Night Riders? Who / Where are you?

SAY What????
I dont think Ruffy intended this post to be about lights, but what the heck..
If your going to post stuff you should at least know what your talking about..
TT is a great co and has good lights
There are some very important diff. between the cyclops and TT product both put out close to the same amount of light..
Cyclops is the only lighting manufacture that supports EVERY 24 hr race in AM and Canada. we travel to every 24 hr from Alabama to WA
our lights have won the Baja, 24 hrs of Perry mtn, Glen Helen, GOLDENDALE, the tough one,Last man standing,ETC. ETC..
We also support and advertise on Snow West..
We also will bend over backwards to support our customers..and are based out of WA st..
Sorry for the rant. It just amazes me that guys will post up crap that they have really no knowledge of.
Whatever light you use .. just do it .. get out and ride!!!

Easy Friend. You do not know who I am or what I do or do not know about Trailtech. You made accusations and implied several things that were not necessary.

I agree with you though. Just get some good lights and have a great night ride!

I didn't realize you were local in WA. I'm in the market for a light and will definitely support a local company.

What are your thoughts on the LED light, compared to the HID? The longer battery life, bulb life, and wide light pattern seem like a big plus, but they historically just don't cut it when it comes to distance.

True I don't know who you are.But I have a pretty good idea. I did not knock TT in any way, in fact I'm a dist for them as well..and sell a lot of their stuff. Great products..
I don't see any accusations, just setting the record straight.. Cyclops has put more into supporting races and racers than all the other lighting companies combined..That has not come cheap or easy...
Perhaps I could have handled it better. We are very passionate about what we are doing and translate that to our customers and dealers..
Plugging them was great, saying they have won every race was not quite accurate.. I do apologize for allowing my feathers to get ruffled..
The dont know crap comment was uncalled for..

LEDs are coming along but have a long way to go to compete with the Cyclops or Trail tech mr16 based HIDs.. as the LEDs get better and provide more light they also consume more power and produce more heat..
We offer a few different versions now with another coming out this spring..

I checked out the HID Cyclops helmet light. Wow, 350 bucks! Too expensive for me in these tough times.
I think I'll be buying a Lead Dog, and just plug it in for around 80 bucks. My riding bud has one, and it will work just fine for me.

cyclops and lead dog both make the more inexpensive halogen helmet lights. FYI, any helmet light is going to be much cheaper if you wire it to your sled instead of getting the battery pack. Though, you need the battery pack for HID if you do not have a good dc source (battery).

No doubt the times are tough out there.. Cyclops offers more helmet mounted models than any other manufacture..One light is not best for all riders..
the halogen helmetlights are very tough, lifetime warrantied and 50 watts...any halogen light will run from ac or dc power..
Buy whatever works for you.. but do get out and enjoy some night rides..
