Letting you cycle and listen to your favourite tunes without fear of getting your headphones caught among the wheels or missing ambient noises crucial to staying safe whilst peddaling away is the new ACOUZTIC bike light and speaker from Xceon.

Popping onto your bike’s handlebars, the unit combines an ultra-bright 170 lumens LED flashlight with a 3 watt omni-directional speaker capable of playing back MP3 and WMA files via its built in storage.

A single charge will offer 40 continuous hours of lighting or 70 hours of music playback, while the water resistant light features 5 different flash modes (Hi, Low, Flash, Disorienting Strobe, S.O.S.) also making it the perfect companion for campers or festival-goers this summer.

“As gas prices rise, more cyclists have appeared on the road,” reads the Xceon press statement.

“Unfortunately, so have theirheadphones that can endanger their owners’ by reducing spatial awareness and ambient road noises. While listening to music on a bicycle ride can be pleasurable, it can also be very dangerous.

“Xceon designed the ACOUZTIC to keep cyclists and outdoor recreationists safe, but sharing music with friends while having fun outdoors is just plain cool.”

Available now in 6 different colours for $139.95, click here to find out more.

  • I just received it. It comes with a demo song that sounds great. I bought this item for the MP3 player mainly. I spend about 10 hours a week riding my mountain bike on the fire roads and trails of Southern California and always dreamed having music playing while riding instead the sound of the tires-dirt contact. Now about the devise: Everything is impressive. The quality of craftsmanship, the sound (considering the size of the speaker), the buttons, the mounting bracket, the carrying protective sheath, even the packaging . I do not care about the light feature because I already have lights on my bike but it could be an emergency light source or a flashlight if needed. I will  use the included sheath to carry it instead the handlebar bracket (to minimize vibrations)

  • I bought one while I was visiting a tradeshow. The sound quality is pretty amazing. Overall, pretty happy with the purchase. Wished it wasn’t so heavy.
