Perfect gadget for a safe feeling while cycling

- Hector Aroldo 13 January 2025

It is a great gadget for safely cycling on shared roads. The coverage is more than enough to get a good idea of the traffic behind you. The included adapters make it fit virtually any type of frame. I recommend it for group rides and rides on roads where several cars are expected.

Pros & Cons

Coverage
Great connectivity
Responsiveness

5 / 5

Top product, but put it in a silicon case

- Rob 30 December 2024

Great rear light, especially when combined with a comptable bike computer. It is waterproof but the on-off mode button is very sensitive to grains of sand. As a result, the button sticks. Today I exchanged mine as there was no more movement in the button. Kudos to the Mantel employee in Utrecht (who got me a new one without any problems) who advised me to order a silicone cover on the internet to protect the button, among other things. Naturally, I followed his advice.

Pros & Cons

easy to use
