Exposure Strada Mk12 SB AKTIV is a powerful and versatile front light from the Exposure Road range. It is designed especially for situations where strong output, a controlled beam pattern and good usability in traffic are needed.

The output is 1700 lumens and runtime is 2-36 hours depending on the selected programme. The 10200 mAh Li-Ion battery provides good capacity for long rides in the dark, winter training and commuting. Weight is 257 grams, which is a practical overall figure considering the output and battery capacity.

Strada Mk12 SB AKTIV uses a road-specific beam pattern. Its purpose is to direct light efficiently onto the road and edge areas, helping the rider see the road surface, corners, edges and obstacles as clearly as possible. This separates Strada from many general-purpose front lights where the beam pattern is not as clearly designed for road use.

AKTIV technology improves usability in traffic. The light detects the lights of oncoming vehicles and automatically reduces output. Once the vehicle has passed, the light returns to full power. This reduces glare for oncoming traffic and makes using a powerful front light more controlled in road riding.

The OLED Status Display shows the selected mode, battery level and remaining runtime. This makes the light easier to manage during longer training rides and when riding in the dark. The included wired remote switch allows the light to be controlled while riding without moving your hand to the light body.

Strada Mk12 SB AKTIV also provides good side visibility. Thanks to the side cut-outs in the body, the light is visible across up to 240 degrees, improving visibility at intersections and in traffic. The reversible graphics design allows the light to be mounted either way up without changing the beam pattern or features.

The body is CNC machined from anodised 6063 aluminium. The light has IP65 protection, Intelligent Thermal Management and Optimised Mode Selector. As a complete package, Strada Mk12 SB AKTIV is a strong choice for road cyclists who want a powerful, high-quality front light that works well in traffic.

FAQ:
What is the difference between Strada and a regular powerful front light?
Strada is designed specifically for road cycling. The road-specific beam directs light in a more controlled way onto the road and road edges.

What does AKTIV do?
AKTIV detects the lights of oncoming vehicles and automatically dims the light. Once the vehicle has passed, the light returns to full power.

Is the remote switch included?
Yes. Strada Mk12 SB AKTIV comes with a wired remote switch.

Is this suitable for commuting?
Yes. It is well suited for demanding commuting, especially when riding in the dark, on roads or outside street lighting.

Is this suitable for gravel?
Yes, especially for road-oriented gravel and dark transfer sections. For technical off-road riding, Race 19 is often the better option because of its beam pattern and intended use.
