6 reasons not to buy
- The 12,000-lumen mode will blind other road and trail users and should be used carefully.
- The battery is heavy (31.6oz) and bulky, and may not fit on certain frames with water bottle cages.
- Experts complain that installing and removing the mount is time-consuming.

Bottom line
The Magicshine Monteer 12000 is a front bike light with a wireless remote and 10 modes (customizable via the companion app). The light mount fits handlebars between 28mm to 35mm, and Magicshine includes a helmet mount. Experts praise the battery life. However, the battery is very heavy at 2lb. Testers complain about the need to pair the wireless remote every time the light is disconnected from the battery. Experts recommend double-checking fit before purchase. The battery and mount may not fit some bikes, especially e-bikes with bar-mounted displays. Overall, the Monteer 12000 is considered an excellent option for mountain or gravel biking, but it’s overkill for road cycling or commuting.Expert Reviews
