Michael, California - "Very precision finish - Germanic in its appeal and look- the best I've seen."

Jo, cyberspace - "...your products and brochures are by far the most intelligent and informative. This is obvious by the high attention to quality and product knowledge; I respect this greatly. It's nice to see in a society full of 'so-so' products and product knowledge."

TURBOCAT
TRAILGUIDE 15
HELMET LIGHT
"Powerful & Light"

"TurboCat's top-of-the-line Super Series 47 dual light is one of the best systems on the market, so we expected no less from its single-beam, helmet-mounted TrailGuide 15 light. The single light incorporates the same CNC'd black anodized housing of the more expensive lights and features the same super-effective reflector, sealing and good looks. Power is supplied by a five-battery rechargeable Ni-Cad pack (which is shrink-wrapped into one piece). The battery pack is designed to fit in a fanny pack or jersey pocket. TurboCat also offers a lead-acid battery option."

"Power on the TrailGuide is 15 watts, but TurboCat's power output is actually higher than the wattage. Actual light output is equivalent to about 19 watts. Run time is two hours."

"Test riders liked the big on/off button. It's easy to operate with or without full-fingered gloves."

"Of the three lights the MBA wrecking crew tested, the TurboCat TrailGuide 15 burned the hottest, allowing us to negotiate moderately difficult singletrack without problems."

"WE LIKED IT. The TurboCat TrailGuide 15 is a worthy buy. It would make a dandy accessory to the Super Series 47. If you ran this combo, you could go just about anywhere."

"The semi-serious night rider will be quite happy with the big-time power of the TrailGuide 15 alone. Match that with its fairly light weight, and you have a great training light."

From the NITERIDER CYCLOPS LIGHT review:

"Overall the NiteRider Cyclops is a good light. It rates slightly below the TurboCat and well above the NightSun as a stand-alone light."

TURBOCAT NOTES: 1. For full review, see October 1997 Mountain Bike Action. 2. Do not reverse the position of the TrailGuide as the MBA Wrecking Crew did in their test.
