The Ultimate Stealth Bike Light? MagicShine EVO 1700 (Garmin Compatible)
Jon Bergmann
14 aprile 2024
The MagicShine EVO 1700 is a compact, powerful bike light designed to sit cleanly underneath your handlebars. It features a dual-purpose mount with a Garmin attachment on top and the light tucked below for a "stealth" look. While the light output and remote control are fantastic, the mounting hardware requires some patience to get right.
What I Liked:
The Remote Control: This is a standout feature; it allows you to change modes without taking your hands off the bars.Superior
Beam Pattern: It produces a clear "cut-off" line (bright on the bottom, dim on top) so you don't blind oncoming traffic.
Daytime Visibility: The flash mode is incredibly bright and effective for being seen during the day.
USB-C Charging: It’s well-sealed and easy to charge with a standard USB-C cable.
Potential Dealbreakers:
Mount Stability: The mount can be a bit flimsy and may move during rides. I had to add an extra rubber spacer and use the included Allen wrench to tighten it significantly to stop it from shifting. update - 1.5yrs later and the mount is still holding up
Remote Strap: The included Velcro strap for the remote was poor quality; I ended up replacing it with a better one to keep it secure.
Mounting Snap: The snap mechanism feels a bit "weird" and takes some getting used to when removing the light.Bottom Line:
If you want a clean cockpit and a powerful beam, the EVO 1700 is a great choice—just be prepared to do a little "DIY" tightening on the mount during your first few rides
