The £80 Cateye Sync Core 500-lumen front light and £60 Sync Kinetic 50-lumen rear are available on their own or as a set for £120. The trio is !nished o" by the round £50 Wearable 50-lumen rear that clips to your back or rucksack for maximum night-time visibility.

2 Get in Sync

The clue’s in the ‘Sync’ name. The Cateye Sync app allows you to synchronis­e all three lights so that they can all be activated using just the Core front light. The app also lets you customise the lights’ #ashing modes, view battery levels and sync the rear lights to #ash simultaneo­usly.

3 Take a brake

The Kinetic rear has six settings including a high-power, constant beam to #ashing mode. It also has a built-in accelerome­ter, which detects when you’re slowing down and then automatica­lly brightens the LEDs to warn riders and drivers behind that you’re braking.

4 Fronting up

The 109g Sync Core can be charged in three hours and has !ve settings. The daytime ‘HyperConst­ant’ function provides a claimed 18 hours of continuous illuminati­uon through either a 100-lumen constant beam or a 500lumen #ashing mode.
