The Fidlock PINCLIP front light, above or below the handlebar
Simply rotate the front light’s PINCLIP interface to mount it above or below the handlebar. Its Osram LED delivers 50 lux and 100 lumens, with a claimed visibility of 200 m. Fidlock’s manuals list three modes, at 50, 30 and 10 lux, for 5, 12 and 22 hours of run time.
Its 2,600 mAh battery is replaceable, but Fidlock asks that the job be left to a specialist dealer. Charging is via USB-C and takes 5 hours.
A rear light with a brake light
The rear light has a brake-light function and a non-replaceable 300 mAh battery, giving 5 hours of run time and 2 hours of charging. It comes with a seatpost mount and an adapter for the PINCLIP saddle base. Both lights comply with the German StVZO standard, but the rear light’s manual excludes saddle mounting from that compliance.
Price and availability
The front and rear set is listed at €79.99 including VAT on Fidlock’s online shop, excluding shipping, with delivery in 1 to 3 working days. Lights sold separately are planned.
