Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Ravemen FR160. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

7 reasons to buy

  • The FR160 fits Garmin, Wahoo, and Bryton mounts, so a separate mount isn't required.
  • This light can mount at the top or bottom of an out-front bicycle computer mount. This design frees up handlebar space and declutters cockpits.
  • Testers and owners agree the FR160 is bright enough to be seen during the day.
  • Reviewers praise the attention-grabbing flash patterns.
  • The FR160 has a wrap-around lens to increase side-on visibility.
  • The FR160 is waterproof. One expert tests it on wet off-road terrain without any water ingress.
  • This light remembers the last mode used.

3 reasons not to buy

  • Some owners say the light stops working or holding a charge after a year or less of use. Several contact Ravemen and receive a replacement.
  • Numerous owners who had their bike computers mounted to the top of this light say the female Garmin insert in the light broke while riding over bumpy terrain and their computers fell off.
  • Bigger bike computers may obstruct the mode button if the computer is mounted on top of the light.

Bottom line

The Ravemen FR160 is a front bike light that's compatible with Garmin computers and mounts, as well as (with optional inserts) Wahoo and Bryton. It has six modes and remembers the last one used. Experts praise the eye-catching flash modes and deem the FR160 an effective be-seen light for day or night. Some owners complain that their computers fell off when the insert broke over rough terrain. Others had the light fail after less than a year, while noting that Ravemen replaced the faulty light. Overall, testers and owners are confident the "clever" Ravemen FR160 is worth the money.
