The new Adaptive 2 Series 7" Round LED Motorcycle Headlights from J.W. Speaker set a new standard in motorcycle lighting performance and safety. Designed for riders who demand superior visibility and increased confidence on the road, the Model 8790 Adaptive 2 headlight incorporates advanced adaptive technology in both high and low beam modes. Unlike traditional headlights that struggle to illuminate corners during lean, this headlight uses on-board intelligence and proprietary sensors to dynamically calculate real-time bank angles and automatically adjust the beam pattern. This results in seamless ditch-to-ditch lighting coverage, eliminating dark corners and significantly enhancing visibility when navigating turns.
The Adaptive 2 headlight also delivers a focused punch of light up to 1,500 feet down the road, ensuring long-range visibility for safer night riding. It combines Dual Burn® optics for both high and low beams with ComfortLite® high beam optics, enhancing foreground and down-road illumination. The use of ComfortLite® technology improves light distribution above the horizon, reducing eye strain and dramatically improving rider comfort. Constructed with a rugged, die-cast aluminum housing and outfitted with state-of-the-art LEDs, this headlight not only performs exceptionally but also lends a distinctive, modern appearance to any motorcycle.
Installation is designed to be plug-and-play for most motorcycles with 7" round (PAR56) headlight buckets, making it easy to upgrade older bikes without complex modifications. The headlight is dual-compliant with DOT and ECE regulations, ensuring it meets legal requirements in North America, Europe, and other countries following ECE guidelines. A comprehensive Motorcycle Headlight Fitment Guide is available to help determine if a mounting ring kit is needed for fairing-mounted bikes, particularly older models.
This high-performance LED headlight is ideal not just for motorcycles and powersports applications, but also for a wide range of vehicles including agriculture equipment, off-road 4x4s, specialty vehicles, and even trucks and buses. It supports a 12V DC input voltage and operates within a range of 9–16V DC. The Adaptive 2 consumes 1.9A to 2.9A at 13.5V DC under standard operation, and draws up to 3.5A on low beam or 4.5A on high beam at full lean.
In terms of light output, the Model 8790 Adaptive 2 delivers a raw lumen output of 2,250 lumens on high beam and 2,025 lumens on low beam, with effective lumens rated at 1,150 and 850 respectively. The candela output reaches 48,000 for high beam and 1,150 for low beam, offering exceptional clarity. The nominal LED color temperature is a daylight-like 5000K, ensuring clear, crisp visibility. Beam patterns include forward lighting for both high and low beams, compliant with DOT and ECE standards, as well as signalization for the front position light.
Overall, the Adaptive 2 Series 7" LED motorcycle headlights from J.W. Speaker represent a breakthrough in rider safety and visibility. With adaptive lighting on both beam settings, robust construction, global compliance, and intelligent engineering, this headlight is a premium upgrade for riders looking to master dark roads and sharp corners with confidence.
