Magicshine HORI 900 Compact Bike Front Headlight Review - feat. Dual Mounting + Sharp Beam Cutoff
The Sweet Cyclists
11. August 2025
As a road cyclist or commuter you want a lightweight and daytime visible headlight that is also powerful enough to light up the road in low visibility conditions. Magicshine’s new HORI series of lights was specifically designed to satisfy these constraints by combining an anti-glare lens with a compact form factor. With a retail price of only $59.99, the HORI 900 is one of Magicshine’s smallest headlights. Despite the small size, the light puts out 900 lumens out of a dual lens which has an anti-glare main lens as well as DRLS for daytime riding. The HORI 900 is also compatible with Magicshine’s FTR LightSync Controller which lets you control the headlight and a compatible taillight with a single remote.
One of the unique features of the HORI lights is the dual-sided Garmin mounts along with an additional Wahoo top plate. Out of the box, you have a standard mail top Garmin mount on the top side as well as a female mount on the top and a male one on the bottom. That means you can mount the light below an out-front mount or even between a computer and a mount. This design is very similar to the sandwich style lights like the Ravemen FR160 or KOM Cycling Quick Release lights but it’s more powerful. Magicshine offers the HORI light separately or with their out-front mounts if you don’t already own one. If you mount the light underneath an out front mount you’ll likely need a to use the GoPro to Garmin adapter which adds a bit of height but lets you adjust the angle of the light. The light also comes with a Wahoo adapter that can be swapped on the top of the headlight by removing one bolt. You can also swap the male Garmin bottom mount and place it on top and cover the bottom hole with the provided cover piece.
Visually, the Magicshine HORI 900 has a compact all-in-one form factor with a compact battery integrated into it. It’s one of the smallest headlights that Magicshine has which makes it perfect for road cyclists or commuters as it won’t clutter your handlebars. The size is approximately 1” x 2” x 2.25” (58 x 50 x 32 mm) for the metal body without taking the mounts into account. It is a nearly square light with beveled edges and a rounded rear section for additional clearance. Magicshine has added glossy black accent lines along the sides along with simple HORI 900 branding on the sides. There is an illuminated power button on the left side that shows the current battery status along with a matching rectangular rubber cover on the other side to protect the USB-C port....
