SYNC Core Front

The SYNC Core Front light takes charge of activating and monitoring all other lights in the system, which means you can keep your eyes fixed where they should be – on the road ahead.

‘If I’m riding along and I hear a truck coming up, I always want to check behind and make sure my tail lights are on,’ says Brown. ‘Now if there’s anything wrong with the whole system, I can tell just by looking at the indicator on the button of the Core front light.’

Even when used on its own, the unit is impressive. It has a 500-lumen output, and an Opticube lens makes the most of this by providing a wide and clear beam ahead of the rider, along with enhanced side-on visibility.

Other useful features include a mode memory function allowing you to return straight to the last mode used, while a double-click of the light’s button instantly brings up its highest output setting. However, when power runs low, its battery auto-save function switches to a lower output automatica­lly, helping you reach home safely.
