Blinder Leading the Rider

Australian bike light maker Knog has produced many taillights to allow bikers to be seen, but now the company is introducing the Blinder Road lights, which deliver a 200 lumen front beam that lets riders see where the are going. The company is also upping the taillights with a new 70 lumen strobe.

The new lights are compact, USB rechargeable and waterproof and will have an integrated silicone package with an anodized aluminum face. While 200 lumens will be enough for the Blinder to light the way it proves lighting the way doesn’t need to be blinding.

The Knog Party Coil features an 8mm steel braided cable over a fiber core, making for a lock that is flexible yet resistant to cutting. So for those who need to lock up for just a few minutes it might be time Party down.

Knog U-Lock Protects You and Your Bike

Knog has already impressed us with a few products including bicycle lights, but now the company from down under has some bicycle locks that look like they’d be tough enough for just about any American or Australian city – and probably just about anywhere else short of an actual warzone.

U-locks tend to have weak points that make them easy to break, but the Knog Strongman features a silicone-molded steel frame that passed the Gold Standard for the security-testing firm, Sold Secure. In the company’s own in-house rating it was found that the Strongman was strong indeed – and could be used as a hitch to lift a car. Actually to the company it has a security rating of 90 out of 100, and features a 13mm hardened steel shackle, UV resistant silicone body and high security disc style lock cylinder.

Knog have been going strong for several years making silicon bicycle lights, and the company has unveiled its new set of USB rechargeable lights, under its Blinder brand. There will be new models – the 1 and 4 – that will be encased in metal and silicon, meaning these will be both watertight and bright as the lights will feature either a single LED or four LEDs respectively. And because these are factory-sealed they will be totally waterproof and even submersible – not that we can figure out why anyone would put them underwater.

The Blinder 4 will put out 80 lumens of white light for the front or 44 lumens of red light in the rear, and while the front will have enough illumination to guide the way the point is still “to be seen” more than to act as a headlamp. The Blinder 1 will still put out 20 lumens to the front, along with 11 to the rear. Continue reading Knog Recharges USB Line for 2013
