Roughly a decade has passed since the original Fly6 hit the market. It was 116 grams, not especially attractive and far from perfect. But as one of the original integrated bicycle light/camera units, it was very much a game changer, ushering in a new era of rider safety tech.
For Perth-based Cycliq, it also set in motion a design journey which has culminated in the all-new Fly6 Pro, which is effectively the fifth iteration of the Fly6 concept. Having previously owned a Fly6 CE, I had a real case of Marty McFly writing this review with distinct feelings of ‘Back to the Future’. Let me explain why.
First impressions
The very first thing I noticed was the size of the box. It’s tiny. However, the compact packaging actually belies the size of the Fly6 Pro unit itself, which has been beefed up significantly in comparison to its immediate predecessor, the slimline Fly6 Gen 3. Looking at the spec sheet, the Fly6 Pro has dimensions far more akin to earlier models such as the Fly6 CE.
