Ravemen FR160/TR20 Lights

Gravel racing is starting to impose new rules intended to improve rider safety. Typically, gravel races are on open roads and usually have minimal road closures or crossing assistance. Though, most gravel races are in rural areas with little traffic, usually there are not many cars on these gravel roads.

A key safety feature that required by race promotors is that riders must use front and rear lights. But some races only require a rear light and front ones being optional. To meet these requirements and for my own safety I was in search of a bright front a rear light.

Besides a bright light that helps make me more visible, I am looking for a compact light that is lightweight too. Other features required are that the lights last up to 10 hours or more, have secure mounting systems, not be very bulky or heavy, and not occupy any space on the handlebars for the front light.

I am not typically a weight weenie, and I am a heavier rider, saving weight for races is important to me and I know it is important to people.

The front light is a bit more of a challenge than a rear light. Mounting to the seatpost or seat stays is quite simple and is not an issue with taking up space.

Most headlight are very bright, and only last about 1.5-2 hours on the bright setting and 3-4 hours on a flashing mode. These styles of headlights are too heavy and bulky for daytime use and racing. Thus, I am only looking for blinky lights and not a light for nighttime visibility.

A lot of the front lights on the market are bulky and take up valuable handlebar real estate and I wanted a light that would allow me to use my GoPro on my K-Edge out front mount.
