3 reasons not to buy
- Users must re-pair the EVO 1700SD to Di2 if it's not used for 48 hours.

Bottom line
The Magicshine EVO 1700SD is a front bike light for an out-front bike computer mount. Mounting requires a GoPro adapter (not included). This light pairs with Shimano's Di2 system (except 105) and is controlled using the satellite shifters. This light is deemed sufficient as a standalone light for unlit roads and gravel trails. Experts praise the beam cut-off and ease of toggling modes. Pairing it with Di2 feels easy to one but "fiddly" to another. The light must be re-paired after 48 hours of inactivity. Overall, experts recognize the EVO 1700SD appeals to a limited audience, but a more versatile non-Di2 version is available.Expert Reviews
