Hey guys,
Just a quick note to say; these lights are awesome!!
I use them on the daily commute but they really come into their own on the trails – even the techy stuff! All who see them can’t believe the power that comes from such a neat and lightweight set-up. I’ve done the Facebook ‘like’ and will recommend them to anyone who will listen!
Cheers
Sir/ma’am, I don’t do many reviews, but when I come across an AMAZING product I feel compelled to do justice…I will say hands down these lights are OUTSTANDING from the packaging to the shipping. As far as the functionality, design and the ease (ok somewhat) ease of installation is also top-notch. I even ordered a few more mounts for my wife bike.
As a U.S. Air Force service member, I have used the headlamp at work when I must have night time visibility and I get nothing but compliments and I am sure a few of my fellow airmen have ordered since then. I even turned my local bike store into inquiring about purchasing your lights to stock. He was also amazed how bright I was on the trail…I have used Cygo and NiteRider and these can’t hold a candle or Lumen (no-pun) against your lights…They also seem extremely durable and don’t move once mounted no matter how hard you drop you bike. I am going to mtbr.com to post my review there also. You guys rock!!!
Good to see Matt Baker of the BBC using Ay-Ups for his charity rickshaw, no doubt you sponsored the event, nice work.
Ay Up – Yes we did and donated the 2 x V4 kits that was used for the epic ride for auction
I have just had my first night ride on the adventure 4’s, they are jaw droppingly amazing! I’llrecommend these babies to anyone!! Bring on the dusk ’til dawn races.
Hi,
Have had my Ay-ups for about 18 months – explorer set – and they are just as good as they were new. Use them for all sorts of stuff – single track, road riding, walking at night (cars wonder what the hell?), mowing the lawn at night, spotting wildlife, checking out the lambing sheep without walking down the paddock, scaring foxes – whenever we need light. Didn’t think I’d use the headset much, but it probably gets most use of all, just around the place.
They’re light, bright, great battery life & all the attachment systems work really well.
They are just great lights.
Cheers
Hi Guys, Wow, I just had to drop you a line to say how happy I am with my new lights. They look and perform fantastically and to order them Wednesday night and have them on my door step on Friday morning was just great. It has been a pleasure to do business with you and I will be highlyrecommending your lights to all my friends. Yours sincerely,
Hi Mark, WOW!! Just Wow. The kit arrived this afternoon, not even 24hrs after leaving Brisbane, and that was out in the sticks of Atherton, not just into Cairns. I am very impressed with StarTrack couriers. Kit arrived perfect condition (wife has recieved two different parcels recently and both have been damaged goods inside an apparently good looking packaging).
Shipping aside, the batteries were put on charge straight up, while one light unit was assembled onto my helmet (Allrounder). Some time later, a friend turned up for an unexpected night ride (woohooo), I gave him my magicshine to use, and I took just the allrounder on my lid. I used to think the magicshine gave a good spread of light. It positively looked like a pencil beam next to the allrounder tonight. Sooo happy with the allrounder, I cant wait till next night ride to have the Intermediate beam as well.
My magicshine used to be on my helmet, I tried mounting the battery on the lid too, and found the weight would shift the helmet on my head unless supertight straps were done, and I also got headaches because of the weight up top, so the battery pack mostly went in the backpack. The ride tonight with light and battery on the lid, honestly didnt even know it was there, apart from the awesome light, it felt like the helmet was bare on my head. Sooo happy from this point alone. Now I feel like I am gushing….
The point of this email…Thank you very much, awesome product, happy customer. Regards
The new Ay Up Light was fantastic! It was just like running in a fully lit room. The light is more powerful than the sun with 700+ Lumen Light with Flood Beam. Photographers Camera’s have problems taking photos of it whilst the light is switched on. I had no troubles running through the tough technical terrain of the Wentworth falls area of the Blue Mountains in TNF100 to secure 3rd position and a 15min PB in TNF100. The Ay Up was a perfect even light over any surface. The new Cree LED and optic evened out the shadows around rocks and I did not trip once in the last 10 km of my 100 km race. The head strap was comfortable and did not bounce on my head whilst running over stairs, rocks, creeks and roads. The button was easy to control the settings. I reallyrecommend this light to any endurance athlete. I can’t wait to test it to its full capacity whilst running the UTMB in August.
Well what can I say. The new lights performed incredibly well on the night sections at TNF100. I was actually running pretty well this year and so didnt need the lights until the last section. They scared the bejesus out of other runners and I passed heaps of people on the trail. Even other AY UP wearers felt intimidated. Definitely gone up a notch !!! Well done.
Here it is….. the AY UP HT13! These are the awesome lights I have been testing out! They lit up the forest at Geoquest, and have been proving very effective in our winter Night Runs and Night Navigation Training sessions. If you are looking to upgrade…..you can’t go past these, as not only can you use the light for trail running, you can put the light on your helmet/handlebars, if you already have the attachments. The new head strap is extremely comfortable and the way the battery locks on is better when going through really thick bush! I think the battery life is actually more than the specs suggest……so you can go all night on just one battery (a bit bigger than the 1/2 epic, but a bit smaller than the Epic). This is definitely worth considering.
Hello to all at Ay Up
The light has been returned and fixed many many many thanks for that and so quick too! Customer service is amazing and I can only say that I will always be buying my lighting system from yourselves. I have placed a comment on my club forum and other cycling sites i am a member of about the quality of the lights but in the after care service you provide, you put some local bike shops to shame with the quality of customer service you provide you really do.
All smiles here anyway. Take care
