The Lowdown: Fenix BC21R
The Fenix is a self-contained light from Fenix claiming 880 Lumens for an affordable price of $80. It features a field replaceable battery, thus allowing the rider as much run time as needed by carrying spare 18650 lithium batteries.
There is red side lighting available and there are cut-outs in the lens cap to give it good side visibility.
Additionally, Fenix prides itself in controlling the beam pattern well with a fairly distinct cut-off on the top and a secondary beam that illuminates the trail directly in front of the rider.
