SIGMA SPORT's New Lighting System

The 2007 Sigma Evo/Evo X Pro Endurance System has it all


The holy-grail of lighting has arrived at my house. The SIGMA Evo/Evo X Pro Endurance package has it all. It arrived in a sweet travel case, really great for those of you planning on actually using/racing in this kit. It is entirely tools free, and comes with more optional equipment than an R.V. It comes with TWO batteries, each one capable of of FOUR HOURS of burn time. Let's use all that trig we had in high school and do that math...THAT's EIGHT HOURS OF NIGHT LIGHT with this package.
The batteries are tiny and light, made with a new NiMH technology that keeps it less than a super light XC tire (350 grams)! It charges in 5 to 6 hours, and is small enough to easily slide into a jersey pocket. It's also watertight, and comes with a quick charger that has temperature regulation and overcharge protection. I know it works, because my woman left it on the charger for twelve hours. Smart, real smart.


Not just for handlebars anymore, these lights are a split system that can be run either on the bars, the helmet, or both simultaneously!

It also came with the "Cube Rider" red blinky taillight. A nice touch for the commuter or night mtb rider who likes crashing. Helicopters and rescue crews can find you more easily with a SIXTY HOUR blinky red light attached to your mummified carcass.
The Mirage EVO (one half of the lights) won the Euobike Award in 2005, and has the governments' highest ratings for brightness. At 5 watts and 20 Lux (unit of measurement), it can mount anywhere in seconds.
The Mirgae EVO X is the other half. With a 5 or 10 watt selction, this light is great on the handlebars, and the other on the helmet (mount included, can ya believe it?). They both are watertight, and kick some major ass. Desi ran on ONE battery last night, with both lights blazing the entire two hours (she is old, and thusly blind). her lights never dimmed, and my top-o-the line Niterider system completely DIED after just two hours...on DIM! No more, i amordering my own Mirage EVO X Pro Endurance system tomorrow....
