The CYO Premium beam is clearly better than the IQ-XS. It's wider, it more evenly illuminates the road surface, and it's a bit brighter. I don't know of a bicycle headlight with a better beam than the CYO Premium. The Schmidt headlight has the same shape of beam since it uses the same mirror. It's just a bit brighter at 90 lux vs 80 lux. The IQ-XS has an anodized aluminum housing that is really quite attractive. It's for the rider who wants a good headlight for that once a month ride home after dark when working late, and wants the headlight to look really good on the bike. Think IQ-X or Schmidt Edelux on a budget. The CYO Premium is for the rider who couldn't care less what the headlight looks like and just wants the best headlight beam for the money. > Also re: the toplight...I'm not necessarily looking to change it..I just > need to purchase another rear dyno light for a different bike and since I'm > moving the old Cyo , I thought I'd move my old Toplight and "upgrade" it as > well. > "Toplight" is in the name of all rack mount taillights made by Busch & Müller since at least the early 1990s. There's Toplight Plus, Toplight XS Plus, Toplight Mini, Toplight Line, Toplight View, etc. So you need to tell me which Toplight you have, and then I can give you a recommendation for an upgrade. If the name has worn off, just post a photo. Peter White Peter White Cycles -- Peter White -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
