Here's some words from MBR UK. 'It’s all very well looking at lumen counts on paper, beam patterns in theory and battery life on quoted tables, but it is out on the trail that everything is brought together'
After the test they found they following 'Ultimately though, the Ay-Ups were favourite with all the testers. In the comprehensive Adventure V4 kit, you get both helmet and bar lights with more than enough power and battery life to satisfy any riding need' Oct 09

NOTE : The recent MBR review shows a V4 kit would cost approx £310 delivered. Pricing has changed for the better with our xmas special so the MBR quoted price is now obsolete.

James Cracknell and Rebecca Romero today embark on a world record attempt to cycle non-stop from Land’s End to John O’Groats on a mixed tandem bicycle. Pic below was taken just before the off.

Endorsement from James -

“Thank you so much to Andrew and all at Ay Up Lights for their support for my recent world record attempt with Rebecca Romero to cycle non-stop from Land’s End to John O’Groats on a tandem. The super powerful Ay Up Lights for both bike and helmet were invaluable to see us through the night – they lit up the road ahead and made sure we were safe by making us as visible as the cars on the road the lights were so bright! Everyone kept asking us where our lights came from as we went along.”

Double Olympic gold medallist Cracknell and Olympic cycling gold medallist Romero will pedal the 874 mile distance in an attempt to break the current mixed sex tandem record of 2 days, 3 hours, 19 minutes and 23 seconds.
