What's in the Baviaans name? The Trans Baviaans is one of South Africa’s premier mountain biking events, this mountain bike marathon creates the perfect combination of extremely challenging cycling through exquisite mountain ranges, right into the heart of the magnificent Baviaanskloof Wilderness Area. The entire route is unmarked and tests the orientation skills of each rider. This ensures teamwork amongst everyone and brings out a camaraderie, making it an unforgettable experience.
With this in mind, and being a Trans Baviaans Partner Sponsor for many years, we decided to design the ultimate MTB light for endurance MTB riders.
Voted South Africa's most used MTB Bicycle Light brand, in Tread Magazine, South African Crash Survey: The Results - Part 2.

How do I pair the remote with the light ?There are no instructions on how to pair them.
You can hold in the minus button on the back of the Baviaans for up to 15 seconds until the lower battery indicator light starts going green orange and red.
Then press any of the two remote buttons and it should pair. -
Hi. My wife will be doing the Trans bavians. I am interested in two lights. I want to know how long the standard battery will last on normal and high beam. Regards Arno
Hi Arno, With the standard battery you will get about 35 hours on the lowest setting and then about 8 hours on the mid setting. If you take the 6800mah battery you will get 40 hours on the lowest setting and then 10-12 on the mid setting.

Hi. What's the difference between the Baviaans and Endurance+ Bicycle Light?
Both lights come fitted with a quick release clamp and include a battery pack and a charger. The main difference is the brightness. The Endurance+ produces up to 2100 lumens on it's brightest setting, while the Baviaans light produces up to 3600 lumens on the boost setting. The other difference is the battery choice. With the Endurance+ you only have the option of the 5200mAh battery, where as with the Baviaans light you can choose between 5200mAh, 6800mAh and 10200mAh batteries to better suit the run times you need for your rides. One last difference is that the Baviaans light comes with a handlebar switch to control the brightness of the light, where the Endurance+ only uses the button on the light to control the brightness.

If I have the Endurance light, can I not buy a bigger 10200mAh battery to use with it?
The 10200mAh battery will work with the Endurance+ light. You can purchase online or we can provide you with a quote.

Would this light be suited for road cycling?
The Baviaans light is the best light for any kind of cycling that would require a light. It's really bright at a max setting of 3100 lumen and a boost setting of 3600 lumen, and with it's easy to use remote handlebar switch, you can focus on your ride and the terrain, instead of having to lift one of your hands off the bar to work the light.
Customer Reviews
Excellent product! Nice and sturdy on the bike! Definitely recommend!
The light is amazing and much better than what was expected. Build quality is excellent and would highly recommend buying for someone tackling a long-distance endurance event. Holding mechanism is really impressive keeping light firmly in place even in rough terrain and the switch button is actually a nifty option even though initially I thought I wouldn't actually use it, ended up using it a lot during my rides.
Good Quality and Light
I bought the Baviaans light for the Cullinan Ultra coming up in April this year, took it out to test for the first time last night and I am extremely happy with it. The beam has a super bright wide spread and the remote is way more handy than I expected. I’m happy I spent a bit extra to get the top of the range. Thank you for your great service and help Pieter. I highly recommend this product.
The Extreme Lights Baviaans Bicycle light is still one of the best lights on the market. With a long battery life, excellent quality and design and MASSIVE peak brightness, its the perfect do-it-all light.
