Magicshine EVO 1700 Bike Headlight Beam Cutoff Review - feat. USC-C + GoPro Mount + Wireless Remote

The new Magicshine EVO 1700 combines a powerful 1700 lumen output with an aspherical anti-glare lens design. It’s part of an exciting trend in the bike light market with the move toward high power bike lights with beam cutoffs. Although the Magicshine EVO 1700 isn’t an StVZO certified light, it lets you enjoy the same optimized optics and ensures cyclists or other oncoming traffic won’t be blinded by your light. Despite the 1700 lumen output and beam cutoff design, the EVO 1700 has an affordable $ retail price. Magicshine has also incorporated a unique top-mounted GoPro mount to allow the light to be mounted on the underside of out-front-mounts. Additionally, the EVO 1700 features a wireless remote and the ability to customize modes via the Magicshine app. Magicshine has specifically designed the EVO 1700 to be mounted underneath out-front mounts. The GoPro adapter has been incorporated into the housing of the light and allows the angle of the light to easily be adjusted. Given the larger size of the light, this mount design makes a lot of sense and keeps your handlebars clear of clutter. One of the clever features of this mounting design is that the light can easily be removed from the GoPro adapter. Rather than removing a bolt or thumbscrew from the GoPro adapter you can push down the textured release button on the top of the light to release the GoPro attachment piece. This leaves the GoPro adapter attached to the out-front mount and lets you easily install or remove the light within seconds. Visually, the EVO 1700 has an unusual square shape that is reminiscent of retro CRT TV’s particularly when you flip it upside down. This is a big light as the aspherical lens takes up significantly more room than simple TIR (total internal reflection) style lenses. Instead of the typical black housing, Magicshine has used a white and gray color scheme that looks pretty slick. There are some angled graphics on the sides with EVO 1700 printed on it with Magicshine on the other side. The rear of the light has a rounded gray shape that helps disguise the size of the light. There is a large 4000 mAh battery integrated inside the housing with a USB-C charging port on the right side of the light. A chrome ring around the lens adds some additional character to the light and adds to the retro-tv appearance... ...
