Igaro Reviews 114

Andrew was super helpful in communicating with me about the setup of igaro C1 on my bike, placement, mounts, etc. so when i placed my order I was sure I had all components/accessories I needed for proper install given my bike's setup. Great communication throughout the entire process. Item shipped quickly, and arrived quickly considering it was shipped to US. I had some trouble getting the app to connect to the C1. On the website there is a note under the C1 App heading that describes the issue i was having with a 'Connecting, Discovering, Reading' loop that causes the app/phone to fail to connect to the C1. I followed the directions, turning off bluetooth a few times, and it connected right away. The app is super impressive with a large variety of configuration options, but the light worked without even having my phone connected so I suppose If you were not interested in configuring you could just plug and play. Very impressed, highly recommend this company and the C1 and R1 lights.

Igaro responded very quickly to some questions I had about mounting options, and my order was dispatched promptly with no issues.
I've yet to try the C1 + R1 light combo as my drivetrain is on back order, but I'm a long time user of Igaro's D1 which has lasted exceptionally well and is still a great bit of kit. I'm really looking forward to taking the C1 + R1 for a spin!

The actual hardware is fantastic – by far one of the most configurable, powerful lights I've used, with all sorts of smart features that are actually useful. Maybe even better is the fact that, while I take comfort that I can reconfigure it to my liking if my needs change, the default settings out the box are excellent and will work for ~90% of people.

The only pain point really was the setup. The wiring is pretty DIY: while soldering isn't strictly necessary, get ready to get creative. The wiring is also a little flimsy looking and has me a bit worried about longevity. (The benefit is that it's completly standard plugs, so you can easily replace wires.) Weather sealed plugs or some sort of cover would let me sleep better at night.
Finally, because of the ambient light sensor, when you try to test the light in a bright area, you'll never see the light turn on, making you think you got the wiring wrong. This happened with my local shop: they didn't understand the light, gave up and just told me good luck. Some clearer/more detailed documentation would go a looong way.

I installed the IGARO S1 Pro a couple of weeks ago. While it is overall a great piece of kit, it an important weaknesses - the connector port: Too weak in its design it does not well support the USB-C and power leads and in my view it also does violate the claimed IP69 rating. This area needs redesign. I also feel that the manual could be clearer on the explanation of the various LED lighting codes...

Shipment to Austria worked well. Had no chance to test the C1 extensively but so far everything is working.

The Igaro S1 produces a clearly audible noise from around 15 km/h, like a buzzing, with pitch increasing as speed increases.
The noise is sometimes almost continuous, sometimes intermittent during a ride.
An audio sample at 23-25 km/h is available on soundcloud (igaro-s1-noise).

Igaro initially acknowledged that internal components can vibrate and shared a manufacturer explanation.
When I asked for a replacement, they later stated that the noise was normal for all their products due to over-voltage protection.
This contradicts my experience with a silent Igaro D2 on the same bike and setup.
Igaro ultimately refused to replace the unit, stating that this is normal operation.

My new S1 Pro arrived promptly and looks like it works really well. I previously had another brand of dynamo USB charger which did not usefully charge my iPhone or a generic power bank, at my 15kmh avg touring speed with a SP PD8 dynamo hub.
The Igaro S1 put 10% into my iPhone 16 pro in 1 hour at 15kmh avg, and 15% in 1 hour at 25kmh avg. That looks good. It’ll be interesting to see how things go on an extended bike packing trip with a number of devices to keep charged. I feel much better equipped to be able to keep up with power for my iPhone, GPS, head torch, rear light and head phones now.
Thanks Igaro.

Used the Igaro S1 on a 20 day off-road adventure in remote terrain. Its absolutely fantastic. It functioned perfectly in all conditions (cold, heat, heavy rain) and survived a few crashes with no issue. I could charge my Garmin Edge, Garmin inReach or a 120000 mAh power bank from the unit at the same time as providing power to my Exposure Revo light. Amazing, highly recommended.

Outstanding lighting, c1 and r1 have been flawless.

Super easy and fast delivery. Spot on customer service

The D2 is an excellent product. Works as it should. Very solid.

Fast delivery. On the negative side: had to pay extra money for customs. That has been a bit easier before Brexit

Fast shipment. Great products. Good and clear communication. I bought two D1's in the past. The first one was the earliest D1 version. It worked great. Then I bought the updated D1. I still have them. But now I bought the D2 and S1. I installed the S1 easily. I have yet to use the D2, but plan to install it on my secondary bike. Thank you to Team Igaro!

The unit failed due to water ingress despite being used exclusively with the official 3D-printed under-stem case, as marketed and instructed by the manufacturer. My bike is fitted with full-length mudguards and stored under cover 99% of the time when not in use.

I have contacted Igaro, who has denied the warranty claim, citing a manual exclusion for USB water ingress. However, I believe this exclusion is unreasonable given the product’s marketing and intended use.

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, goods must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and as described. I believe this product does not meet these criteria.

Shopping was fast, but the tracking did not work.
The D2 works great with my DT Swiss dynamo

It's a good charger. It does what it's supposed to. Thank you! I'm very satisfied.

The products were delivered quickly and have great quality! I am super happy with my purchase. One item of my delivery was missing in the first shipment, a quick email resolved that issue and I received the missing part asap. Loved the experience from start to finish.

Igaro provides excellent customer service and quality products. Delivery was quick, and they were helpful in sorting out an order issue. Setup was easy, and the performance of their devices is reliable. Though some items are pricey or a bit bulky, they remain quite unique. Highly satisfied overall—would recommend!

Excellent light better than the expected.
