Review on πŸ” Sprintech Road Drop Bar Rearview Bike Mirror - Single, Left Side Dropbar, Black - Enhancing Cycling Safety and Visibility by David Perez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It all depends on your expectations

What made me want to try the Sprintech Road Drop Bar bike rear view mirror was that I have been using the EVT Safe Zone bike helmet mirror for 2 years. There are 2 issues with EVT Safe that I wanted to see if I could solve them by purchasing a Sprintech.1 mirror. Every time I touch the helmet mirror or it touches something I have to readjust it and that happens many times. When that happens, I'm not always aware of it, and I only see that the mirror has shifted after starting the journey. To bring it back to its original position I have to stop. this is not possible while driving2. it doesn't look good so today I rode with both mirrors for the first time. Let's proceed to see if the issues have been resolved.1. Partially solved: The mirror moved every time I stood and pedaled. my knee moved. The good news is I don't pedal standing up and if the mirror has moved it can be reset while driving. no need to stop.2. The problem is solved. The bad news is that you can see the field of view behind you while driving. With my EVT mirror, I can see the cars and drivers clearly, like I'm looking around. I can see the entire height from my head to the street. With the Sprintech mirror, my playground is limited and smaller. So the bottom line is that if I had bought a Sprintech mirror first, I probably wouldn't have replaced it. but that is not the situation. I have a comparison and although my EVT mirror issues have been almost completely resolved with the Sprintech mirror, I would prefer to continue using the EVT helmet mirror simply because I can always see more clearly what's going on behind me.

Pros
  • Sport
Cons
  • Good but not great
