Pros & Cons

too little used yet for a really good review, but a friend of mine has it too, and it gives a huge bump of light when needed!

Pros & Cons

A very good lamp with many light modes. You can train very well with it even in the dark. It could be a little smaller and lighter, but otherwise great.

Very contemp works great

The Lezyne 1400+ is an excellent light. Robust, powerful and well thought-out, it offers several lighting modes, including Race mode, ideal for racing to avoid any handling errors. Battery life is good overall, but I still consider it to be a weak point in ultra-distance events like the Race Across France, for example. The 450 lumen mode, which in my opinion is the minimum for safe night-time riding, is advertised by Lezyne as providing 12.5 hours of autonomy. In reality, the lamp only lasts 8.5 hours, which I was able to check on two different models. So the claimed autonomy is clearly overestimated. (A big thank you to Mantel after-sales service, which was very responsive). Its weight can also be a disadvantage for some people, although in ultra or bikepacking the total weight of the bike is not really a priority. Apart from the very specific use that is ultra-cycling, this lamp is still perfect: reliable, powerful and very well designed.

Very good product

Easy-to-mount lamp with various light modes. Ideal for inside and outside the village

Pros & Cons

It's a shame that Mantel no longer sells the Led Qpro Mount! The original mounting system is really impractical, difficult to put on. I have to put the light on and take it off every day to avoid theft. The classic gopro system can easily be stolen if a bike is parked in the street. Powerful light that looks well made. The large battery and robust materials make it heavy and cumbersome.

Like other lamps, this one has a bit too many (unnecessary) (flashing) modes. Personally, I don't understand why manufacturers don't differentiate a bit more. "One for all" seems nice, but it's not necessarily super user-friendly. * Fortunately (!) this lamp has a "race mode"! * Containing 2 well usable modes: one a fine mode for in traffic built-up areas, the other an overdrive for pitch-dark roads in the countryside. The large battery capacity also makes this lamp especially interesting for that user in city traffic on that squeezed mode; over 12 hours! A minus point is the attachment: lamp is sensitive to turning away on a slightly bumpy cobblestone road. So tighten it a bit more. It is a pity there is no possibility to screw/click it on with an (optional) clamp. I imagine there is a market and target group for all modes of this lamp (including flashing for 300 hours on one battery charge). It's not ideal, but it comes very close! Especially if you can use the race mode modes off. If you prefer to switch between two other modes, you'll understand why I say "almost" (ideal).

Pros & Cons

The product met my expectations: powerful lamp and long-lasting battery. Unfortunately, it weighs a lot.

Like my previous bike light from Lezyne, ideal for mountain biking.

Pros & Cons

lights up very well. a little heavy but that's normal, the battery is powerful. the attachment is a little difficult to put on the handlebars.

Great lamp with many light levels. An acceptable battery life even at the brightest level and the possibility to ride in pitch darkness and see the way, especially when road conditions are not good. Unfortunately, the bracket is fixed to the housing. Solid, but it would be practical if the bracket and lamp could be separated.

Very nice lamp that lasts a long time with lots of settings.

Pros & Cons

Strong lamp with differences lamp modes from a soft light, to flashing light to a very bright light. Battery not yet tested (no judgement on it yet). The stretcher is practically impossible to get around your handlebars, and then attach the lamp with it.

Pros & Cons

The light is great for road traffic. Unfortunately, the mounting is a bit tricky

It more than does its job. It is very powerful and shines far and wide. Very light and easy to use. It would be nice if it showed the battery percentage.

Had the 1300xl before this, so knew this would be a good lamp, but charging is not as it should be; see + and - points

Pros & Cons

Solid light for rides tem 2 hours. Even for in the woods, you can get by with this light in combination with a lamp on your helmet Easy to adjust, I mainly use the race mode to change quickly if there should be oncoming traffic.
