GR1 Front Bike Light
2 year warranty · Personal support
Great vision. No cables. From road miles and gravel adventures to daily commutes and trail rides, the GR1 brings our approach to better lighting to a compact light with its own battery.
- A wide, smooth beam helps you see the road or trail ahead and the edges around you
- 1,300 lumens with a built in battery and USB-C charging
- Quick release bar mounting included, with more options for your helmet or bike
Any road. Any trail. Anytime.
The GR1’s wide, smooth beam lights the road or trail ahead and into your periphery. That wider view helps you spot hazards and have better speed and spatial awareness.
Commuting. On the bars.
Gravel. On the bars.
Trails. On the bars and helmet.
“amazing trail coverage- wide throw of light and no muddy/blurred edges”

Our experience designing professional outdoor lighting shapes the GR1’s beam. We design around what people need to see, so you can read the road or trail and ride with confidence. Explore our lighting background
More riding. Less fuss.
Slide on. Head out.
The included handlebar mount lets you slide the GR1 into place until it clicks. Release it when you want to charge it or take it with you.
A cable free light
There’s no separate battery to carry or cable to route. Charge through USB-C and check the battery indicator before you head out.
Your ride. Your setup.
The included action camera adapter opens up more mounting options. Add compatible helmet mounts or a stem spacer mount to suit the way you ride.
Commuter friendly beam
See the road or trail ahead and help others see you without dazzling them.
GR1 beam with a cutoff
A wide, smooth beam lights the road or trail farther ahead. The cutoff keeps the brightest part of the beam below the eyes of oncoming riders, pedestrians and drivers, so they can see you coming with less glare and frustration.
Common beam without a cutoff
A beam without a cutoff shines directly into the eyes of people coming toward you. That glare makes it easy for them to know you're there, while also making it hard for them to see anything else. Glare like this tends to reduce safety, especially if the glare is in the eyes of a driver or other rider. In outdoor lighting, we call this disability glare. It’s the same effect you notice when bright oncoming headlights make the road harder to see.
Get to know the GR1
The thinking behind the light.
Design and technology
The GR1 takes inspiration from the beam of our flagship MB6 and puts it into a compact, cable free light for road, gravel, commuting and trails.
See more than a bright spot.
The wide, uniform beam lights the surface ahead, road shoulders and trail edges together. Smooth transitions help you read changing surfaces without harsh bright and dark patches. A horizontal cutoff helps reduce glare for oncoming riders, pedestrians and drivers.
Simple controls. Light for the moment.
- Choose low, medium or high with a single button.
- Double press while riding to go straight to high, then press once to return to your previous mode.
- Daytime flash uses an irregular 500 lumen pulse to help you stand out in traffic.
- Mode memory returns to the setting you used last.
Construction and support
Designed and tested in coastal British Columbia, the GR1 is built for wet commutes, dark backroads and muddy trails.
- A machined aluminum housing provides strength and manages heat.
- IPX6 protection keeps rain and road spray out (close the USB-C cover securely after charging).
- Temperature protection makes sure the light never gets too hot.
We back the GR1 with a two year warranty and personal support. If you need help, get in touch and we’ll help you get riding again.
The trails of our local Jordie Lunn Bike Park are etched into the side of the light. A little reminder of where we ride and test.
Power and mounting
The built in 5,000 mAh battery keeps the GR1 self contained. Charge it through USB-C in under three hours. The button flashes red while charging and turns green when it’s ready.
Press the button while the light is off to check the battery indicator. Travel lock helps prevent it turning on in your bag.
The adjustable handlebar mount is included. Slide the light in until it clicks, then aim the beam roughly parallel to the ground. The mount adjusts vertically and horizontally to suit your bars.
Use the included action camera adapter with compatible mounts for more options. Our helmet mount kit, helmet strap mount and stem spacer mount are available separately.
