Reviews over the

Lezyne Macro Drive 1300XXL

Mounting system could be better . Control knob could be better . Good light output and good capacity of battery .

Pros & Cons

One is good... but for proper downhill in the dark you need two :-)

Pros & Cons

The best light, 1300 lumens - all you need to see on these dark night. Perfect!!!

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Elastic strap which it came with can be a bit fiddly and a bit awkward to secure to handlebar. Solved with a Lezyne LED handlebar mount & adapter.

The amount of light in maximum mode is amazing, and even when you use a little less bright light, it is still quite a bit of light. The battery life is very good.

Pros & Cons

Wanted a front lamp that illuminates dirt roads well in the dark. For this purpose, the lamp is ideally suited. In road traffic, however, you should rather not shine with full power :-) The assembly goes without tools and the hold is fine. In rough terrain, however, it could slip.

Pros & Cons

The key bit, the light, does what it should do. The bracket is attached to the light which is a bit of a pain when you want to charge it. Also, some of the programmes of different light intensity don't make a lot of sense. That said, it's really bright, it lasts and it's a good price.

Pros & Cons

Great bike light for cycling and mountain biking in the darkness. Compact, sturdy, performant and reliable and for a reasonable price at that. Many adjustment possibilities ranging from a lot of light to good visibility to long battery life. Must be seen!

Pros & Cons

Fantastic fine lamp, multiple possibilities to use light strength, very satisfied with this lamp. Tis definitely a must for those who want to tour a bit in the evening.

Pros & Cons

highly recommended, battery life is super with at least 2hrs of use at full blast. Rubber clamp might not be for everyone but it actually makes it easier to change the angle of the light so when there are oncoming traffic I can easily lower the angle. Perfect for dark country roads.

Works very well, already dived into the woods with it a few times at night. Battery needs a fairly long charge, so a tip: plug it in right after biking. You don't want to run out of light in the woods.

Lyset fra lygten er super god, men beslaget til at sætte på cyklen kan godt gøres bedre

Pros & Cons

a car headlight on the bike!!!!

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Very good and functional bike light which can be combined with a wired remote control for quick on and off or switching between low and high beam. Unfortunately, the attachment to the handlebars is not easy to handle (attach and detach slightly awkward, the attachment unfortunately does not protect against theft in gernigsten).

Pros & Cons

Good visibility , reasonably long battery life. Recommended for trips up to 3 to 4 hours

Bought this lamp for MTB, does what it should do 800lumen for 4h.

Pros & Cons

Always check that the rubber fastener is tight! Very suitable for commuting on unlit roads and also good daytime flash!

Pros & Cons

I like this light as it has a great range of light output options. I don't want to be the cyclist that annoys drivers with an overly powerful front light. In my opinion there is no need to run the light at 1300 lumens on the road. 400 or 800 are more than ample for good vision. And you will definitely be seen! The flashing modes and 'daytime running lights' mode are good too. Battery life has proven to be more than sufficient for my needs and I've used the light during the daytime on low power mode and at night time on higher powered modes and it's not come close to depleting the battery. I'm not sure why some reviewer have said the mode options are confusing. It's a simple loop of light output modes. Read the instructions and put them into practice and there isn't a problem! I'm happy with my purchase overall. It's a robust piece of kit! My only criticism is the handlebar attachment strap/bracket doesn't instil confidence that it's going to keep the light affixed to the handlebars. I haven't had a problem yet, but it could be better.

Pros & Cons

Compact and bright. A good quality light.

What a light!

Pros & Cons

I ordered the lamp because I have not found a really bright lamp approved in Germany under 450€. It is really bright, made of aluminum and even the silicone holder is so much better than, for example, from a Sigmalampe! Am very satisfied, even if the light could still come a little more modulated on the road.

Pros & Cons

What a great value, high performance light and great purchase experience from mantel. Fits well on the bars and doesn’t rattle or shake.

Pros & Cons

The best solution for people going out late ! Good battery around 2:45 at high beam to 10hours if low scale Suggested for sure !

This lamp is ideal for day daily commute and even for evening rides in the woods thanks to the high-beam function

Pros & Cons

Lots of light output, convenient fixing

Less practical is the operation between the standard mode with 6 sub modes and the maximum mode.

Impressive brightness Very good battery life What's more, we're highly visible to other road users... with the exception of the distracted and/or the ill-intentioned.

Pros & Cons

Satisfied with the purchase. Good quality and gives enough light. There are better but for the price offered Mantel little more to add. So far satisfied.

Pros & Cons

Great visibility and unbeatable value for money. Nights become day ;)

Pros & Cons

Easy attachment, very bright light. Ideal to keep racing in these dark days!

Pros & Cons

Super in the field. Everything is very well illuminated and at a fair price and size / weight. Great!

Pros & Cons

If you not only want to be seen but have excellent visibility yourself, this is a top product. Different modes make it good to use in different conditions. I have also used this lamp off road in the dark on the sharpest setting you have perfect light almost daylight

Pros & Cons

Great for light, that is bright enough for night riding.

Pros & Cons

Very good offer; difference with 1800W is almost nil. but for t real work you need 2 , 1 on your handlebars and 1 on your helmet

Pros & Cons

Tested it for the first time this week on an evening ride in complete darkness in the woods. The lamp gave me with than 2 light at full power. The entire forest was lit for more. Had a second lamp with me as a backup but did not have to use this one. I recommend this one to everyone. For this price you will not find a better light!

Pros & Cons

The lamp is very good. It illuminates at a number of intensity levels, so you can adapt it to your needs. For me, battery life is an essential asset. It's a lamp I'd recommend for people who want good lighting power and/or need good autonomy. The first negative point I can find with it is that the attachment doesn't stay on the bike with a quick-clip system (but that's not complicated to set up either). The second is that a second mode selection button could allow you to go back. In fact, to go up in light power, you have to go down until you come back to max power.

Pros & Cons

Great light thanks to the different modes. I ride mainly with the 1300 lmn and 150 lmn setting, you can set it so that the lamp only switches between these strengths, very convenient that you can set it so you can adjust your brightness on the less dark areas. When you don't choose this option, you have to press it a couple of times before you reach the desired setting. Even in the woods, for example single track in the dark, you have more than enough light to see well ahead.

Pros & Cons

Convenient race mode so you only have 2 strengths. mode 1: weak mode -> ideal for the road mode 2: overdrive -> good for in a hollow road or in the woods. just watch out for oncoming traffic.

Pros & Cons

racing mode is ideal... mode 1 gingerly lit (for on the street). mode 2 for in hollow roads in the dark.... all oncoming cars' eyes are burned out!

Pros & Cons

By chance I came across this bicycle lamp. Opinions on the net were hard to find. The representation of the illumination , have given a good impression . Through the rubber band attachment I can use the lamp flexibly on all my wheels !!!! The brightness in conjunction with the illumination are phenomenal in practice !!! See and be seen in perfection.

Pros & Cons

gives a lot of light in dark streets

Pros & Cons

Stable lamp that is easy to attach to the handlebar and lights up very well. Looked at many different lamps but stuck to this one because of good reviews and price. Have not compared with stronger lamps but this one works perfectly well in the forest and meets my requirements by far.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Highly effective on unlit roads. Range is at least 150m at full power, so you can see pedestrians, animals, obstacles and so on. I use mode 1 and 2 (full mode and eco mode) on roads with lighting. I have no regrets whatsoever about this purchase, which I sincerely recommend.

Pros & Cons

This torch is Very simple to use and robust well made. All the settings are Ideal for any occasion from urban to dark country lanes Fixing strap can be a little fiddly to get on but is not a major problem Overall very satisfied

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Very bright, robust.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

I swapped the rubber strap for a proper mount straight away. Always run it on Race mode, I don’t find the change in brightness too bad.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Very high quality finish, great illumination and battery life.

Pros & Cons

easy attachment strong light, good visibility around unlit farm roads and towpaths

Pros & Cons

very easy installation, several positions with 2 settings to quickly change brightness. Definitely useful not to blind oncoming traffic. The lamp gives very strong light, even enough to go biking in the woods at night.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Finally again at 18 clock in the winter in the forest see everything. You should only be careful not to dazzle oncoming traffic on the roads, since not StvZO approved. But for this you can also regulate the lamp down accordingly!

Pros & Cons

Solid headlight with high light output. At the highest setting really a lot of light. For oncoming traffic you have to lower the light a few notches to avoid glare.

Pros & Cons

This is a beast of light, super bright. I feel really confident and safe during my rides at night. Battery at max level lasts as well, plenty of time for riding at dark. As for the clamp, a flexible rubber clamp is good when I can easily change the angles so I can lower the light when there is oncoming traffic. However, this may be too flexible for trail riders where road bumps can change the angle of beam. Overall, very satisfied.

Pros & Cons

Powerful, good range. No worries for night mountain biking.

Bright bright bright... Oh yes and bright.

Pros & Cons

Really lights up the road and battery lasts for ages! Great light

The light is praktich if you are traveling fast on country roads at night. Even downhill there is enough light to be able to drive safely. :-)

Pros & Cons

- Long battery life - Bright light so that trails can be ridden at night. - wide cone of light - very good workmanship - many different light modes with memory function - good design - aluminum housing - waterproof USB connection The only question is whether the battery is replaceable as it ages. Otherwise, the lamp has a very clear buy recommendation for this price.

Veel standen. Ideaal om op donkere wegen te bollen. De felste stand verlicht alles. Net alsof je overdag rijdt.

A well built piece of kit and very bright. Not the lightest.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

This light can really light up a forest! If only it could last 1.5 hours more (so it reaches 4 hours at max power), it would get the last two stars.

Pros & Cons

A very good and effective product, I highly recommend it.

Pros & Cons

Super nice lamp with a perfect image in the dark.

Pros & Cons

This lamp is exactly what I was looking for on my mountain bike, I have this lamp still supplemented with the trigger cable. Valuable aluminum housing and good attachment to the handlebars. The lamp runs with me in race mode and with the trigger I have the possibility very fast auf bzw ab zublenden. In race mode there are 2 stages the second / strong stage is too bright for normal road traffic. Delivery was very fast. Greetings Daniel

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

The quality is good, only remote switch is missing, for this price it could be included

Pros & Cons

Very satisfied with this lamp. There are so many different settings that you can go on unlit trails without any problem as well as with the weaker settings you can warn your oncoming traffic well. Easy to mount or change bikes.

Pros & Cons

Very happy with this lamp, very bright and wide light beam, luckily there is a race mode on it so you can switch between 2 modes (bright and soft). The only thing is the button, the rubber of this button came loose once in my backpack luckily I found it and was able to fix everything but now I doubt the waterproofness via this side. Otherwise very robust.

Pros & Cons

The light works very well. It's powerful enough to feel safe in the forest. It shines well in front and also a little to the sides, so you can see what's going on around you. However, the clip isn't great. You really have to tighten it to prevent the light from spinning.

Pros & Cons

For the money I paid for this lamp including high-quality taillight (Lezyne Strip Alert Drive), others buy a whole bike ... Accordingly, the expectations were high. The light output is brilliant, the space in front of the wheel very well and especially evenly illuminated, not too wide and also the "far" area sufficiently covered. Even at higher speeds, no potholes appear unannounced in front of the wheel. The glare effect for oncoming traffic seems to be low (when aligned correctly). With incorrect alignment, on the other hand, every oncoming vehicle already dazzles at a mostly large distance in road traffic. The LED on the housing warns (yellow) in good time when the battery is low, if you then switch 1-2 levels of brightness down, you still have at least 2 hours reserve and the LED also lights up green again in the new level. The light modes go in 5 stages from super bright to twilight (again, I can only reluctantly look inside), plus a flash light 80x / min. and an alternating light (100x / min. bright ... darker). Long press switches OFF / ON (last mode becomes active again) ... the modes are thus helpful and I feel the click through the modes as not annoying, because also not mandatory. The workmanship is high quality, but also brings a little weight (227g). The mounting is the only weak point. The bulky rubber sleeve makes a durable impression, but it is not a rubber band, which means it cannot be stretched much. The gradation of the mounting holes is on the sleeve in 11 mm increments. Thus, the one hole for the handlebar diameter is somewhat loose and the next hole already requires strong stretching of the cuff. In addition, I find the hooking of the rubber sleeve on the hook near the lamp body a little fiddly. The attachment should be optimized, because I take off a lamp in the price range when parking my bike every time. Thus Punkzabzug! 8 out of 10 would not be appropriate in the light output, therefore 9 out of 10 points ... ;-)

Pros & Cons

good lighting but difficult to switch from one mode to another because of the single button

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

As advertised, Eco mode lasts forever, and the overdrive is sufficient even for completely unlit routes. I had the 800XL before and am positively surprised by the longer runtime in the same size. Fast Charge also works.

Pros & Cons

The lamp is really very bright. I drove through the forest at night. You feel safe even on faster descents because bumps are well illuminated. The attachment to the handlebars is uncomplicated, but by the rubber band is not bombproof. The change through the different light modes is somewhat cumbersome, as there are 7 modes, these can only be switched through one after the other with a button. But there is also a "Race Mode" in which there are only 2 modes. I get along well with it: Moderate light for roads with lighting and full power on unlit paths. Am overall very satisfied, but have no comparison to similar lamps

Pros & Cons

Light good for on and off road. Doesnt always function properly, sticking on one setting, particulary in cold weather. Had this with Lezyne lights before and they right themselves after a day or two. Easy to attach and remove to bike using strong rubber strap

Pros & Cons

Great product I am happy to use it. I do recommend it for everyone.

Already owning the 1100xl version there was no question about quality from this manufacturer, but wanting just that little more in terms of lights and battery longevity (lasts me my 1.25-1.5 hr commute every day on full power and only just showing orange as I pull on the drive) the 1300xl was the obvious option 100% reccomend to anyone looking for the ultimate compact light

Pros & Cons

Super bright and great quality as with all Lezyne products

I had a 400XL model before, but this thing is just amazing, so much light coming from this baby. Love the racing mode, where you can switch quickly and save on the battery. I recommend big time

Pros & Cons

Chunky solid light with very good brightness, race mode is particularly helpful in not blinding people when not needed, but also have instant access to strong light, almost like a car drivers ability to flash their headlight

Pros & Cons

Does what it says on the tin. Im very happy with this purchase.

Pros & Cons

Overall a great light, with plenty of lumens to throw, beam pattern is very adequate for cycling. The usb charging port is really convenient and handy, making it hard to run out of "juice" (charge it at home, in the car, or via power bank). The rubber style handlebar attachment is good , but I would have preferred a slide-in holder to make the light perfect. Mantel had the best price for this light, (on Black Friday) better than Amazon or eBay, or any other cyclist-friendly site. Size wise is the maximum that I would carry on my bike - but the good battery life must com from somewhere. Thank you, ride safe, See and be seen in the dark!

Pros & Cons

Easily fitted to the handlebars easy to use lights up the dark roads. Spot on.
