The Macro Drive light’s durable CNC-machined aluminum construction ensures it will withstand any wear and tear from outdoor cycling adventures. The clever design includes two high-output LEDs and an enhanced MOR optical reflection lens for optimized illumination that offers built-in side visibility—an essential safety feature on any road or trail environment.
