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.

6 reasons not to buy
- Experts consider the B2 a poor choice for commuters as it doesn’t have beam cut-off to prevent it from blinding other road users.
- This light is heavy. An owner feels the mount isn’t strong enough to support its weight.
- Experts and owners question the “fiddly” mount’s security over bumpy off-road terrain, two say it moves, and another reports it falling off.
- The plastic lens is more susceptible to scratching than glass.
- The B2 only lasts one minute in Turbo mode (1300 lumens) before lowering to 600 lumens to prevent overheating.

Bottom line
The Wuben B2 is a front light with six modes ranging from 200 to 1300 lumens. It only lasts one minute at max brightness before dropping to 600 lumens. Reviewers and owners praise the ease of use, long beam reach, and swappable batteries. However, without beam cut-off, it’s unsuitable for commuting in high-traffic areas. Owners feel the mount isn’t secure enough for proper trail riding, and testers complain that the plastic lens is scratch-prone. While experts and buyers consider the Wuben B2 a good budget headlight, its drawbacks limit its application to rural road rides and light off-roading.Expert Reviews
