When we got our first Knog PWR sample a few years ago, it rapidly reversed our initial ‘gimmick’ impressions with super user-friendly performance, expandable modular versatility and overall reliability. 

Our latest test focusses on the Knog PWR Road, and while you might need an extra mount kit if you’re not on round bars, it’s otherwise a practical, super-smart light that’s just about powerful enough for back road exploring, and it's visible around town too.
