MTB light Sigma Karma Evo in a long-term check
The Evo version of the Sigma Karma is significantly brighter than the previous version and is recommended as a headlamp for helmets. We have focussed on the durability of the lamp.

On the way to enlightenment! The Sigma Karma Evo is significantly brighter than the previous version. The peripheral areas are now also better illuminated. Nevertheless, the spotlight is still quite narrow. For almost two winters, the lightweight Sigma shone bravely in regular use on the home circuit, before the battery power diminished and the on/off button became increasingly reluctant to do its job. The Karma then moved to the handlebars as an inconspicuous additional light. A few months later, a break in the battery cable, cracks in the handlebar bracket and the broken front glass sealed the fate of the small light. However, its good deeds in this life will certainly have a positive effect on its future existence. Om.

Sebastian Brust was born in 1979 and was originally socialised on his grandmother's folding bike, but has mainly been riding studded tyres since his fifth birthday. Loves all kinds of bikes - and merging with nature. Believes that disc brakes are much safer today than they were 15 years ago and thinks he has helped with his brake and pad tests. However, the trained vehicle technology engineer very much regrets that the bicycle industry is orientating itself on what he considers to be the wrong ideals of the car industry. At BIKE, he corrects, produces and organises digital content on the website.
