The catalog identifies this as a front-and-rear set: Macro Drive 1400+ front light with Tri-Focus Optics and Strip Drive 400+ rear light.
Lezyne describes Radar Drive Rear as a standalone rear unit with a 300-lumen tail light and rear-vehicle detection.
Bell Bell Lumina 300 Headlight
The catalog lists Bell Lumina 300 Headlight with Handlebar mount. Consider it if that light role better fits your setup.
Bell Bell Pharos 650 COB Light Set
The catalog lists Bell Pharos 650 COB Light Set with Front and rear light set. Consider it if that light role better fits your setup.
These are not like-for-like packages, though their rear-light roles overlap. The Macro Drive set includes a Strip Drive 400+ rear light and a 1400+ front headlight. Radar Drive Rear is a standalone 300-lumen tail light with vehicle detection up to 150 m and runtime up to 20 hours. Choose the set if you still need a front beam and rear lamp; choose Radar Drive if rear alerts matter and you already have a front light. The catalog lists $154.99 and $179.99, but the set includes two lights, so price alone is not a value comparison. BikeSize did not test either product.
This comparison uses public manufacturer and product-listing information recorded for both Lezyne offers in the BikeSize accessory catalog, including stated package scope, light output, runtime, radar range, mounting and price details. Manufacturer and retailer claims are presented as such, not as independent results. BikeSize did not purchase, mount, ride, or hands-on test either light and did not measure brightness, runtime, water resistance, or radar performance.
