RANKED:THE 4 BEST CYCLING LIGHTS OF 2023

I spent the last six months cycling with over a dozen different cycling lights to find the all
around best one. #1 surprised me…

Best ring on the Market

"
THRIVE have been great to deal with. Shipping took a little while, but the Helios ring itself has exceeded my expectations and the customer support has been excellent. Any questions I’ve had were handled quickly, which is a big plus. The ring is incredibly accurate and comfortable to wear, especially for early morning and long rides. Being able to see my recovery and readiness before training has completely changed how I approach my sessions."

Very light and with so much tech!

“I wear the Helios ring every day, not just on the bike, and it works perfectly. I use it alongside my bike computer, and the extra biometric insight has been a game changer. I regularly rely on the recovery and sleep data to decide how hard to push, and the app works seamlessly. Overall, it’s a really well-priced, high-quality product. I’m already looking at adding more THRIVE gear to my setup.”

Suprisingly Robust!!!!

“I was honestly a bit sceptical ordering a smart ring from a brand I hadn’t heard of before. I assumed it might be cheaply made or unreliable. I was completely wrong. The Helios ring has lived up to every claim on the website and is still performing perfectly after months of daily use. I ride off-road a lot, so it gets knocked around more than most wearables, but it’s held up incredibly well.”

Great Ring

“I’m still learning everything the Helios ring can do, but I absolutely love it. It’s sleek, comfortable, and genuinely useful. The insights feel practical rather than overwhelming, and I like that it quietly works in the background without needing constant attention. I’m excited to keep exploring the features as I spend more time with it.”

than expected.

I love my SBL 'tail light.'
11/22/2022

I have been very pleased with my SBL
experience. The light is bright enough to be visible for a great distance, and
the different modes allow me to tailor the output for the type of ride and time
of day. The anti-theft mode is also helpful when we pause for a rest or have to
go into a store with the bike on the rack. Overall, great product...

I find the light very useful.
11/06/2022

I find the light very useful. It is effortless
to change the settings (four different modes can be pre-set). I love the theft
alert function.

Very flexible light with proper modes!
10/26/2022

I use the Farina light as a helmet light;
it works perfectly. (I use a radar light for the seat post position). I
frequently use the alarm function when leaving my bike unattended; the app
works great and is reasonably priced!

I love these lights!
10/15/2022

I love using SBL lights!

David Browne

United States

Fantastic Light!
10/11/2022

The merchandise, both the front and the
rear lights, are fantastic. Excellent build quality (I love the aluminum
finish), has great battery life and is very bright. I recommend this product to
any night trail rider, well, any rider at night.

Robert Holmes

United States

I see the light
10/09/2022

The SBL lights are amazing. I like the
idea that the light shines when you slow down to a stop, and the Alarm is a
bonus. I needed good lights for my bike. I am glad I found SBL 100% satisfied 👌🏽

Milan van Tuin

United States

SBL lights with brake feature! Perfect.
10/07/2022

I backed the first smart bike light but,
unfortunately, was lost. I immediately bought a new one since I wanted to be
visible, especially when almost nobody has a light on their bike. The brake
feature is handy for others to notice you're slowing down.

Best Lights on the Market
09/20/2022

SmartBikeLights have been an excellent
company to deal with. While shipping can take a little while, the lights are
great, and the customer service has been on point. They have helped with any
issues I have had, which is a huge plus.

Also, the front light is unreal. So suitable
for night riding in the UK. The rear lights with auto brake feature get many
compliments too.

Ori Livneh

I purchased this fantastic light (FARINA)
09/15/2022

The Farina is straightforward to install
and completes functions in a fantastic app through your cell phone, making it
even better!

And both products are GREAT!

I have at least four other bike
flashlights (I paid money for 2), which are nothing compared to these… GET IT, everyone

It's amazing!

Ernie Porthouse

United States

First quality products
09/10/2022

People
often stop me and remark on how visible my Cliq lights are from 2km away. The
headlights (FARINA) are of the highest quality as well.

Phil Smith

I love the multi functionality and programmability…
08/25/2022

I love the multi functionality and
programmability of this light through the app and with experimentation I have
found a great set-up where the braking light is fantastic.

Tony Blunt

United States

Totally functional and surprisingly robust
08/19/2022

I admit, I was a bit sceptical when I
ordered these lights from a company on the internet that I had never heard of.
I had a suspicion that they would be cheaply made in China and would not last
very long before they died, but I took a punt.

I was wrong. They live up to every
claim made for them on the website, and are still going strong a year after
being installed on my MTB, which as you can imagine means they get shaken and
bounced and vibrated - a LOT!

Would I buy more? No. The ones I have
are still working perfectly!!!! I don't need any more.

If and when they eventually die, I
would definitely replace them, but I don't think that's going to happen any
time soon.

James Storey

United States

Bought a mixture of lights…
08/17/2022

Bought a mixture of lights, a FARINA & CLIQ is
always in use just as a brake light the Navi & CLIQ I use @ night for me
they appear to be brighter than anything else in my cycle group and regularly
get asked about them customer service is excellent I can not recommend these
lights enough they are the best I’ve come across.

Mike Lim

United States

Loving it…
08/10/2022

I love💖 this smartlight.
The material and build quality looks and feel high end product. The app is an
added bonus. But the best thing i like is that the led lights are really bright
and intensity can be adjusted. You can personalize the 3 led lights & hv 3
lightning modes. 😉😊. Thanks Smart Bikes lights!!!

Gianfranco Costa

Beautiful light for road bike
08/05/2022

Perfect to mount on a road bike saddle,
its automatic use is perfect in case you forget to switch off the light (as I
always do!!). Different types of red light for every necessity and its usb
charge are the perfect plus. I asked some information by e-mail to the seller,
that answered me quickly. I suggest you this bike light !!!!!!
