Exposure Trace and TraceR
Cycling Weekly Verdict

Tiny, robust, extremely bright and with long burn times. There really is nothing to fault the Exposure Trace and TraceR lightset. Ideal for everything from commuting to being a backup set for longer trips, this is a set of lights that will provide reliable service for many a year.

The Exposure Trace and TraceR lightset was selected for an Editor's Choice award in 2020. This year's list contains 78 items which scored a 9 or 10/10 with our tech team - this gear is the best of the best, and has received the Cycling Weekly stamp of approval. 

The Trace and TraceR lights are the smallest and most featherweight units Exposure produce and at first glance it's hard to imagine the sort of performance they are capable of. But just like David against Goliath, size isn't everything.
