CATEYE RAPID X3

With a maximum output of 150 lumens, the CatEye Rapid X3, one of the best bike rear lights, is the most powerful light in the Japanese company's Rapid rear blinker lineup. That's a lot of light, so if you want a real bobby-dazzler for daytime visibility, this is a good option - albeit you'll only get an hour of battery life at that highest setting.

Otherwise, the Rapid X3 has five different modes, with the 30-lumen flashing mode claiming a battery life of up to 30 hours, so there's lots of options depending on when and where you're riding. The Rapid X3 can be fastened to your seat post or seat stays thanks to its thin design and simple rubber band mount, and the clear case ensures excellent side visibility.
