THE M99 DY PRO KNOWS NO LIMITS: THE FASTER THE BRIGHTER!
Brightness curve: M99 DY PRO vs. competitors. *28 inch wheel, 23 mm tires, measured with Shimano DH3N80.
At night, you can activate the powerful high beam function from a speed of 20 km/h (depending on the wheel diameter), which is signaled by an indicator LED in the high beam button. With up to over 1000 lumens, even rapid descents become a wonderful experience. With its 200 lux illuminance, the headlight then warns of obstacles with ample distance. Curves are illuminated by the light shining high up even with a strong inclination of the wheel with the high beam function much better than with a low beam. This absolute world first Supernova implements with an exceptional permission of the Federal Motor Transport Authority which is granted to products whose functions are not yet described by a regulation but which thereby achieve a significant safety gain.
The elegant, pre-forged and then high-precision milled aluminum housing provides perfect protection and cooling for the electronics and bulbs. Supernova has so much experience with the durability of the housing that an unlimited 10-year warranty is given on the metal parts under all conditions of use. The tempered front glass is impact resistant and highly visually efficient, and the UV-resistant, PVC-free cables withstand wide temperature swings, extreme cold and heat. All materials are carefully selected and subjected to strict quality control in our production facility in Gundelfingen near Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, to ensure that the luminaire retains its brilliance over a very long period of time, even with intensive daily use. The construction of all Supernova products is designed to last at least 10 years. Even after this time, each individual part can be repaired or replaced. The assembly is powered by green electricity in Gundelfingen. With this headlamp you can travel around the world, go to work every day or have an exciting adventure vacation.
THE ADVANTAGE OF HIGH BEAMS WHEN ILLUMINATING CURVES
Supernova uses a special high beam with an extra-large aperture angle, which provides light above the central light cone for improved illumination so that signs or hanging branches are much more visible. Standard front lights have a low beam that tilts to the side when cornering so that an essential part of the curve is no longer illuminated. The greatly increased luminosity of the Supernova high beam radiates far beyond the glare horizon and creates an excellent view of curves. This results in a much-improved illumination of the trail when cornering. Thus there is an enormous gain in safety for the cyclist.
HIGH BEAM CAN COMPENSATE WHEN THE SUSPENSION FORK DIPS
MTBs are known to have a particular problem: Because suspensions have a long travel and dip when you brake, the range of the front light can be reduced up to 90%. Supernova’s special high beam is optimized so that a lot of light is available above the cut-off line, so that the fork movement is compensated and the view of the path is maintained. When you ride through the city traffic to get to the trail, you can ride with the glare-free low beam. As soon as needed, you can switch on the high beam at the touch of a button.
M99 MATRIX MIRROR
M99 MATRIX MIRROR
The future is now! Based on scientific research by the Lichttechnical Institute at KIT and funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, the M99 introduced a lighting technology that sets completely new standards in bicycle lighting. An LED matrix, controlled intelligently and combined with a highly complex facetted mirror consisting of 99 individually calculated surfaces, is designed for unprecedented brilliance. After years of development, it has thus become possible for the first time to pack highly potent automotive technology into the miniature format of a bicycle front light.

ALUMINUM HOUSING
ALUMINUM HOUSING
We use aerospace aluminum for our housings because it is not only super strong but also has the best heat conduction properties. The better the cooling, the brighter the LED. In addition, the housings are anodized, salt water-resistant, and defy the most adverse conditions. Extreme tests in all seasons and climates by ultracycling athletes on the road with SUPERNOVA lighting prove their outstanding reliability and durability.

LED COOLING
LED COOLING
We believe in high performance with the best possible efficiency. Cooling extends the service life significantly. The most important prerequisites for an ideal heat dissipation include a careful choice of material and sophisticated construction. For example, completely uninterrupted heat dissipation can only be obtained by a housing that is made seamlessly from a single piece of aluminum. In extreme situations, integrated heat sensors keep the headlight in an optimum temperature range. With extensive computer simulations, our engineers continue to find the most appropriate way to derive the heat from the LEDs. Our more than 20 years of experience with LED front lights comes into its own here.
