ive just bought a hope r2 and i’m very impressed.
the long and short is that i’ve had solarstorms, 20quid i think, for a few years and its fine but i’m doing a 10mile nightime coastal path run in a few weeks and i wanted a better head torch than my usual alpkit one.
google searches past the petzls etc led me too fellrunning forums going on about the hopes. that they come with bar mount, head mount and helmet mounts was an added plus, and as i wanted a light for my road bike too it seemed ideal… especially at 115quid delivered from winstanleys.
anyhow, i’ve run with it and it really is daylight running with the low race setting being perfect. combined with a
hope district rear it will be brilliant for road cycling and i’m quite sure its bright enough for all the mtb i would want. lovely bit of kit. i’m a bit of a convert now after saying for years that cheap chinese is the way to go plus i’m not a little scared like before everytime i charge it that it might explode!!!
