Bicycle lights

Front and rear bike lights

As a cyclist, you'll be out on the road, sharing the road with other road users. To ensure everyone's safety, you need to equip your two-wheeler with a few essentials, including front and rear lighting.

Front lighting

The two types of lighting are distinct and have their own functionalities. At the front, the lighting has headlight properties. In other words, it's designed to illuminate the roadway and provide optimum visibility for the cyclist, who can see the road perfectly well.

Rear bike lighting

Bike lights on the rear of your two-wheeler are mainly used to warn other road users of your presence. Usually red in color, this light met makes you stand out, thanks to its intense brightness and reflective properties. In short, the headlights of vehicles behind you highlight your rear lighting. We should point out that most of the models available from DECATHLON are modular, and can feature a fixed light as well as a flashing one.

Where and how to install bike lighting?

For optimum efficiency, it's essential to install your bike lights correctly. Depending on the model you choose, there are several possibilities. As a general rule, the rear light should be mounted on the seatpost, while the front light should be mounted on the handlebars.

Depending on the lighting model, installation is likely to vary. From elastic fasteners to screw-on products, there are several options to choose from. Note that the latter are generally more robust, ensuring optimum hold in place even on rough roads.
