I use this light as the main light for road biking, fixed gear, and gravel cycling. My secondary light is a Cygolite mounted with a gopro mount on my helmet. The Knog is pretty bright, though it definitely seems brighter offroad. Compared to the Cygolite, the Knog's light is a little bit on the yellow side, so that makes it wash out a little on the road. If the light is used by iteself, this isn't as noticable. I previously had a Light and Motion light (they went out of business) which has a much wider beam, but I can't complain too much. The usb C charging connection is also really nice as it charges quickly and is not a keyed connector.
