Delta Cycle Delta Airzound Bike Horn , colors may vary

Product Information

The two AAA batteries are included in the box. However, for anyone who plans on using the Hornit long-term, I’d encourage rechargeable batteries to prevent waste. Bells tend to be slightly cheaper, but horns won’t exactly break the bank. In the end, it comes down to where and when you use your bike, and whether you need a lot of volume to be safe. Bike Bells The Hornit has two different sound profiles, a dual-tone alarm which sounds more like a personal safety alarm and a horn setting, which is loud and outperformed both of the other electric bike horns featured in this review.

This technology we use to assemble our list depends on a variety of factors, including but not limited to the following: Meanwhile, I am also impressed with its separate switch design. Meaning, this product is made with the bike horn and the control switch being separate. What it does is give you the leeway to install the switch where you a more comfortable preferable near your thumb for easy usage.All of these factors will guide you in choosing the one that fits your bike and fits your needs on the road. Please see our list below: I found that the horn sound profile was the best option for gaining the attention of others. The three bell noises sound grainy and confused several pedestrians during my testing. The Delta Airzound comes very close regarding how much I enjoyed using it, but it required refilling a few times. The Hornit, however, is battery-powered, and with regular use (6 horn blasts per day), the two AAA batteries should last a year before needing to be replaced.

Size】：Size: Horn length: 11 inches / 279mm, rubber ball diameter: 2.36 inches / 60mm, suitable for 22.2mm diameter handlebars. Same applicability, bigger size.Despite its water-repelling abilities, if you’re living in a rainy or humid climate, you should take the Hornit inside with you because, over time, condensation can penetrate the device and cause issues. The horn is super steady and comes with a one-to-one reaction to your press and the release of the button. On top of that, the button is easy to feel for the user, while the noise it produces is enough to get people’s attention on the road. I have since tried the Airzound and have had similar results with charging dogs. That’s important to me because my riding area includes lots of rural roads with unrestrained canines.

You may be thinking that you can just yell when something happens…and this is true. I find the advantage of the AirZound is you can give a light ‘warning’ tap when you’re not sure what someone is going to do. If you think someone is going to pull out in front of you, when they shouldn’t, you can give a light tap and this usually stops people from doing anything silly. You can see this in action, with this video clip of mine. Watch the Silver car think about going – two short taps of the AirZound air horn and they don’t pull out in front of me. Meanwhile, the bike horn is also covered with soft silicone material. If you try to hold the bike horn., it feels very soft and comfortable to the hand. The softness means it will not damage any paint on your bike once mounted on the handlebar. In addition, this bike horn is also energy-saving. Meaning, it does not use too much power coming from the two AAA batteries. These batteries should last for about six months, depending on the frequency of your usage, but it’s actually a very long time. Material】：Made of steel tube, the outer layer of electroplating, so that the horn is not afraid of the wind and sun more robust and durable. Rubber ball texture is soft, easy to use and does not hurt your hands. I’ve had my AirZound horn since 2009 and it has come in handy many, many times. I got my AirZound after researching into electric and air horns for bicycles. I commuted 30 miles a day at this point and was planning on making DIY bike horn after being in a few nasty situations that a horn would of helped stop. I did some research on the internet and found there were a few options out there. The first solution I found was an electric bicycle horn. The sales pitch sounded fantastic, but I saw a video of a demonstration on YouTube and it sounded terrible, so that was a big no-no. A little bit more research and I found the AirZound bike horn. I have no regrets having bought it! How does the AirZound bike horn work?FAST INSTALLATION: Easy to install and protect bike paint with elastic rubber strap, no extra tools needed. High-elastic straps help to mount on different diameter handlebars.Firmly attached to the frame even on the bumps and extreme roads. The alternative arrangement involves cable tying a provided Velcro swatch to the frame, which then adheres to the Velcro on the canister, and then further securing the canister with the provided Velcro strap. While the whole deal looks a bit flimsy, it’s proven surprisingly secure over the many miles I’ve ridden since installing it on the bottom side of my bike’s downtube. Once you’ve mounted the air tank, you can attach the horn to a convenient location on your handlebars using the mounting clasps provided. What is unique about this bike bell is it comes with adhesive pads which keep it from slipping upside down from the handlebar. This problem is usually an issue with other bike horns, but this product has found a way to solve the problem.
