SIGMA launches the NYTE 70, a rear light with emergency braking detection
SIGMA has presented the NYTE 70, a new Rear light for cycling Which incorporates normal and emergency braking detection via accelerometer, with the aim of improving the Visibility and road safety.
The launch is part of a growing trend within the cycling equipmentwhere the solutions of passive and intelligent safety They are beginning to gain prominence, especially among cyclists and triathletes who train in open traffic or in low visibility conditions.
Normal braking and sudden braking: how the system works
The main characteristic of the SIGMA NYTE 70 is your ability to distinguish different types of deceleration. Thanks to a integrated accelerometerThe light reacts differently depending on the intensity of the braking.
In a progressive brakingthe device activates a additional fixed brake lightreinforcing the visual signal to vehicles approaching from behind. In the event of a sudden or emergency brakingthe light emits more intense flashes for approximately one secondincreasing the warning effect in critical situations.
This type of signage seeks to bring to cycling a behavior similar to that of... vehicle brake lights, something especially relevant in urban environments, back roads o training with shared traffic.
Lighting designed for different uses and conditions
La NYTE 70 uses a COB LED panel with a large luminous surface, with a wide viewing angle and an announced distance of up to 500 metersThe model offers various lighting modes, including continuous and flash modes, plus a Automatic mode which adapts the ignition according to the ambient light.
In countries where the use of turn signalsThese modes aim to improve the daytime visibilitya key aspect in long outings o training sessions during times of changing light.
Regarding installation, the light allows mounting on both the seat post as directly in the railsa practical solution for Bike of road, gravel o daily useThe declared autonomy extends up to 20h, with charging via USB-C.
SIGMA reinforces its commitment to cyclist safety
With this release, SIGMA expands its lighting range by focusing on technologies geared towards prevention and anticipationbeyond basic visibility. For many amateur triathletes and cyclistsFor those who use bicycles both for training and commuting, this type of solution responds to an increasingly common need: to be seen sooner and more clearly.
La SIGMA NYTE 70 is available from January 2026a recommended price of 39,95 euros.
This launch is part of an ongoing line of work by SIGMA in the field of cyclist safety.
In recent months, the German brand has also introduced more advanced solutions such as the models RECO 80 LINK and RECO 81 LINK, rear lights that incorporate vehicle detection radar and connectivity with compatible cycle computers.
SIGMA RECO 80 LINK It is a rear light designed for cyclists who regularly train on open road and they're looking for an extra bit of to maximise security and your enjoyment.The device combines backlighting with a vehicle detection radar, capable of alerting of approaching traffic from behind by connecting with compatible cycle computers.
This type of system is especially useful in solo shoots or long training sessions, where anticipating the arrival of vehicles allows for improved performance perception of the environment and enhance the visibility of cyclists in shared traffic situations.
