About the Cateye brand

Cateye is the leading manufacturer of cycle computers, bike lights and reflectors. In 1964, Cateye became the first company to create a flashing lamp for bicycles.

Cateye Rapid X RC Rear is rated 3.6 out of 5 by 18.
Rated 5 out of 5 by TommyDLB84 from Excellent product Does exactly what you would expect. A clear light that has a good battery life and is quick to recharge.

Rated 1 out of 5 by stevebrinks from poor quality do not buy I have two of these and both haven't lasted long. The first was used in winter but the second one only used as a summer back up light and never wet. It lasted about 5 rides and stopped charging. No rust and no mis-use. waste of money. The first one only lasted just over 12 months. I also have a third the Kinetic one and that has been much better. watch this space though!

Rated 3 out of 5 by AlanPigg from Great for 2 months but not in the wet First and foremost, this light is bright, easily attached to your seat post and has great battery life when on flashing mode. It does what it's supposed to. However, over time, the rubber cap for the micro USB port became loose and today, the port got filled with dirt and water after a wet wintery ride. Even when pointing up instead down at the road. When I got home the light wouldn't turn off and wouldn't cycle through the different light modes. I had to leave it to dry out before being able to turn it off but charging will prove difficult.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Megamatt from Bright and long lasting Great for the price, lasts ages without recharge on flashing mode. Comes with an elastic band rather than usual cat eye bracket which is disappointing but it’s a very good elastic band! I believe brackets are available.

Difference between Cateye Rapid X Rear Light

What's the difference between this light and the Cateye Rapid X Rear Light? http://www.wiggle.co.uk/cateye-rapid-x-rear-light/#itemtop (or put it another way - what does RC stand for?)
Asked by: ClarkJason
Just to confirm the R.C version is a newer version of this light.

O rings are too small

I just bought one of these from a local store - the O ring won't fit round a normal seatpost. What a pile of pants! How are you supposed to fit it? Also the O ring is liable to get lost, regretting my purchase now. Does everyone have this issue?
Asked by: PeterPetros
The straps are small in order to give a strong hold on the light, however the overall fit will vary depend on the size of your seatpost.

I need to know more about the fitting - can this simply be fitted with a clip fitting to fasten onto the rear bag, What comes out of the box?

Asked by: A5JohnW
I can confirm this light comes with an O ring type fitting to attach to your handlebars or seat stays.

Attaching to rack

What attachment do I need to attach onto rack. Cateye Rear Carrier Mounting OR Cateye Rear Multi mounting bracket?
Asked by: gloglo21
This light does not use the Cateye mounting bracket as per other Cateye lights, the light attached would work with the Rack bracket mount though.

Will this light fit an aero (Pinarello) seatpost?

Asked by: RoadRider
As standard, the fitting for this light uses an O-ring system which would not be ideal for an aero seat post I am afraid. In this case a Cateye seat rail mounted option may be more suitable.
