EUROBIKE 2015 | SUPERNOVA M99

Under the tagline ‘the future is now’, SUPERNOVA grabbed the chance at EUROBIKE 2015 to present their brand new E-bike headlight, the SUPERNOVA M99. Proclaiming the M99 revolutionary, the fast e-bike-approved lighting system features a low, dipped beam and a far-reaching high beam.

Based in the southern part of the Black Forest, SUPERNOVA Design have spent three years creating a new generation of headlights with an LED matrix, dubbed the M99, supported by Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.
With up to 1,600 lumen light output and 360 lux at its brightest point, the M99 gives the performance of a Xenon car headlight but in a much smaller package. While the dipped light won’t blind any other traffic as you head to the trails, the high beam allows you to tackle difficult terrain as though it was daylight.

Das automatische sensorgesteuerte Tagfahrlicht (4,5 W Verbrauch) schaltet bei Dämmerung oder bei der Einfahrt in eine Unterführung automatisch auf Abblendlicht um.
The automatic sensor controlled daytime running light (4.5 watt) automatically switches to the dipped light as dusk falls or the light conditions darken.
Das formschöne, schwarz polierte Alugehäuse des M99 Scheinwerfers mit seiner Kühlrippenstruktur hat die Größe 87 x 57,5 x 67,25 mm.
The stylish, black-polished aluminium casing of the M99 headlight with its built-in cooling ribs measures 87 x 57.5 x 67.25 mm.
Das Gewicht des M99 Scheinwerfers mit seinem formschönen CNC gefrästen und eloxierten Alugehäuse liegt bei 220 Gramm.
The CNC-milled M99 headlight with its anodized aluminium casing weighs 220 g.

The LED headlight will be available in three models:

The M99 system will be available from dealers in November 2015 with a recommended retail price of €295 for the M99 PURE front headlight and €65 for the M99 taillight. The M99 PRO headlight will initially only be available as part of complete bikes from leading manufacturers.
