Evenings getting shorter and the nights getting darker can only mean one thing, less riding time! Or does it? Anna Cipullo and Blake Samson show you what you need to be fully equipped for those nighttime MTB rides. They head to the darkest place in England to demonstrate that shorter days don’t necessarily mean shorter rides and that you can still have fun on those cold winter days.
Blake and Anna are using the Magicshine Monteer 12,000 and the Magicshine Seemee 300 Smart Taillight, along with some Magicshine MJ 906S helmet lights in this video.

Монтаж хороший
GMBN just turning into the mountain bike shopping channel. Just another glorified advert for yet another sponser product.
That looked like some laugh🤣🤣
Love night rides and I take everything I always take which is a little bit of everything. Including my lights just in case a day ride turns into a night ride lol
Night riding is awesome!!!
12,000 lm, holy cow. I'm happy with my 900 bar and 400 on my helmet. But then again, the trails we ride are tight, twisty single in the deep woods where you don't need to see 1/4 mile down the trail like what you were riding. I suppose you would need more for faster trails though, nothing fast here. 🙃
I ride at night all year round. Exposure six pack and a diablo are always in my pack.
You haven't got Kangaroos to contend with. They stand right on the edge of the trail waiting for you to pass. Then you see their beady little eyes.
is this the only place where this is possible ? aren't there heavy fines for disturbing wildlife ?
Great vid – gotta get me a set of Magicshines!
Me want your helmet lights! 😁
I've tried biking at night a handful of times. But most of the time I go by myself as my riding buddies dont have night riding lights. My bar light is magicshine 1500rn and 800 lumen headlamp. For me it's more than enough to light up the trails.
I can honestly say its both amazing and eerie at the same time and something that every mountain biker should experience. Every time i ride at night I can't help but think that someone or something is watching or stalking me. Lol
I know its just my imagination and I guess that part of the trill of riding at night alone.
As for gear, i just take the same stuff when I ride in the day. My cellphone in case of emergency, multi tool, plugs, co2 pump and zip ties.
Nice!
I night ride atleaat twice a month. Love it! 🤘
I like riding at night, especially in summer if the day has been crazy hot. If i'm going alone, I stick to trails I know well. Less likely to get turned around, or run into the wrong kind of "wildlife".
Great video from the king and queen of bants!
CO2 AND a PUMP?!?! crazy
Night riding is soo much fun, as long as you have decent lighting😎👍
I love to ride in the night, it's just that my lights are nowhere near enough to get up to speed with a fake 500 lumen light that performs more like a 130 lumen one…the headlight, even a shitty one helps a lot though.
Лайка 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It’s a Spanish colleague that first talk to me about night riding telling me how much fun it was.
But I guess that he never did it in the same weather you did 😮
Great adventure 😂
Anna and Blake on the loose is hilarious. The human lighthouse is pure gold. I have to wonder how they manage not to giggle when they have to do the serious product presentation because I am sure they'll try and make each other laugh.
12000 lumens is overkill, I've been riding regularly for years through the winter with Exposure lights a max 800 lumens on the helmet & max 3500 lumens on the handlebars. Also don't ride trails with a rear light, it can blind riders behind & if you meet other riders, don't blind them with your lights.
Thanks for the show. Good laugh along the way. Yes i do it, yes i do it often, love it, take lots, extra canisters, spare batteries, extra fluids, picnic set. Oh.. on an ebike though 🚵♀
You rode with very bright white lights, in my experience this is not the way to do it especially when damp you get a snow effect where the leaves and anything wet and shiny reflects causing you not to see properly. Also with this type way of using/white light there is a huge difference between what is lit and what isn't… So In fact are you seeing less.
You are also causing the rider in front of you to not be able to see properly due to shadows. I use and really like the L & M seca lights which many companies copied the shape of. They have a slightly warmer light
Great beam pattern… BUT a ridiculously long lead, and battery shapes that could have been better… But for me the best beam/kelvin rating lamp.
I also like the Exposure joysticks which give a great beam for bike packing/end of day just in case light.
I occasionally try their larger lights but the light is too white and the pattern not as good especially using it on higher then lower beam settings it needs to be moved up or down on the bars. Great pity light and motion never made a really good self contained large light!
Great video as always Blake and Anna are great keep up the great videos.
Absolutely love night riding, am careful not to do anything too stupid though. It’s actually amazing how many people go night hiking too.
Me & my friends go night riding as well. We bring the things that you also brought (Blake & Anna). The thing is, ALL of us forgot to switch on the GoPro!
Really really cool !!!
迈级炫牛逼
Why does that Chinese app need to know my GPS-location?
You guys are so bloody funny!!! Who wouldn't want to go to work with colleagues like that!!!
I have a magicshine 6500s monteer and a Exposure Diablo 12 . more than enough light for in the scottish woods. the thing to remember is to charge them up fully beforehand. not like my son the other night.thanks for another great video
Night rides used to be epic with 50 lumen halogen pezl headlights or without light under the full moon, with a 300 lumen led headlight and a 600 lumen flood on the bars i went from a rolling lighthouse late 90's to rolling in my own shadow 2010,.. mtb evolved, a 1995 DH track is now a gravelbike ride but when i am alone i can ride enduro tracks at speed with 1800 lumend on the bar and 900 on the helmet. With other riders with much brighter lights around my eyes adjust to the bright light so i needed to upgrade,.. now i ride up to 4000 on the helmet, 8000 on the bars,..
I really like watching Blake & Anna. I hope they could do a GMBN vs GCN again with Blake, Anna, Manon & Hank
Been using magicshine montear 6500 for a couple of years now. I dont think I'll use another brand for a long time. I love the fact the battery pack doubles up as a powerbank for your phone. As I connect my phone to my bike for a route it can drain the battery on long rides. So the powerbank is perfect for me 👌🏻
This looked like fun, the rainy misty night, the quietness. I use to ride at night. Those are nostalgic memories.
I really enjoyed this one, really love Blakes personality.
No snacks? I always carry light weight snacks just in case. I don’t like to eat heavy before a ride.
