Bike Size Charts

BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Bottom line

The Magicshine ALLTY 2500S is a 2500-lumen front bike light with eight modes. The light’s sturdy aluminum exterior, mounting options, and remote button earn praise from testers. Modes are customizable in the Magicshine app, but the app is buggy and too frustrating to use. This light is bright enough for night trail riding at elevated speeds, and batteries are swappable for longer rides. Unfortunately, additional batteries are expensive. Overheating is also a concern at max output. Overall, experts feel the Magicshine ALLTY 2500S offers reasonable value, but is "badly let down" by the app.
