It's very good. Works very well. But my only gripe is it needs a different sound. One sound is too high pitch so some people don't hear it and the other sound is similar to a car alarm. So most people take no notice to it until you're right on top of them or they're under your wheels. It needs a third sound that catches attention. But it's worth the money and I probably would buy again.

I had a Mark1 hlnit which, after several years, stopped working. This model had a solid, well designed clip-on attachment for the handlebar. In the new model this has been replaced with a fairly flimsy rubber strap. Very likely to tear after some use. Not too impressed!

Boasting '140dB equivalent of sound - 4 times louder than the nearest competitor', is impressive. But the "140dB equivalent" is of little consequence if it fails to exact the desired effect one would anticipate! Specifically, the Hornit Cycle Bike Horns '2 high pitched sound modes' seamlessly blend with background street noise one would hear on a daily basis. With 2 sound modes that both bear resemblance to a car/van ALARM, who's going to take notice? From my frustrating experience, NO ONE - NOT the pedestrians OR road users!! After all, we expect a vehicle to be both 'parked' & 'stationary' when its alarm sounds! PROS: * Horn trigger can be fitted to 'brake' simultaneously whilst sounding horn; * Can be frequently discharged without having to replenish batteries in one cycle journey (as is the case with 'air' in Cycle Air Horns); * Good build quality. CONS: * BOTH Hornit Cycle Horn modes sound like a vehicles alarm - NOT a horn!; * 'Extremely few' individuals pay attention to the horns sound (from my continued experience). Horn Design Improvement: * Redesign the horn maintaining decibel equivalent sound to create 'Lower Sounding Modes' that resemble a vehicles 'HORN' [NOT a vehicles 'alarm']. Without prejudice, should the Hornit Cycle Bike Horn design team incorporate the above improvements into an upgraded version of this item [incorporate 'sound depth' & 'resemblance' to a vehicles horn], then I would strongly recommend & support this upgraded future version. Regrettably in my respectful view, as it currently stands, whilst the Hornit Cycle Horn is of good build quality, I do NOT consider this product to be value for money, as it merely lends itself to being significantly 'unfit' for the purpose intended!Read full review

Excellent piece of kit a must have! ! Easy to fit. 1 tone for pedestrians 1 for traffic. Good value. Sent quickly. Worked really well yesterday amongst Zombie pedestrians. Best advice. But a Hornit. Throw the (ping) bell on the non.

Well , first of all I doubt it’s 140db or you’d have bleeding eardrums , but it is ear piercingly loud when it is on the Siren Tone , The Low pitch Car Horn Sound is not so Loud. Unless you Have Chunky Handle bars ,You’ll need to get a Bit creative as to fitting the Sounder as it will slide down with the Stretchy rubber loop it uses to fit. I used an Empty Loo Roll cardboard , cut it to about an inch wrap it around you handle bars and use some black electrical tape to go around the cardboard . The wire is a little long so again it’s down to ones own creativity . As per say for the button too. But don’t take these as negatives , if you compare people’s reactions to a Bell vs the Hornit 140db , it is day and Night . I found it annoying when nobody cared for a Bell , I now find it amusing how people scarper And indeed drivers who may be oblivious to you the Bell has Zero effect. Well people certainly take notice of a siren . As far as I’m concerned I have this to say. IF YOU DONT HAVE ONE . THEN WHY NOT ? BEST SUB £20 I have spent in a long time. Read full review
