The latest one in black (one piece with cooling rings at the front.). Bloody brilliant and you're welcome to have a go of it if you need to try one? Nice 1 mate, is it the sigle led one you have, thats the one im thinking of getting, seems more that bright enough

Yep that's the one. Four of us use exactly the same lamps, makes for some great arguments about who's got the brightest etc as we're puffing and panting our way around Penmachno in the middle of the night. 1 LED is the joystick, 2 the Race and three the Maxx. The new MaxxD has 4 LED's and 960Lumens, gotta get me one of those. mtbman, you've gotta try a Joystick. I use a top o t range Petzl for fishing but out on the trail it just can't cut it. I'd probably have ordered one today but as I did a radiator on my Kwak last night I'm going to be £400 lighter next week.

I'm going for the joystick on the helmet and hope 2 on the bars. Pricey at £320 for the lot but don't want to miss out on another winters night riding.
I have got the joystick and the hopes are on order, but the joystick alone is very bright.

Made a decision last night, to use the bike to work this week, because of the forecast. So on went the slicks last night and prepared my backpack etc.
Woke up this morning at 6.30 and it was pitch black. I haven't got any lights yet, so I had to give the bike a miss. I really need to get myself a set now. Especially seeing the number of people who were cycling to workj this morning. Easily 10 times as many as usual. Has to be the weather.
I didn't realise that lighting was so expensive though.

Yeah I'm going to give the hopes one trail ride by themselves first to see what they are like before dispensing the cash - but if I do its the joystick I'll go for. carefull with the hope lights mate, if your going for stem mounted, be prepared to fork out another 50 orso quid for a hope or fsa stem if you havnt already got one. AND it will only go on a hope stem from when you buy it, if you have an fsa stem, you'll need to buy the adapter thats available!!

Tried and tested the joy stick on helmet. More than enough in my opinion.

Got mine from here taffy - ordered last wednesday and it arrived on sat. They have them in stock (the Maxx2 - 2009 model) www.shinybikes.com/bikes/use-exposure-joystick-maxx-2-2009.htmlJust been out with it locally tonight on the bars and its very impressive. revolution in bangor could get them next day as well. Just that its a 2hr there and back drive for me so the postage option was better for me.
