As Southern California natives we like to ride dirt bikes all year round. That means in the summertime when it's extremely hot out. This is when we take to the trails at night to try and escape the heat. For that, we need an array of lights on our dirt bikes as well as on our helmets so that we can see the trail. Recently we purchased an Oxbow Voyager light kit that utilizes the GoPro mounting system to allow you to mount the light wherever you want. In this case, we used the Oxbow Voyager light in conjunction with our helmet chin mounts for GoPros to mount the light to the chin bar of our helmets. We have had the opportunity to do several night rides with this light and so far have nothing but great things to say about it. From the blinding 2100 lumens to the way that the beam of light is thrown, this is an impressive light that is a must-have if you are going to be riding your dirt bike at night. We were especially impressed with the lightweight design with the housing of the light being made of aluminum and the external battery that can be stored in your backpack keeping the weight off of your helmet. At this point, we can't say anything about the longevity of this light since we have only had a few opportunities to use it however our first impression is top-notch and we can't wait for many more night riding adventures.
Many thanks to our amazing video editor, who you should hire for your projects.

Sold! I'm not ready to spend over a grand yet and this is a great budget friendly option for my first led hel light. 👌👌
We’ve had good luck with them 🤙🏻
Seems like a pretty nice way to add additional light to everywhere that you turn your head. I also like the idea of being able to get off, walk away from the bike, maybe take a pee and never miss a beat. I guess it also has the potential to help when setting up your tent after dark, but it’ll probably attract a shit load of mosquitoes in the process. If cutting down the lumen output is fairly hassle free on the fly, that would add an untold amount of flexibility in various scenarios 👍🏾
It's honestly really cool.
Good for single track and woods riding but more open double track where the pace picks up and you'll outrun the light from the Oxbow. I run this light and it is good, but for faster riding you'll want to look at options like those from desert unlimited or motominded. They both use Baja design lights.
Is the cable like an rca cable? Wondering about using these on my
Snowmobile. I have a heated shield so I already have a power cord going to the helmet. Was thinking could get any adapter and have both the heated shield and light wired directly to the sled
I bet you could. Not sure what you’d call the power cable, but I wouldn’t hesitate to cut it and splice whatever in.
How is this compared to the tusk helmet lite ?
Honestly you need the xl 80 fro Baja not the squadron lol
Would this be good if it’s my only light? Or would I need more?
You could use it by itself, but helmet lights work best in combo with a headlight. The two lights hit different angles, which provides better depth perception (which can be an issue at night).
I have used lights like these for 24hr mountain bike racing for a few years. You definitely want both handlebar and helmet lights for depth perception, to be able to see further ahead around tight corners, and to have the foreground filled in so you can use your peripheral vision as effectively as possible. Otherwise it gets very mentally fatiguing. A narrower beam is typically used on the helmet for more throw, and a wider more evenly spread beam (with more power) on the bars. With the higher speed of motos, the need for this setup would only intensify.
