Description:
The MaXx series of lights is a set of self-contained light systems from Exposure Lights in the UK. The Enduro has three LEDs and the Race MaXx has two. Both share the same case which about the size of two D-Cell batteries. The machining is impeccable and the laser etching is both attractive and informative. These lights set out to achieve a compact package, light weight, long run-time and a bright, clear beam pattern.
For 2009, Exposure stepped it up and added a 4-LED light called the MaXx D. It is slightly bigger than the Enduro MaXx but it shares the same run-time values of 3 hours on full power. The brightness rating is up to 960 lumens now.

Mounting Options:
The MaXx D is mounted on the handlebar using a neat little cleat system shared with the Enduro and the Race MaXx. It is very small and light at 20 grams. And it allows for left to right a up/down adjustments. It is perhaps the most innovative handlebar light mount available today. The only downside is the handlebar mount is a bit sharp when there is no light attached to it.
