Bottom line
Knog’s Blinder Road 400 is a front bike light with four modes and high and low settings. It fits 22–35mm round and aero handlebars. Owners and testers deem it sturdy and easy to use, but some say the mounting clip is fragile. The eye-catching flashing patterns are considered effective in urban settings, but the light isn't bright enough for high-speed rides in unlit areas. Short run times also limit this light's utility. Overall, testers consider the Knog Blinder Road 400 a good be-seen light but say similar, cheaper lights offer better value.Expert Reviews
