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.

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
