Mountain bike at dusk — two front lights, arrow pointing to the lower centered optimal position

Back to the best position.

Front lights lost their place.
Hexapus Clamps brings them back.

Classic bicycle with front light mounted low on the fork — the original optimal position

01 — The original truth

It used to be obvious.

For decades, front lights had a natural position. It wasn't a design choice.

It was their optimal solution.

Flashlight strapped to handlebar — the improvised solution that lost the optimal light position

02 — Front lights lost their place

Then bikes evolved.

Front suspension forks appeared, and the headlight positioning was lost.

We improvised a “solution” by strapping flashlights to the handlebar…

And that's when the optimal position got lost.

03 — Cyclists adopt the ‘solution’

Even losing their place, cyclists were resigned to the only option.

We just bought what the industry was offering.

Today, lights are:

  • Off-centered
  • Poorly integrated
Bike cockpit packed with GPS computer, action camera and accessories — no space left for front light

04 — Crowded cockpits

Everything fights for the same space.

So, your light ends up… wherever it can.

Lights

GPS

Cameras

Radar

05 — Handlebar affection over the beam

Handlebars aren't straight.
So, your light… isn't aligned either.

Left turn

Different beam

Right turn

Different beam

Result

Different visibility

Every turn changes how you see the trail.

06 — Solution attempts

Workarounds do not return the light to where it belongs.

Arch fork light attachment — too low, vibrations not absorbed by suspension

Option A

Handlebar mounts

Control wires in front of the beam — causing shades and beam performance loss.

Option B

Arch fork attachments

Too low. Vibrations not absorbed by suspension — they usually turn over at the mounting point.

They try to fix the issue.

But they don't restore what was lost.

07 — The insight

Same bike with two front lights at dusk — annotated lines show the lower centered light is aligned on the correct axis

The problem are not the lights. They are powerful enough, but they are placed in the wrong position.

The optimal position was never the problem.

It was already solved.
It just disappeared.

Hexapus Clamps mounted on the fork of a red mountain bike — front light in the optimal centered position

09 — Benefits

Designed for the
optimal position.

Every detail serves a single purpose: restoring the light position that was lost when modern bikes evolved.

Better beam projection

Low, centered position maximizes road illumination and reduces glare for oncoming traffic.

Free of wires in front of the beam

No control cables crossing the beam path — no shadows, no performance loss.

Improved visibility

Seen from further away. The optimal angle proven over decades of cycling design.

Stable and aligned

No vibration, no drift. Fixed inside the steerer tube where alignment is permanent.

Clean integration

Minimal profile that complements modern cockpit aesthetics without clutter.

Better aerodynamics

Light mounted below the cockpit line reduces drag compared to handlebar-mounted solutions.

Built for modern bikes

Compatible with straight and tapered steerer tubes — covers virtually every modern fork.

Best position for remote control

Optimal positioning for remotely controlling front lights — consistent and accessible.

Lightweight — only 53g

Direct mounting on Hexapus SST Plug. Minimal weight impact on your setup.

Better weight distribution

Improves accessories weight distribution, enhancing overall bike dynamics.

Service-friendly

Allows resting the bike over seat and handlebar during trailside services without removing the light.
