7 reasons to buy

- Reviewers praise the attention-grabbing flash patterns.
- The FR160 has a wrap-around lens to increase side-on visibility.

- 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.BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy.
