So far, on the open roads, I haven't really noticed a 'beam cuttoff'. Maybe this is because I haven't been looking, or the lamp is tilted the wrong way. I am guessing the lamp is tilted too far down, because there is much light down in front of me and not much out beyond.
Here's a pic from the similar cyo -


The cutoff should be apparent if there's something tall and straight that it's pointing at - a wall, or pedestrians. I try to aim mine so the main part of the light doesn't light up their face or chest (to keep the light out of their eyes) but lights up their legs. As high as it can go without getting close to getting into the face of pedestrians or bikers.
