Strykr, SL System
Battery powered LED
light for all your adventures – designed as a helmet light and handlebar light
for your mountain bike or road bike. The Strykr SL can also be a great addition for your motorcycle or ATV.
Producing 925 lumens and weighing in at only 470 grams the Strykr SL will light up anything you toss at it. The Strykr SL will run up to 12 hours and is completely waterproof up to 33 ft.
Strykr, SL System Includes:
Here's a great synopsis of our Strykr series light systems sent to forum member on MTBR.com:
"Hi SoCal_Jack,
The Baja Designs Strykr series systems have multiple levels that break
down by halves, so you have 3hrs on High (925 lumens), 6hrs on Medium
(roughly 450
lumens), and 12hrs of Low (roughly 225 lumens), the Flasher mode last
for up to
30hrs on a full battery on the single beam systems. The Double Stryk
gets half
the burn time that the single beam systems get, but generally you are
able to
cruise around in the Mid and Low settings and still have more than
plenty of
light. Of course the ultimate combo is the Double Stryk and Strykr SL,
but
honestly with the level of light that is being produced you'll be stoked
with
any combination you'd like to go with. (but I recommend the most
expensive one
;) )
The battery uses Sanyo cells, is fully armored, water proof, and is warrantied
for two years (the rest of the system's electronics has a life-time warranty), I believe two
years is twice as long as the best warranty in the industry. The charger that comes with the Strykr II is a smart charger (red when
charging/green when done) that takes 2.5hrs to top off a battery that has been
fully drained.

2012 MTBR.com Light Shootout review of the Baja Designs Strykr SL:
Last year this light was called the Baja Designs Stryker Pro and it
put out 43 lux on the Mtbr Ambient Light Meter and it was a bit of a
disappointment. It was a bit lower than the Baja Stryker even though it
shared most of the same components. Well, Baja Designs searched and
found the problems and came out with the new and improved Stryker SL. It
now leaps up to 74 Lux and matches the output of its sibling now called
the Stryker II.
The purpose of the Stryker SL is primarily for helmet mounting as the
Stryker II has a huge head. The Stryker SL is a much smaller, sleeker
package with more advanced mounting system. It can be used for handlebar
mounting as well for folks who prefer smaller system on their bars. In
the end, we believe the ideal application for this light is as helmet
light to complement a bar mounted Stryker II or the stunning new Double
Stryk from Baja.
Specifications:- Claimed Lumens: 950 Lumens (*925 Lumens)
- Light Head Weight: 99 grams
- Installed Weight: 430 grams
- Run Time: 3 hrs on High, 6hrs on Medium, 12hrs on Low, 30hrs on Flasher modes
- Measured MTBR Lux: 74 Lux
Mounting:
Unlike the Stryker II, this has a very slick mounting system that can
be installed by hand and moved from bike to bike easily. A helmet mount
is included as well.
MTBR Light Meter Measurements:
This light measured 74 lux on our ambient light measurement facility.
This is a huge leap from last year and now matches its Stryker II
sibling.
Light Meter Charts and Comparison Table »
Strengths:
- Excellent brightness and beam pattern
- Rugged head unit design
- Now useable for helmet (*all Strykr series light systems are compatible with the Low Profile Helmet Mount)
- Handlebar mounting is now removable and can be aimed left to right
- Water proof up to 30 feet under water (*33ft)
- beam pattern is wide with a wide option lens included in the package
Weaknesses:
- Should have a smaller battery option
Bottom Line:
This is a key light in the Baja Designs line, offering a smaller light with
their quality optics and construction. This is functional, versatile and
will do well solo or complementing a bar mounted Double Stryk or Styker II"
