Engineered and manufactured in Great Britain, the Exposure Race Mk9 Headlight is the product of a small group of utterly obsessed engineers and designers whose sole mission is to create the world's most advanced bike lighting systems. While not as heavy-duty as its big brothers, the Toro and the MaXx-D, the Race headlight is still astonishingly bright, light, and compact, making it your ideal companion for 24-hour team events or high-paced nighttime excursions.
It'd be easy to go on about the beautifully CNC-machined and laser-etched body, but let's start with a number: 1200. That's the quantity of lumens that the Race Mk9 is capable of producing via its 2 XML LEDs. Consider that most car headlamps produce around 800 lumens, and you should be impressed, especially considering how small and light (an incredible 191 grams on the scales) the Race Mk9 is. Toggling those LEDs are various programmable light functions, available via the Optimized Mode Selector. An interface called Capacitive Switching means that the entire backcap of the light acts as a touch-sensitive button, making the changing of those modes easy, even if you're wearing thick winter gloves. And our favorite lighting feature? Reflex Technology, an intricate series of accelerometers and yaw sensors, not only accurately assesses your speed, but also your angle of travel. While trudging uphill, for example, the light is smart enough to reduce its beam, keeping your field of vision bright while conserving battery power and reducing the unit's heat output. Pointed downhill, the light will feel you rocketing over the steep terrain and open floodgates to light the way at full blast.
You'd probably think the Race Mk9 comes with a clunky external battery and dangling cable that you'll have to awkwardly tape or zip-tie to your frameset somehow, but you'd be wrong. Hiding behind the collimated lens that precisely disperses an even beam pattern, the Race, like all Exposure lights, efficiently utilizes a compact, rechargeable internal Li-ion battery. Being entirely self-contained, it's a far brighter and lighter torch than almost anything else nearly as bright. The OLED Status Display, or OLS, not only gives a battery life countdown, it displays program and mode information, and while charging, lets you know precisely how much more time you'll need until the light is fully charged.
The Exposure Race Mk9 Headlight comes in one size and one color only. It is rechargeable via included USB cable, and the light includes a quick-release handlebar mount that can accommodate virtually any handlebar diameter.
