Enfitnix Cubelite ii Smart Bicycle Tail Light Review
I ride long daytime routes around Tokyo, Kanagawa, Enoshima and Hakone. I never plan to ride at night — but punctures, delays, tunnels and winter gloom mean it happens anyway.
What I wanted was a rear light I didn't have to think about. Something that looks after itself and keeps me visible when conditions suddenly change.
Why I Bought the Enfitnix Cubelite II
The Enfitnix Cubelite II appealed to me because of its automatic lighting features, compact design and simple operation. For long rides where conditions can change unexpectedly, these are genuinely useful features.
Smart Features That Matter
- Automatic on/off – Activates when light levels drop.
- Tunnel detection – Incredibly useful in Japan.
- Brake sensing – Brightens when slowing down.
- Reflective response – Adjusts when car headlights hit it.
- USB rechargeable – No disposable batteries.
Real-World Observations
- Much smaller than expected (approximately 2.5 × 3 cm).
- Extremely bright for its size — don't stare at it close up.
- Metal, water-resistant body feels durable and premium.
- One-button operation — no fiddling mid-ride.
Mounting Options
It includes two mounting clips:
- Saddle-rail clip – I don't use this.
- Seatpost clip – Worked, but my saddle bag blocked it.
In the end, I clipped it directly to my saddle bag, which works perfectly and keeps it clearly visible.
What's in the Box?
- Light unit
- Two mounting clips
- Rubber bands and fasteners
- Instruction manual
Would I Recommend It?
Yes — absolutely.
For my style of riding, the Cubelite II offers exactly what I wanted: a small, bright rear light that requires very little attention.
- Set-and-forget operation
- Excellent brightness
- Great for commuting and long daytime rides
- Useful when conditions change unexpectedly
