Why the Orb exists

Safe and seen, from the side.

One in three serious cycling collisions is a side impact from a vehicle. Front and rear lights don’t cover it. The Orb fills the gap: the lid holds four high-output LEDs that light the whole bottle in orange, the colour of side visibility on the road, so drivers see you as they approach from junctions and roundabouts.

It also makes use of biomotion. Research shows drivers recognise a lit, pedalling cyclist from over three times further away, so the Orb lights the movement of your legs as well as the bottle.

What’s new in the MKII

Brighter. Modular. Built to be serviced.

We listened to Orb riders and rebuilt the light from the lid down.

  1. Absolutely amazing, stayed flashing for 12 hours straight on an all night Audax and the side on visibility was great. Total game changer for dark commutes AND you get to drink from it 🙂

  2. A classy, well made and designed product. Does exactly what it says on the tin! The different light options are handy – especially if you want the battery to last longer than the advertised time. I recently used it along with other lights on the over night Lockdown London ride for extra visibility. A best in class product say I.

  3. Looks Great Quality of material is very good, only used it once for a 5 mile commute so far,

  4. Perfect.

  5. Great gadget which is also improving your safety!
