This article is a review of the Oxbow Helmet Light specifically the Oxbow Voyager light.
Let’s be honest……WE NEVER seem to have enough time to get that dirt bike riding in.
This means after-work rides sometimes turn into night rides and every stock headlight I have ever had flat-out stinks. Yes, it’s good enough to get you home in a pinch but let me tell you some of those dark nights in the mountains I was ALWAYS wishing for more light to see further down the trail.
Sound Familiar?
Yes, you can buy much better headlights for your dirt bike and typically I do this on my enduro bikes.
BUT….
There is still one issue…..
The headlight does not look where I look. So this is really important for being able to see whats ahead of you and absolutely crucial is you are racing dirt bikes at night.
The Oxbow Helmet Light can attach to the top or side of your helmet.
Hell, you really can mount it anywhere and in fact, I have mounted the Oxbow Voyager light to my front number plate and used it as a headlight.
Why you need a Dirt Bike Helmet Light
The biggest reason is so you can have more fun.
Oh wait ok so really its so you can be safe. Being able to see where your eyes are looking is crucial and to be honest, when I started really riding at night I thought it would not really be a big deal but turns out its a HUGE deal to be able to light up where you are looking.
I am able to ride WAY faster almost at the same clip as in the daytime.
This also allows me to look ahead down the trail and around corners much better as single track is not the same as Red Bull Straight Rythm.
- Safer than a normal headlight
- WAY brighter than stock headlights
- See further down the trail
- See around Corners
- Light goes with you if you get separated from your bike
- Use as a back up or Spare Light

Oxbow Voyager Dirt Bike Helmet Light Kit (My Opinion)
If you can’t already tell….I really love my Oxbow Voyager helmet light.
I cannot tell you how much it change night riding for me. In fact, we now actively ride at night because the light does so well and it feels like you are riding in the daytime.
This is such a fun and cool experience. Especially in the summer when it’s too hot to ride during the daytime.
The ability to light up the entire trail and also light up where my head goes is a really awesome feature.
Also, for emergencies, it’s a must-have as a backup or to use as a flashlight.
Many times when we have a bike break down or issue we break out the Oxbow light.
For the price, It’s a no-brainer to always have one in your riding pack or truck. Typically I have one in my truck and then one already in my riding vest or pack.
Get one.
Help support the Oxbow Gear brand and trust me they have the best customer service and stand by there gear.
