Lezyne says, "The most advanced front and rear combination of cycling lights available. The two lights come wirelessly paired, allowing the front LED to wirelessly turn on or off the taillight at the same time. The modes of the two lights can be customized when paired with our free Lezyne LED Ally phone app. During a ride, toggling through the modes of the front light will also wirelessly change the modes of the taillight. Lezyne combines the best head- and rear lights and offers them paired. Powerful combinations with the best of both lights bundled. This ensures a great performance, makes choosing a head- ánd rear light easy and saves you money. The offered pairs are always cheaper then buying the LED’s loose. With eight different light modes to choose from, including Blinking light and Continuous light, the Lezyne Lite Drive 1000XL offers flexible options to suit personal preferences and road conditions. It is also lightweight, weighing only 153 g, making it easy to mount and transport. For the size of the light the run-times are pretty impressive, often over-achieving not just hitting the targets, in use.
They are really the only flaws, though. Everything else about the Lite Drive 1000XL is pretty good.Like all Lezyne lights these days the mount is a chunky rubber strap which has the benefit of being very simple, but if you're heading off-road you might find the grip on the bar isn't quite strong enough to keep it pointing where you want it over the rougher stuff, and trying to use the top button in gloves can shove the light about too. I've not had a problem on the roads, though, and hanging it below the bar helps if you do find it slipping. The KTV Pro rear emits up to 75 lumens and lasts anywhere between 4 to 19.5 hours, with a daylight mode available and promised 270 degree visibility. It came in at 52g. The app also gives you a battery readout for each light, but it would be nice if this feature was updated so the information is a little bigger, and more granular: getting useful battery information is a big plus for the app, but the current implementation could be improved. An app for your lights? That might sound like a chore, but it's not: Lezyne's Smart connect app is simple and very effective. If the lights are turned on then they'll show up once you fire up the app, and you can connect the front and rear light to your phone. This also pairs them together (they come set up like that anyway), so that turning the front light on will also activate the rear. It doesn't work the other way round but this makes sense: there are times you might want to be running your rear light but not your front – on a busy road in the daytime, for example – but none that spring to mind where you'd need your front but not your rear. I did find that it moved more than ratcheted fitting systems, however, such as Cateye’s FlexTight, and fittings requiring a hex bolt. Also, unlike those options, the Lezyne doesn’t let you leave the fitting on the bar to remove the light.
The light flashes blue when you're in race mode and green when you're in standard, and you just hold it down for a few seconds when you turn it on to change between the two.

Many of our lights feature Overdrive Race Mode. While it's a great feature, it can occasionally cause a little confusion. If your light is missing its flashing modes, or your light only has two modes, then you have probably activated this feature.
