Choose an Exposure light for your ride
Road riding and early commutes
For dark roads and pre-dawn rides, start with the Exposure Strada Mk12 SB AKTIV. Its road-specific beam is designed to light the lane while limiting glare, and AKTIV mode dips the beam when it detects approaching headlights. For a compact front light, compare the Sirius 11, BOOST 3, and Trace 4. Pick based on how much unlit road you cover, how much light you want to carry, and whether daytime visibility or lighting the road is your priority.
Gravel rides and mountain bike trails after dark
Technical terrain calls for a beam that reaches ahead and fills in the edges of the trail. The Six Pack 15 is Exposure’s highest-output off-road option in our lineup. The MaXx-D 17 blends long-range reach with a broad spread for corners. The Toro 16 and Race 19 offer smaller handlebar-mounted choices for singletrack, gravel, and fast rides. For light that follows your line of sight, pair a bar light with the Zenith 4, Diablo 15, or Joystick 18 helmet light.
Rear visibility
Complete your setup with a rear light. The BOOST-R 3 REAKT and TraceR 4 ReAKT increase output when braking. The TraceR 4 is a lightweight everyday rear-light option. Compare the beam, mounting, and modes on each product page.

Exposure bike lights: common questions
Which Exposure light works best for road riding?
The Strada Mk12 SB AKTIV is the road-focused choice if you want a shaped beam and automatic dipping around approaching traffic. Sirius 11, BOOST 3, and Trace 4 are compact alternatives for road and commuter use.
Should I use a helmet light with a handlebar light?
On dark trails, many riders like a handlebar light for broad coverage and a helmet light to illuminate where they look. Compare the Six Pack 15, MaXx-D 17, Toro 16, or Race 19 with the Zenith 4, Diablo 15, or Joystick 18.
What is the difference between TraceR 4 and TraceR 4 ReAKT?
Both are compact rear lights. The ReAKT version adds a response to braking; compare each model’s other features and modes before choosing.
