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 contact@bikeride.com with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

This light remembers the last mode used.

4 reasons not to buy

Testers complain about the rubber mounting strap, saying the light can shift over rough terrain.
The Plugger has a below-average run time of 1.5 hours at its max brightness.
Reviewers say the side cutouts are too small, letting out very little light.
The light’s straight, narrow beam offers minimal side illumination.

Bottom line

The Knog Plugger is a 350-lumen front bike light with five modes. Owners praise the build quality, but there aren't any long-term testers to determine durability. The light is waterproof, and owners say it's easy to operate. The mounting strap may fit loosely on handlebars at either side of the 22mm to 32mm range. The Plugger side-on visibility is limited, the beam is narrow, and the run time at max brightness is underwhelming. Nonetheless, it's sufficient as a be-seen front light, but experts question its value.
