At just 114 grams with the mounting strap featuring Lezyne's impeccable CNC machined housing and a max capability of 700 consistent Lumens, the Lezyne Lite Drive 700XL should have a home on the handlebars of every road bike that carries it's rider through the hard training hours of dawn and dusk. The available Overdrive Race mode allows the rider to toggle between 700 Lumens and 150 as conditions warrant. With several other operational modes, including Daylight Flash and an excellent set of constant other options, you can find the proper lighting mode for every situation.

The range of power levels is ideal, as are the Flash and Pulse modes. The 2 LED beam itself is powerful, with Lezyne's MOR optical reflectors sending light up the road, but also giving excellent spread as well. Side cuts in the housing, at the lens, deliver 180 degree visibility in all lighting modes for maximum safety. The compact, durable and heat-dissipating machined aluminum body is water and weather resistant; it can handle mild impact as well.

The beauty of the compact Li-Ion battery lies not only in it's size and weight, but also power and run time. A full charge at 1Amp take 6 hours, but the unit has an intelligent charging system and an optional (sold separately) 2Amp wall adapter cuts that in half. The USB cord is supplied, along with an easily removable rubber strap mount that will accommodate all bar sizes. Lezyne does offer a helmet mount for the Lite Drive 700XL well. Typical of Lezyne, the overall quality and design are excellent. This innovative company continues to impress and in our experience many Lezyne purchasers own several of the company's excellent cycling accessories. Any cyclist can enjoy the power and capability of this lightweight powerhouse.
