Bike Size Charts

BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Fenix BC06R. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

8 reasons to buy

  • Reviewers say the BC06R is easy for other road users to see, even in bright sunlight.
  • The BC06R acts as a brake light by momentarily increasing the brightness to 90 lumens.
  • This light offers good side-on visibility.
  • The BC06R comes with two mounts: one for seatposts and one for saddles. A tester says the seatpost strap feels durable.
  • The quarter-turn attachment allows the light to be detached without removing the mount.
  • The BC06R is waterproof.
  • This light remembers the last mode used.
  • The BC06R is covered by a limited lifetime warranty.

2 reasons not to buy

  • Fenix claims the BC06R lasts 5.5 hours on the steady High mode, but a tester only gets 4.5 hours.
  • A tester feels the brake light is too bright for use on group rides, but it can’t be turned off.

Bottom line

The Fenix BC06R is a rear bike light with seven modes and two brightness levels: 10 or 30 lumens. The BC06R also acts as a brake light that temporarily flashes 90 lumens. This feature cannot be turned off, and one tester thinks it's too bright for group rides. Fenix provides seatpost and saddle mounts. Reviewers praise its visibility, even in bright sunlight. They also appreciate the ease of use. One test shows run times fall short of Fenix's claims. Nonetheless, experts consider the feature-rich BC06R good value.

Justin Simoni as: THE LONG RANGER

Fenix BC06R Rechargeable Bike Tail Light

The Fenix BC06R makes an excellent road and commuter rear light. It’s bright enough for day use, and the run times have options that should last for all-day rides.
