The Cateye Nano60 is a rechargeable rear light designed for regular riding, both on the road and around town. Its compact size lets you mount it discreetly on the seatpost while still offering multiple lighting modes to match visibility to the conditions.

The Nano60 offers six modes: two steady modes, a standard flash, a group mode and two daytime flash modes. Maximum output reaches 60 lumens in HyperFlash 1, while the most powerful steady mode delivers 20 lumens.

Useful features

• USB-C rechargeable rear light
• Mounts with two different-size rubber straps
• Compatible with seatposts up to 130 mm in outer circumference
• Snap System™ lets you remove the light unit without taking off the mount
• Memory of the last mode used
• Low-battery indicator
• Automatic power-saving mode on low battery
• IPX4 water resistance against splashes

Runtime varies significantly by mode. Daytime HyperFlash 2 offers up to 20 h of theoretical runtime, while the High steady mode drops to 3 h 30 min. The IPX4 rating is suitable for everyday use and splashes, but it does not replace a higher level of protection for riding long periods in heavy rain.

Tested by GravelPassion

We liked the straightforward operation, the stable mount and the quick removal of the light unit for charging. The Nano60 suits riders after a compact, practical rear light, without connected features or a bulky body. For long rides in sustained rain or when maximum output is required, other models will be more appropriate.
