Cygolite Metro Pro 1150 USB Headlight

The Cygolite Metro Pro 1150 USB is a high-output rechargeable headlight for riders who need a serious front light for dark roads, unlit paths, commuting, and trail use. Its 1,150-lumen maximum output and wide, long-range beam are designed to help riders see farther ahead while also improving daytime visibility in traffic.

Best for

• Night riding on darker roads, bike paths, and trails
• Commuters who ride before sunrise, after sunset, or in changing conditions
• Road and gravel riders who want a wide, more useful forward beam
• Riders who want one rechargeable light for both daytime visibility and nighttime riding

Why we like it at Kickstand Culture

The Metro Pro 1150 is a substantial step up from a basic “be seen” light. Its broad, long-range beam is intended to help riders actually see the road or path ahead, not simply announce their presence. The compact hard mount, USB-C charging, weather sealing, and long claimed runtime make it a practical choice for riders who use their bike regularly rather than only occasionally.
