Maybe still relevant? The monteer 8000 at low power has about the same light output as the evo maxed out. With the monteer i often ride without helmet light, often in low mode, with the evo i wouldn't mountainbike without helmet light. With the monteer that means 1,5 hours of riding time, with the 8000s you get well over 6 hours at low and 1,5 hours at the full 8000 high beam,.. The full 8000 lumens is overkill except for enduro style rides The monteer has a lighter and more compact lighthead that stays well fixed on a garmin mount but you have to attacht the battery to the frame, the battery is 400 gram or so. The evo is one package, easy to put on/ of the bike but the clamp has a hard time coping with bigger hits with the weight of the light.
We have been meaning to make a review video on the lights but we highly recommend them. The hangover compliments the trail evo nicely. The trail evo has a wide beam pattern so you see more of the trail compared to other lights and the hangover provides a spot light so you can see further down the trail. The hangover will teach you how to "look where you want to go." We like to use the hangover on the brightest setting so we will turn it off on the climbs to conserve battery. Thanks for watching
How these compared to the Monterey 8000S?

Just ordered this set. Very excited to get out with them.
Nice light throw @ 4:00.... What's your camera set-up? Searching for handlebar lights....
All we use are some GoPros! I think this was the Hero 7 and chesty mount. Outbound is a solid choice for lights :)
Excellent flashlight, I will buy one too👍👍
Looks like a sweet setup for lights. Do you recommend them?
We do! We want to post a review video soon 👍
Ive had the evo since it came out. Solid light that Ive put many hours on.
Any comments? Especially the Hangover.
