  • Lezyne Macro drive 800XL for £55 , good deal? Is the Power Drive 1100XL for £75 worth the extra? Need to replace my current one as it doesn't hold charge for very long anymore, and also isn't really bright enough to light up country lanes.

    Anything around the price bracket I should think about instead? Must be usb rechargable because cba with batteries, and easy to swap between bikes with no tools.

  • Further to this, has anyone got any opinions on Lezyne in general? Build quality/battery life/runtimes/bar mount etc? Clocks go back soonish and need to sort out some better lighting.

  • Few days late, but: I've got the Deca Drive 1500 and rate it pretty highly, (except the power level indicator operates more like run-time indicator). The main benefit of going bigger is the extended battery life rather than increased output. I run mine on 250lumen 'economy' mode 99% of the time (commute is 20mins urban, 40mins country lanes each way) and can get 8 hours or so out of it. For comparison 250 lumen on the 800 will only get you 5 hours.

    edit: Looking at their website, the 1100 only gives you 450 or 150 lumen options which don't balance power/battery well at all.
