The only thing I have to compare this to are the two Fenix I have, both L2D one a Q5 model the other the premium and this light compares favorably to both of those. The Fenix seem to throw a little large beam but the hot spots are pretty darn similar.
I forgot to add that the build quality seems pretty darn similar too and I'm running Lacrosse Nimh at the moment. Ordered some Eneloops last night.
And Brett, you'll have to check with someone else on the trail riding thing as most of my stuff is commuting on roads. A lot would depend on your expected speed of course.
$40 cheaper than the Fenix.
