four hours to play with is more comforting). It's followed in the cycle of modes by Flash and Pulse; these two are much better for evening riding in urban areas – they don't send your eyes funny but still make others aware of you.I’d certainly back it to bounce back from any kind of collision or garage floor mishap that would otherwise crack a plastic-cased front light. The strap is easy to use and has a ridiculously simple adaptor that means you can mount it on a range of bar widths and shapes without compromising on the fit. And, if you find you’re getting more than your fair share of flashes from oncoming traffic, the rubber strap – although secure and well damped in normal use – allows you to angle the whole unit downwards to keep from blinding other commuters.

Multiple modes, tough construction and fast, universal bar fitting make it most useful for mixed urban/suburban use as well, so how does it fare against the best bike lights in the segment? Like Stu with the Lite Drive last year, I think eight modes is a bit much, but there's sure to be something to meet your needs and cope with every circumstance on the road. The Micro Drive Pro 800XL is Remote Switch compatible and comes with a versatile and secure mounting strap.

For this reason, we may need to send your goods to the manufacturer for inspection before taking any action.The Day Flash mode puts out 800 lumens and is top notch for riding in daytime traffic; EVERYONE notices you! It's worth pointing out that the light can be twisted on its mount; it's a very stiff movement, no float whatsoever. The slight green cast of the LEDs I found to be slightly easier on the eyes than the brighter white often used by brands such as Exposure. I haven't been out with it yet but the claimed battery lives (varying with the functions) are impressive. An adapter is supplied to fit smaller diameter round bars but when removed I had no trouble fitting it to wider aero profile handlebars.
