Magicshine EVO 1300 Sharp Beam Cutoff Bike Headlight Review - feat. Topside Garmin Mount + USB-C

With the new EVO series of bike lights, Magicshine has created powerful bike lights with advanced beam-cutoff lenses. That means you can have a high-output bike light that won’t blind oncoming traffic. The Magicshine EVO 1300 is part of that new series and offers an impressive 1300 lumen output. With its aspherical lens, the EVO 1300 features a single LED setup with a sharp beam cutoff that focuses the light on the ground. The EVO 1300 retails at an affordable $74.99 and includes a wireless remote and Garmin mount on the top of the headlight. Although the light lacks the StVZO certification, it provides the same benefits and a dual beam setup with low and high beam modes. The EVO 1300 also offers a USB-C charging interface and intuitive single button user interface. Magicshine has specifically designed the EVO 1300 to be mounted underneath out-front mounts. Instead of the Garmin mount being located on the bottom of the light, Magicshine has molded it into the top of the light. This solves the common problem with beam cutoff lights which are directional, like the Magicshine Allty lights, which typically aren’t designed to be mounted on the underside of an out-front mount. Using the provided Garmin to GoPro adapter the EVO 1300 can quickly be attached to the included out-front mount or any third-party GoPro mount. The included dual-sided out-front mount is a plastic Magicshine branded design that works well and feels rigid. You can also use the EVO 1300 with nearly any third-party setup as the light itself is fairly compact and shouldn’t interfere with handlebars or cabling. The Magicshine EVO 1300 uses the familiar rounded rectangle profile we’ve seen with the Magicshine Ray and RN series of lights. It uses a similar one piece aluminum housing for lightweight and heat dissipation. There is basic branding with Magicshine printed on the top and EVO 1300 graphics along the side. Inside the light you have two integrated 18650 Li-ion batteries that can be charged via the rear USB-C port. Unlike the Magicshine Allty 1500S, the batteries are integrated and cannot be removed or replaced. ...
