It’s brilliant as a commuting light though or for general low light recreational riding. My eyesight struggles a bit with very dark conditions and I found the Macro drive good at low to medium speed on dark lanes. There is an unlit path near my house and it’s perfect for carrying in a coat pocket and it’s also been a good way of trying out all of the modes.īoth the lights are relatively small and whilst I can’t find fault with the quality of the rear light, the front isn’t really suitable for riding at speed in very dark conditions (e.g. The front Macro drive is also such a good light and size that I take in my pocket when I’m out walking when the light is fading or at night. I’ve yet to run out the charge on the front Macro Drive on a ride but when the rear Micro Drive is about to give up, it changes from a flashing pattern (my default choice for riding) to a solid red light until it goes flat. The Micro Drive rear even has a super bright mode for daylight riding but to be frank I’ve never felt the need for it as there simply hasn’t been enough sunshine to try it out.īoth lights have a clever feature where if you give the on button a quick press it gives you a flash of green/red to show you how much charge you have left. We’ve had rides were we’ve been split up by a climb and the Micro Drive rear light has been a beacon for those needing to catch up (really helpful if you’ve turned onto another lane. They’re compact, have a good run time and according to my riding companions they are more noticeably visible at a distance than up close, which is a real bonus when you’re riding with friends as they’re not getting blinded up close. I’ve even been stopped in the street by someone who wanted to know what lights they were so he could order some (he was also quite taken by my TK3) and that has never happened before in my years of riding.įor group riding in the winter, these are terrific. I have two regular riding buddies and both have now bought sets of the lights as well, as like me, they couldn’t help but be impressed by the Lezynes. They are powerful for their size and give a strong bright light from any of the multiple modes they offer. The real reason, they’re so great though (aside from the quality manufacturing and stylish design) is that as lights they work brilliantly. They’re rechargeable by USB socket ( using a USB to micro USB cable for the Macro Drive front light) and they feel like a Maglite in quality, which to me is high praise. The Lezyne’s are the first high quality lights I’ve used on my bike and quite simply I’ll never go back to the cheap ones – they’re that much better.įor a start they’re beautifully made with strong aluminium bodies and tough resin screw caps at the rear. It’s a time of year where lights are still very important and these are a terrific set for everyday use. Now that it’s starting to get a bit lighter in the mornings and evenings I’m still using these lights on every ride and anticipate doing so for a while yet before they get put away for dull days only. It is ideal to take with you as part of your standard cycling gear, so that you know you will never have to ride on a tyre that is too soft!

As the name suggests, you can put the Lezyne Pocket Drive in a saddle bag or back pocket.ĭespite its small size, the Pocket Drive can inflate your tyres up to 11 bar. This mini pump is ideal for cyclists who never actually get flat tyres yet like the certainty of having a pump at hand without having to carry a relatively large and heavy one on the frame. You can also use this Flex Hose to let air out of your tyre all you need to do is push a button. The pump has an ABS Flex Hose which is compatible with Presta and Schrader valves. The handle is ribbed for added grip while pumping. Despite its small size it does not compromise on performance its maximum pump pressure is no less than 11 bar! This pressure can be achieved because the pump is made of CNC machined aluminium. The Lezyne Pocket Drive is an extremely compact and lightweight mini bike pump.
