Dynamo Lights & Hubs

This is probably the best rack-mounted dynamo tail light on the market, and definitely the most popular among our customers. Features a pulsing, wireless brake light. Compatible with most brands of front dynamo light except Supernova. Supernova lights should always be used together.

Double-two wire (6 ft) connects headlight to taillight. All four connectors installed.

Handlebar mount for Busch & Mueller dynamo headlights. Made for 31.8mm handlebars, but includes shims for smaller-diameter bars. Requires two allen keys (included).

Tiny and light but packs a hefty punch. Includes a capacitor so it stays lit for a few minutes after stopping at a red light. The holes are drilled 50 mm apart for mounting to most racks. Use this light only in conjunction with a headlight; never wire it directly to the dynamo or you'll fry the poor thing.

Busch & Mueller's new Micro taillight is no bigger than a dime across the lens. Compatible with various brands of dynamo headlight. Note that with dynamo lights, the wiring from headlight to tail light is typically included with the headlight, not the tail light, so this light doesn't include a wire. You can purchase that separately from us for $4 if you need it. Mounts to your fender, seatpost, or seatstay. It also pivots, making many different mounting positions possible. Note that it doesn't have any built-in reflectors, unlike other tail lights. If you want a small taillight that does have reflectors, check out the B&M Small.

New from Busch & Mueller, the IQ-XS is smaller and lighter than the IQ-X but costs a third less while packing almost the same punch. The extensive light field, as well as light at close range, makes every ride in the dark an enjoyable experience. During the day, the integrated daytime running light offers maximum safety. Includes wiring for a taillight.

This is traditionally the world’s most highly regarded dynamo hub. It's very similar in performance to the Shutter Precision hubs. •Available with ISO 6 Bolt Disc or Centerlock Disc configuration •6V / 3W •Hub Shell: aluminium 6082 T6 •Axle: hollow axle Ø 10 mm, strain-hardened stainless steel •Bearings: deep groove ball bearing 629 2RSH •Magnets: neodym iron boron, 26 poles •Weight: 460g. (6 Bolt); 430g. (Centerlock) •5 year warranty (longer than any other hub) The Schmidt SON28 is especially recommended if you want light at especially low speeds. It will produce front and rear light starting at about 7 mph, whereas the Shutter Precision will start at about 11 mph. And that's the Schmidt's one distinct performance advantage over the SP, to our knowledge. And remember that the bigger your wheels and tires are, the faster you'll need to be going to make light happen, so if you're riding a 29er under 12-13 mph for long periods, the Schmidt may be best for you.

The S701 hub is notably smaller and lighter than the S501, but it produces only half the output: 1.5W instead of 3W. (All other dynamo hubs we carry produce 3W). This hub is intended for city use, it's not intended to power the super-bright Luxos lights or to charge smart devices. It will do both, but not as well. A great front light to run with this hub is the B&M Eyc or Eyc T(and any B&M tail light). Note that for $150, the Shutter Precision hubs are actually lighter and produce 3W. For use with centerlock rotors.

This is now by far our most popular dynamo hub, going into about 90% of our dynamo wheel builds. SP dynamo’s hubs are not only the lightest but also the most efficient 3w hub on the market, and are virtually identical to the BioLogic Joule 3. The lightest SP dynamo weighs in at an unprecedented 360-390g (lighter than even the little Shimano S701 1.5w!) while attaining an unmatched efficiency of 72%. These 3w dynamo hubs are premium products designed and engineered for the most demanding cycle tourists, commuters, and enthusiasts. Their performance and reliability are on par with Schmidt. There's one exception: the Schmidt will start producing light at around 7 mph, whereas the Shutter Precision at around 11. The bigger your wheels are, the higher those minimum speeds, and the converse is also true. Although various colors are occasionally available, usually we can get them only in silver or black.

The new Beacon is hands down the best dynamo headlight in production, and it's made in the USA. 750 lumens Starts charging at around 5 mph (700c wheels), an industry best Symmetrical beam pattern Ideal choice for off-road riding.

For bike touring and bikepacking, you can also charge an external battery pack for an extra store of power. 750 Lumens Dynamo power is optimized at low-to-medium speeds, reaching 200 lumens at just 5 MPH, 500 lumens at 8 MPH, 650 lumens at 10 MPH, and 750 lumens at 13 MPH. Simultaneous power distribution: the charger works even while your lights are on. Intelligently balances power between light and charger to optimize simultaneous use. Standlight: A supercapacitor provides about 5 minutes of standing light when stopped.

This results in less glare, less strain on your eyes, and does a better job reproducing natural colors. Weatherproof (see the photo where the light is submerged in water). Designed to be used in any conditions. Multiple seals protect against water ingress, electronics are potted in epoxy, and all connectors are gold plated and designed for resistance to the elements.
