The XL Trail Lens: Designed For Enduro Riders
We are proud to announce the release of the XL Trail Lens, a new lens optic developed exclusively for enduro moto riders riding tight, technical singletrack trails utilizing the XL80.
For years, Baja Designs has pushed the boundaries of our ClearView™ Technology, our proprietary optics designed by engineers who understand real-world lighting demands. ClearView™ was originally developed for racing applications and then adapted for everyday riders. We thought we could make the light even better for slower enduro-specific riding. The result is the all-new XL Trail Lens, purpose-built to deliver maximum usability for enduro-focused, slower trail riding.
Redirect the Light Where You Need It
The XL Trail Lens is a brand-new beam pattern designed specifically for technical trail environments: rocky switchbacks, hill climbs, elevation changes, and tight terrain where traditional spot or combo patterns fall short due to limited vertical spread but mainly focus on distance, mostly utilized for high-speed terrain.
The XL Trail Lens combines both vertical and horizontal spread into a single beam pattern. This provides increased visibility not only in front of the motorcycle, but also into dips, valleys, and around corners, exactly where riders’ eyes and front tires need to track next. So riders can focus on what is immediately in front of them.
Improved Visibility
ClearView™ Technology itself is engineered around seven defined Lighting Zones. Baja Designs pioneered this zone-based approach and was the first to create purpose-built beam patterns for often-overlooked areas such as cornering, dust/fog, and high-speed spot. The new XL Trail Lens continues this design ethos of innovation, reshaping the high-intensity output of the XL80 into a balanced, wide, and usable pattern ideal for technical riding.
The Baja Designs XL Trail Lens will be available exclusively for the XL80 in both Clear and Baja Amber variants. The XL80’s high-output platform is required to maximize the performance of the new optic; therefore, the lens is not compatible with XL Sport, XL Pro, or XL Racer models. Moving forward, all XL80 Moto Kits will come standard with the XL Trail Clear Lens.
One of the primary advantages of the XL Trail Lens is the elimination of the “hot spot” common in combo lenses when used in tight, slower terrain. Instead, riders benefit from a clean, evenly distributed beam that enhances near-field and peripheral visibility, a critical factor in maintaining flow through technical sections.
Every Baja Designs optic begins with an initial digital design, followed by meticulous in-house prototyping and real-world testing by the same engineers who build them. With firsthand racing and trail experience, the Baja Designs engineering team ensures every ClearView™ optic performs in the most demanding conditions.
XL Trail Lens Features:
- Increased vertical and horizontal spread of light to help riders see deeper into corners
- Enhanced near-field and peripheral visibility
- Optimized for enduro riders spending most time in 1st–4th gear
- Available in Clear or Baja Amber lens kit variants
- Designed exclusively for XL80 moto specific applications
- All XL80 Moto Kits will now come standard with the XL Trail Clear Lens
