  • Lots of mixed feedback to its release but no real reviews yet - The Igaro peeps have been pretty responsive to me but there are some weird quirks positive and negative
    Rain cover for the USB ports doesn't work if lying the bike sideways overnight or riding without fenders
    No manual switches
    A pretty janky aesthetic...
    Also it's £420 without mounts :D

    The draw however is it conceivably has really good if not market leading lighting characteristics and USB charging quality in one package

  • Rain cover for the USB ports doesn't work

    That's a possible deal breaker. Water ingress killing a light (or even just the charging) is unacceptable.

    "janky aesthetic" is how I roll though. (I still have a prototype Igaro)

    £420 without mounts

    That's heading towards klite pricing (I wonder how much klite cost in AUD?)

  • Yeah, in their defense the PCB and USB charging section is replaceable (although would not want it to fail mid expedition) - but I don't know why they didn't just have a rubber grommet/door also

    For my use hopefully it wouldn't matter as I'd run it above a handlebar roll taking up most of the spray, either on the stem mounts or a DrJ0n mission deck

    Tbh I've just talked myself round into keeping the Supernova set above. I'll just Son Coax junction box it and have supplementary battery lights
