Something New and Powerful for 2025

Are you a night owl who thrives on the thrill of after-dark adventures? Do you dream of conquering South Africa's legendary endurance events like The 36ONE MTB Challenge, Trans Baviaans, The Munga, Munga Grit Tankwa? Or maybe you just love pushing your limits on those fun mid-week night rides at your local MTB track?

Then get ready to illuminate the darkness with the Knog Blinder X range, launching soon at Eat Sleep Cycle!

These aren't your average bike lights. We're talking serious lumens and unrivaled battery life designed for riders who demand the best. Choose between two powerhouses:

  • Blinder X 2300: Unleash a blinding 2300 lumens to turn night into day. This is the ultimate weapon for riders who want maximum visibility and terrain illumination, crucial for navigating the technical descents of the Trans Baviaans or the relentless climbs of The Munga.
  • Blinder X 1800: Packing a still-impressive 1800 lumens, this model offers a perfect balance of power and efficiency for those long hauls, ideal for pacing yourself through the 36ONE or tackling the vastness of the Munga Grit Tankwa.

Double the Power, Double the Visibility:

Mount one Blinder X on your handlebars and another on your helmet for the ultimate night-time setup. This dual illumination not only boosts your visibility – essential for those long stretches of open road in the Munga Grit Tankwa – but also provides unparalleled depth perception and trail awareness, crucial for navigating rocky trails at speed.

Engineered for Endurance:

  • Lightweight Champion: At just 125 grams, the Blinder X head unit won't weigh you down, while the 350-gram battery can be conveniently mounted on your top tube or stashed in your saddlebag. Every gram counts when you're pushing your limits in ultra-endurance events.
  • Cool Under Pressure: Specialized optics and heatsinks ensure efficient thermal management, preventing overheating and maintaining consistent performance even during extended use. No matter how intense the challenge, the Blinder X won't let you down.
  • Control at Your Fingertips: Operate your Blinder X with ease using the included handlebar or helmet-mounted buttons. No more fumbling for buttons on the light itself – keep your focus on the trail ahead, whether you're battling fatigue in the early hours of the 36ONE or chasing the sunrise in the Munga Grit Tankwa. They allow easy on/off and mode control.

Why the Blinder X is perfect for South African endurance riders:

  • Reliability is king: When you're miles from civilization, deep in the heart of the Karoo, you need gear you can trust. The Blinder X delivers consistent performance, night after night.
  • Longevity matters: Multi-day events like The Munga and Munga Grit Tankwa demand serious battery power. The Blinder X's swappable battery system keeps you going strong, even when the going gets tough.
  • Performance is paramount: Whether you're navigating technical singletrack, flying across gravel plains, or tackling challenging climbs, the Blinder X provides the illumination you need to stay safe and fast, no matter the terrain or the time of day.
