Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Knog Frog Front. In summary, this is what cyclists think. Published Feb 06, 2025 by Rachel Rushing.

5 reasons to buy

  • Owners appreciate the Frog’s nine modes.
  • Reviewers say the lens shape ensures good side-on visibility.
  • Testers praise the eye-catching flashing patterns.
  • The Frog mounts on handlebars or frame tubing up to 32mm in diameter.
  • The sticky silicone casing keeps the light firmly in place when mounted.

3 reasons not to buy

  • Several owners report issues shortly after purchase, such as the silicone detaching from the lens and a broken button.
  • The battery indicator is only visible when the light is off, making it difficult to determine charge status while riding.
  • An expert says the small button is difficult to locate and press while wearing gloves.

Bottom line

The Knog Frog Front is a 40-lumen be-seen headlight with nine modes. It's rechargeable, but the USB-C cable isn't included. It fits handlebars or tubing 22.2mm to 32mm. Owners and testers praise the choice of modes, eye-catching flashing patterns, and good side-on visibility. Unlike real frogs, the Knog Frog can't be submerged in water. The silicone casing provides grip, but some find it's easily breakable, and the small button is hard to locate with gloves. While experts say the Frog does a good job as a be-seen front light, one feels it's overpriced.

Level 1 expert

This new light I bought is I think it’s better to use it as a safety light, to get people to notice you, rather than just to make them aware of you.

New From Knog: Blinder R-150, Blinder Link and New Frogs! [Polish]

Frogs shine surprisingly brightly for their size, COB LED technology, gives huge possibilities for visualizing transitions and blinking light.
