The Volt 500XC is a great option for those needing a powerful light at a reasonable price. Excellent for commuting or training after the sun has set, the 500-lumen Volt 500XC is perfect for the rider seeking a dependable and bright bar-mounted light. Featuring 4 modes (high, low, hyper-constant, and flashing), a USB-rechargeable Li-ion battery, and an easy to attach (and remove) rubber bar mount, the sleek Volt 500XC will quickly become your go-to light for night riding. The USB-rechargeable Rapid X2 takes everything you love about the Rapid X and doubles it. LED strips wrapped in Cat Eye lens technology now pump out 80 lumens for unparalleled safety, day or night. The compact, lightweight body securely mounts almost anywhere, including round and aero seat posts, seat stays, handlebars, and forks.
F**Z
Poor Engineering
I'm not big on writing reviews but I have to vent. This is essentially a $5 flashlight and a rubber band. The lights, both front and rear, mount to the bike frame with large O-rings, bound to fail with repeated removal to charge the batteries or safeguard the unit while parked in public places. Speaking of public places, it takes about 8 seconds for a thief to steal the entire setup. Illumination was as expected. I am returning this set and will find a product with a permanent mount.

Mounting strap failed on day 1
Pro: the light is bright, appears well built and is rechargable.Cons: the mounting strap is molded rubber and fragile. The installation and removal requires pulling a tab to stretch a cross piece into a clip. I attached a photo that showed the band failed at a molded junction. This is a cheap rubber piece that is required to hold to your bike. I installed it and then it failed when I removed it a day later to try on a different bike. I guess they only test the installation.
