Reviews over the

Lezyne Macro Drive 1300XXL

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

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

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

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

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

Super bright and great quality as with all Lezyne products

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

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

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

Pros & Cons

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

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

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

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

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

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 !

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

Compact and bright. A good quality light.

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.

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.

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

Great light. Good battery.

Pros & Cons

if you want to see the road or track ahead of you, then get one of these... Only used it a handful of times and well impressed. easily dimmable for when you hit the public highway (it totally blinds cars) and epic on trails...

Pros & Cons

Hält was es verspricht, 1300 Lumen, wunderbare Ausleuchtung im Dunkeln. Sehr gute und wertige Verarbeitung. Kann man absolut weiterempfehlen.

Pros & Cons

Great all in one light. Looks really well made and bright enough to use off road on the MTB. Lasts quite a while on the lower settings. Well pleased with it.

Pros & Cons

Awesome lights - secure, super bright and well worth the money!

Pros & Cons

Simple to use and high quality aluminium body provides a robust finish. Strap a little tight compared to previous Lezyne lights but still sits securely on the handlebars.

Pros & Cons

Having put up with mere 400 lumen lezyne for a number of years, thought I was due an upgrade. It's a chunky monkey, so handlebars a little cramped due to trip computer and in-line levers on my CX. Race mode is spot on; can quickly dim for approaching cyclists or walkers.

Pros & Cons

you might have a shout or two coming your way, that the light is too bright, but I already have two of those, and wouldn't swap them for anything else (well, maybe for 1800 one, but it's out of my price range ;) )

Pros & Cons

Great light. I have roads near me with no street lights and this is perfect. For the most part I use it on low power beam when there are street lights and its plenty of light. Bighter than my old lamp on low power!

Pros & Cons

Very happy about this purchase!

Pros & Cons

Very good

Pros & Cons

Have used this lights with good results in the dark Swedish autumn nights. Gives ample of light for trail biking in pitch darkness. Great price/performance compared to other lights.

Pros & Cons

Je kan echt enkele uren op serieus Limmen rijden en dat is in vergelijking met mijn “oude” 500 een enorm verschil.

Pros & Cons

Durch die hohe Lichtleistung lassen sich die Wege gut ausleuchten. Somit sind auch Abendfahrten im Wald möglich.

Pros & Cons

I've used this on night rides around the local forest a few times now and I'm impressed. Picks up everything and its a very solid unit

Pros & Cons

easy to use, easy to stick to bike, great light, as bright as you like, all sorts of setting, strobe too. some will say to bright but if your out training on the darkest roads or spots this in the ultimate light you need. okay its bulky but for the brightness you get you understand why.

Pros & Cons

I use it both on my road bike and mountain bike. It's very bright on the road and in the trails that I usually use it is sufficient. Very happy with the purchase.

Pros & Cons

It's a really bright light and is excellent for winter rides

Pros & Cons

I spent a long time comparing reviews of many different bike lamps before deciding on the Lezyne Macro Drive 1300XXL and I am very happy with my choice. This lamp ticks ALL the boxes for me; it is simple to use (you don't really need the manual), it is very powerful, with ample easily toggled intensity options, it has a great battery life, it charges quickly, the mounting method allows you to quickly attach or detach the lamp, it is well made and robust, I find the size and design aesthetics pleasing, and apart from all that; it is excellent value for money. I can warmly recommend this product.

Pros & Cons

Als Pendler im Winter über And oder bei nervigem Gegenlicht dürch Autoscheinwerfer sehr hilfreich.

Pros & Cons

I am grateful to see on the dark backroads so I can ride better in these dark European nights!

Pros & Cons

Super fietslicht. Doet wonderen voor je zichtbaarheid alsook je eigen zicht in het donker.

Pros & Cons

My husband needed a new bike light. This has been perfect! We live in the countryside so being able to see where he is cycling is really important! This is a very bright light, very easy to fit and use. It was in his opinion, my best buy!

Pros & Cons

very high quality and the battery lasts very long

Pros & Cons

After I found the right position on the handlebars, I was thrilled about the light output. Also switching through the respective modes works great. Only to recommend!

Pros & Cons

Ordered something many times before and always fast and correct.

Pros & Cons

Shines far, long and bright.

Pros & Cons

The madness how well the thing illuminates, the length and width is optimal, the runtime more than sufficient at full power, and for the price (75 €) simply unrivaled. Do not know what I would like to see more

Pros & Cons

Reassured on the road at night, you can see well and be seen.

Pros & Cons

The range of light powers covers to go through the city in the morning and be seen by cars, and even to go through the mountains in the dark and at high speed, being able to see the road ahead perfectly. The battery lasts a long time, especially if you don't need to constantly use the higher powers (I usually don't need to, only on the steepest descents). It takes a few hours to charge, but as long as you remember to charge it in plenty of time before you go out on the bike, it's not a problem. One small downside I would put on it is that nowadays, almost everything connects with USB Type-C and this flashlight still goes with Type-A. Not that it's a problem, but it's one more cable I have to have on hand. I like that it can be adjusted both up and down, as well as sideways. Most flashlights I've seen, can, but not all. Compared to other models and other brands, even though its price is not low overall, this flashlight, with this light output, battery life, and adjustability (which was what I was looking for), is the cheapest I have found. For lower prices (and even higher!) you find flashlights that don't illuminate as much (although maybe enough for some people) or that you have to charge after every ride with the bike. So for the price, I think it's a good option.

Pros & Cons

Fully complies

Pros & Cons

I haven't tested it in the forest yet, but on the road I only have to put it on power 2 out of 4 so as not to dazzle, and it's already quite bright.

Pros & Cons

I was looking for a lamp that would enable me to ride through the woods at night. Now I've got one. You can see just like in daylight. At full power, the battery easily lasts 1h45 to 2h, which is just right for a night out. I recommend ++.

Pros & Cons

A very shapely bike lamp that brings incredibly great light on the way. Since I'm on the road a lot with the Gravel in forest and meadow, it fulfills its service there particularly well. Due to wide illumination no roots and stumbling blocks escape and allow me so safely through the dark forest to come.

Pros & Cons

I was looking for a long time for a bright lamp for the forest trails. With this lamp I have found my light intensity. Super bright and very good light cone.

Pros & Cons

For the brightness you really get a nevertheless compact and very valuable product. Very bright and the holder I find very successful, since nothing wobbles and holds the well-balanced magic lamp. I would buy it again immediately. Does well on my Canyon Spectral on CR7

Pros & Cons

Very powerful , yet in several modes nicely adjustable , easy to take on and off handlebars

Pros & Cons

Excellent illumination even in difficult weather conditions, rain, fog... Excellent visibility: no car has forgotten its headlights! Practical mounting system. Quality product

Pros & Cons

Very good headlamp with different lighting modes for a 3-hour outing. Handlebar attachment bracket is very good and the cable recharging system is very practical.

Pros & Cons

The lamp makes a really bright light and makes a very valuable impression, since the housing is made entirely of aluminum. Unfortunately, the lamp does not have STVO approval. Other road users are quite dazzled at full power. Therefore, on the road better to choose one to 2 levels darker.

Pros & Cons

Easy to mount on your bike and versatile to use in urban areas but also enough light for a dark polder

Pros & Cons

I practice mtb, and now with this schedule it gets dark soon, it is perfect, impressive the light it gives, in its maximum position.

Pros & Cons

The lamp shines boldly ahead, ideal for fully illuminating bike path or forest trail in the pitch black forest! Easy to turn brighter or softer while riding. You can aim it higher or lower, for example if there is oncoming traffic. Strong attachment, lamp stays well in place. Easy to charge with USB.

Pros & Cons

Good lamp in combination with taillight

Pros & Cons

Also good to use as a flashlight.

Pros & Cons

Nice product, the stand seems to hold the spotlight nice and stable, the lighting can be adjusted in a wide range of intensity, the charge duration seems more than enough for my uses, I recommend it.

Pros & Cons

A lamp that rocks!

Pros & Cons

This lamp is absolutely brilliant, with great lighting power, even at night, and sufficient autonomy for bikepacking. The mount is brilliant in that it's universal, even on flat handlebars: the rounded rubber can be unscrewed to fit aero handlebars. I've put the weight down, but for power and autonomy it's normal. What's more, despite several falls, it's extremely resistant and works perfectly. I'd like to thank Mantel for their competitive prices and top-notch delivery.

Pros & Cons

I use this light to train at night on my road bike before going to work and I am very happy. I have gone from using a 200 lumens light that lasted me 1h 15' and I stretched it up to 2 hours reducing the intensity when I went through areas with streetlights, to leaving home with 800 lumens, (it's like the night becomes day), without having to worry about battery life. I usually train for two hours at night and at 800 lumens the specifications of this light give 4 hours of autonomy, so I do my training without any problem. This light gives a very nice white light, there are other lights that give more yellowish light. At first I was a little worried that this light was going to dazzle drivers. If you point it in the drivers face of course you are going to dazzle them, but the beam of this light is very well focused and if you direct the light with a little tilt towards the ground, the main beam of the light focuses on the road and does not dazzle. Along with the main beam, this light also gives a softer diffused light that illuminates your surroundings without disturbing anyone. It has a rubber attachment that looks sturdy and durable, I find it very useful, because I can attach and remove it from the handlebars or helmet in seconds. The shape of the helmet I have, POC Octal, allows me to attach this light directly to the helmet. I like to wear it on the helmet, because by focusing on the road from a greater height, you get even more vision, and by having it attached to the head, you have light where you want to look. For example, I don't need to carry the backlit GPS to see time, heart rate, power, etc, because when I want to look at it with the light it lights up and I see it. Carrying the light in the helmet is also useful to not miss what happens on the sides of the road, for example, you see some eyes glowing in the dark, you look over there with the light and you see perfectly that there is a fox. On the other hand, some afternoons I have to work in the field, pruning, tilling, now in winter when it gets dark very early, I put the light at 1300 lumens on my helmet and continue pruning or tilling for a while more seeing perfectly. My tractor is very old, its lights are very weak, this light illuminates better than my tractor. Regarding the power button, it has a silicone button that is very easy to press and allows you to go very quickly from one mode to another, in 3 seconds you can have gone completely around the 7 modes, so I see no problem having to go through all the modes, in the case of wanting to change from 800 to 1300, for example. This button lights green when the battery is between 100 and 50%, yellow when it is between 50 and 10%, red between 10 and 5%, and flashing red when less than 5% is left. With the light off, by clicking the button, the button lights up indicating the battery charge level with the color of light you see. To turn the light on you hold it down for 2 seconds and it turns on in the mode you left it in. The flash mode of 150 lumens I thought it would not be very powerful to see you during the day, but I'm glad to be wrong, I put it at the same time as my old light that has a specific daytime flash mode that reaches 2 km, and this is even more powerful, we are going to see you great day. I leave you a photo of the road illuminated with 800 lumens, to do it pedaling and the mobile not being good with night photos, does not have very good quality, but I think it is perfectly appreciated that illuminates the road very well.

Pros & Cons

excellent, even used at not maximum power it illuminates very well, to fix it stably just place it over the fold part with the nstro.

Pros & Cons

Highest light level on forest trails with super visibility. On normal roads it is very bright in the mode, here is enough significantly less, which makes the battery power more than long-lasting. The weight is somewhat high but the value high. In times of darkness I put no value on gram numbers rather on safety. Have Gravel and road bike equipped with it and can only recommend it.

Pros & Cons

Ideal for trips between 5-50km, doesn't discharge too quickly and provides excellent visibility. I recommend :)

Pros & Cons

Very good, powerful lamp that does the job

Pros & Cons

Great light with a lot of lumen output for its price, very good battery life at 1000 lumen mode and at a great price.

Pros & Cons

I have used these both on the mtb (forest and unlit trails) and for my commute and in all conditions more than enough light.

Pros & Cons

superior in light output

Pros & Cons

Very nice lamp, easy and simple to fix fine solid operation

Pros & Cons

very, very good product, seems very solid autonomy and perfect lighting. Size allows you to attach it to your own bike.

Pros & Cons

This lamp is simply brilliant for the price. I use it in two-stage mode, so only far and low beam mode. Light output is just perfect. The settlement via Mantel was also just great as always.

Pros & Cons

Easy to mount. Brightness easy to adjust while driving. Used in the field and the brightness is more than adequate.

Pros & Cons

Completely met expectations. Had the 1000XXL first, but this one lasts longer and is suitable for a 3 hour ride in the dark with brightest light

Pros & Cons

Perfectly meets my expectations and allows me to see well in dim outdoor lighting.

Pros & Cons

It's a very good lamp that lights up really brightly, but at maximum level it consumes a lot of power so you have to turn it down to make it last longer, and there are lots of modes for that. I even mounted it on my motorcycle to see better.

Pros & Cons

I like to drive evening through the forest or even past fields (in the dark) and I must say it illuminates very well you can also drive faster because times also sees everything clearly on several meters I am super satisfied

Pros & Cons

The lamp turns night into day,

Pros & Cons

Super light for the bike, can be stored well in the backpack and mounted in a few seconds if necessary.

Pros & Cons

The lamp makes a very high-quality impression and is super processed, the operability is good, and the light top.

Pros & Cons

The power and width of the light beam are well suited to use on paths and trails.

Pros & Cons

First tour at night was surprisingly good. Driving time of 4.5h with perfect illumination

Pros & Cons

I used it a few early mornings and it works great in lighting with its various options, and depending on those options, the battery life depends on it.

Pros & Cons

Easy to attach to the wheel - Ingeniously Bright and easy to use. Almost too bright, but too bright does not really go.

Pros & Cons

Lateral illumination very good (me has already once a deer from the side rammed Side rammed ,that does not happen to me again)

Pros & Cons

Super lamp! It is very bright and illuminates extremely well. I use it for mountain biking and even on bumpy trails it sits bombproof on the handlebars. The race mode I find super convenient. The only minus point: The holder is not separable from the lamp

Pros & Cons

Was looking for a USB lamp that is bright enough to drive safely in the forest. This requirement meets the lamp completely - speeds up to 35 km / h are possible in the dark. I am completely satisfied.

Pros & Cons

I have the lighting on my mountain bike in addition to my helmet lamp. The lamp really holds 2.5 hours at full luminosity. Nothing is glossed over here. The luminosity is also super. The track is well illuminated. The lamp feels valuable and would also survive guaranteed falls. I find the Race Mode practical by simply switching between two luminosities. For the price for me the best light with integrated battery on the market

Pros & Cons

Lamp for me very universally applicable. As bike lighting on the handlebars easy to mount. Through the additional mode (hold on button five seconds) can be changed with a short press of a button between 1300 and 150 lumens. As with the passenger car on and low beam. Due to the strong rotating rubber band, the lamp can be mounted very quickly and easily on the bike helmet top through the slots as a helmet lamp and holds very well.

Pros & Cons

Very satisfactory grip, no vibration in potholes or high speed. After having used several of these lights I really liked the system it has to change the intensity of light protection. In others that I had always went through the off cycle, which is a danger in the middle of a night route to be blind. But with the Lezyne it's been fantastic as it doesn't pay for the light intensity selection at any time. We are very happy with the product
