Racing

shop Radical lights are designed and built with one goal in mind, to enable one to ride fast! Our lights are built from the ground up, to be robust, lightweight, efficient with long burn times, and above all give you great beams. This is invaluable when racing, especially during 24hr races as your eyes will not tire as easily.

Our lights are raced by the worlds elite racers, and teams, including our premier partners ROCKSTAR RACING who are rocking the radicals. We will have more information about our supported teams, individuals, and people behind the scenes who make this all happen. We will also give you an insight into some of the cool bike builds we undertake, engineering solutions we come up with for our racers, and more!

2009 World Solo 24hr, Canada. mcAvoy 09 worlds mcAvoy 09 worlds mcAvoy 09 worlds Jason McAvoy, runner up in category and 9th overall. Despite a broken wrist sustained only a week before the event, Jason showed amazing courage to push his body to the limit and beyond. A phenomenal performance and an inspiration to us all. Jason runs the Podda4L's, giving him all the light he needs and then some! Jason's night lap stats show he was approximately 10min per lap faster than the closest challengers. A sequence of images capturing what 24Hr endurance racing is all about. First we have Jason at the start, then the pain as he is negotiating another climb, followed by a quick transition for some food, words of encouragement, and finally, when its all over, sweet !
