Does anyone have any real world experience of this? Quite tempted as it looks good but not much user info out there
I’ve had one since they came out. Absolutely brilliant. In combination with a helmet light, you can do anything at night you can in the day; drops, jumps, enduro racing, whatever you fancy. I use their bigger battery and my stamina would run out before it does. 🙂
They do a Monteer 12000 now, not sure I could live with just 3500 knowing that 🙂
George - I have to consider my fellow riders 🤣
Far as I can tell its not a 3500 lm light, its more like 1800 flood and 1400 spot combine to give the max light, or at least how it registers.
I recently bought a 8000 v2 expecting to be blown away by it but was in honesty a bit underwhelmed (admittedly I only ever use handlebar mounted lights individually and without a helmet light).
I bought this after running a Gloworm XSV 3600 which went back for warranty on the battery which Gloworm have now fixed and returned.
Whilst I never tested them side by side I did not feel the light was any better on the 8000 than the Gloworm, additionally too many modes which were just plain confusing and the remote extremely fiddly to get properly secured (which I never managed).
If it was me I would get the Gloworm which can be picked up for just over £200 on wiggle/CRC at the mo (assuming you are comfortable with that)....love mine

If I was spending circa £200 on a light at the moment, (which I've just done), I'd be adding £30 and getting the Maxx D Mk13. It exudes quality and funcionality and spits out 4000lm in Reflex mode. And no separate battery
Just watch out for the exposure brackets wearing down over time ultimately leading to light pinging into the undergrowth and leaving you walking down hill off t'moor in the dark
I had that the other night - user error, I hadn't properly locked my bike onto the bracket, landing a double into a hard left berm, light pinged off, spun in the air, and blinded me as I landed
