My ayups are >2 years old,I use them twice a week and travel on my local trails at normal speed. All my issue with the old ones have been sorted with the new design my mates have.
I've asked the guys in UK ayup a couple of questions via email this last year and they have responded fast with good news. Eg. 30% off new batteries to replace the old ones, not that I need to yet.

Another vote for ay-ups, had mine 3 years, narrow on helmet and wide on bars and they have survived the Bonty 24-12, CLIC24 and Set2Rise along with the weekly night ride and winter commuting. So had some hammer including me landing on them at least twice with no problems.

Mine are now 2 years old. Bought them in Oz from the shop.

Prior to that I have spent a fortune on lights, basically getting a new set each year.

The great thing about the AyUps is that they are a system, and it works really well.

OK, cut and paste quote, but exactly the same applies here. I'm really pleased with mine.

Getting a bit repetitious but:

'Older' AyUps for three winters, used fairly frequently for MTB and daily for commuting. I prefer the helmet mounting over the Joystick as I can mount the laps well forward (just above the visor), the batteries on the back and the overall height of the helmet is the same. I run the cable between inside the helmet, and hence no snagging risk.

I'm about to get the light units upgraded with XPG emitters and revised optics; you can get this done by AyUp but requires return to Oz (they reckon 10day turnaround).

I do find they don't produce the overall levels of light that say Trouties offerings do, however I don't have 'shadowing' problems from mates lights as I'm always too far off the back of the group...

Overall, v. happy.
