I like the dual rows of LED's that allow you to choose what each side does, one can flash, the other can be solid, or they can flash on different patterns.

I only use the X3 and a Lezyne Strip Drive Pro that I have, which is also 100 lumens. My HotShots, Thunderbolts and all other taillights have been retired. They truly pale in comparison to these two lights.

It appears that Cateye have updated the Rapid X3 to 150 lumen.
