First Impressions of MotoLights

Build Quality

The first thing I noticed about the MotoLights is their size—these light pods are HUGE!

Compared to the BMW R1250GS auxiliary lights, the MotoLights are significantly larger and heavier. While this might concern some riders, it’s clear that Lone Rider designed these lights to be robust and durable.

The pods are made from aluminum, giving them a solid, premium feel. The lenses are much larger in diameter than BMW’s auxiliary lights, which means they’re likely to produce significantly more light.

Every component, from the bar clamp mounts to the cables, feels heavy-duty and built to last.

Design

The design of the MotoLights is bold and futuristic. They don’t just look functional—they make a statement. When mounted on a bike, these lights don’t just improve visibility; they elevate the bike’s overall appearance.

Features

The MotoLights also come with DRL (Daytime Running Lights) functionality, making them a versatile choice for riders who want both style and safety.

Comparison with BMW R1250GS Auxiliary Lights

While the BMW R1250GS auxiliary lights are compact and integrate seamlessly with the bike’s CAN bus system, the MotoLights stand out with their size, power, and rugged construction. The difference in lens diameter alone suggests that the MotoLights are built for serious illumination.

Are MotoLights Worth the Investment?

After unboxing and inspecting the MotoLights and MotoCAN, my initial impression is that Lone Rider has delivered a product that justifies its premium price. The build quality, design, and functionality all point to a product that’s made for riders who demand the best.

For adventure riders, visibility and durability are non-negotiable. The MotoLights seem to check all the boxes, and I can’t wait to test them out on the trails.
