Field Report: 24 Hours of Moab


This report comes to us from the top Co-ed Pro team from this yeas 24 Hours of Moab race, The Fantastic Four. All of them are veterans to the race and have their share of race wins and time on the famous Southern Utah course. The team consisted of Chris Holley, his wife KC Holley, Matt Harding and Josh Wolf; who all put in some amazing lap times during the day and with the help of Exposure Lights, kept it strong and fast through the night. Here is there report:

We competed in the Coed Pro Am category at this year’s 24 Hours of Moab.  The rain the day before helped make the normally soft, loose course tight and packed. While the course was fast, the weather was chilly and cold at night.

Our day laps were fast and things were going good.  Our main competition was coming from a 4 man pro team from Colorado.  They were laying down some very impressive day lap times and putting quite a bit of time into us.  Once the sun went down our Exposure lights came on and the our lap times were much closer to the Colorado team but they had built a big enough lead that there was no way we were going to catch them. We ended up finishing 2nd over all with some of the fastest overall night laps.

Each of the members on our four person team ended up running a MaXx-D as our main source of light. These lights were awesome. With the MaXx-D mounted on our handlebars, the smaller LEDs from other manufactures we used as secondary lights on our helmets were pretty much useless. The MaXx-D is so much brighter it just drowned out smaller lights.

The Exposure lights were not only incredibly bright, they are light and compact. No wires stringing to batteries. So We did not have to struggle to find someplace on the frame to mount a battery. They were convenient to use and set up especially while getting ready for colder laps at night.

The Expose lights worked flawlessly, were simple and quick to mount and were ridiculously bright. If you are looking for new or a first set of light, be sure to give Exposure a long, hard look. They are pretty sweet
