With the Denali D3 and Denali D7 Pro models, Touratech is adding two of the most powerful LED headlight units to its range. As well as providing excellent road illumination, these auxiliary headlights are characterised by their seamless integration into the vehicle’s electrical system and extensive configuration options.
Why fit additional headlights to a motorcycle? The standard lighting system on modern motorcycles is adequate for many situations – but in fog and rain, or when riding at night on unpaved tracks, standard headlights quickly reach their limits. Under these conditions, auxiliary headlights offer a significant safety advantage: a much higher luminous flux, a wider beam angle and a significantly increased beam range ensure improved illumination of the road. At the same time, they improve the visibility of the motorcycle thanks to the wider light silhouette.
Typical applications:
- Night-time riding off-road or on gravel tracks
- Riding in bad weather, such as fog and rain
- Increased visibility on the road as a supplement to daytime running lights
GEN II CANsmart control unit: Seamless integration into the vehicle’s electrical system A key feature of the Denali headlights is their innovative GEN II CANsmart control unit. It enables model-specific integration into the vehicle’s CAN bus electronics – including vehicle-specific connectors and compatible software. On supported BMW models, the auxiliary headlights can be operated via the existing on-board switches or the BMW Multi Controller, without the need to install additional switches.
In addition, individual configuration via a laptop is possible. Using the CANsmart Accessory Manager software, the brightness, lighting mode and operating behaviour of the headlights can be freely defined – either differently for each unit or synchronised. Available modes include, amongst others, high beam and low beam, fog lights and daytime running light functions. When using these on public roads, the applicable legal regulations must be observed.
Two options for different requirements
Denali D3
The D3 is the more compact of the two auxiliary headlights. With three Cree XP-P LEDs, it produces a powerful raw luminous flux of 2,100 lumens with a power consumption of 11 watts per unit. A key feature is the TriOptic Lens System: each headlight incorporates both a spot lens and a hybrid driving lens. This allows the light pattern to be varied between a precise high beam with a spot range of up to 582 metres (at 1 lux) and wider illumination of the terrain. The housing and optics are IP67-certified – meaning the D3 is waterproof and can be submerged for short periods. The spotlight is ECE R112-compliant.
Denali D7 Pro
The D7 Pro is the even more powerful version. Seven Cree XML3 LEDs deliver an impressive raw luminous flux of 11,900 lumens with a total power consumption of 98 watts (8 A). By way of comparison, a high-quality H4 bulb delivers a maximum luminous flux of 1,650 lumens at a power consumption of 60 watts. A key feature of the Denali D7 Pro is its dual-beam technology, which allows independent control and dimming of the central flood beam, the outer spot beam or the all-on hybrid beam. The following operating modes are available:
- DRL Boost mode: The central LEDs can be used in low-intensity daytime running light mode or as a powerful floodlight beam.
- Integrated indicator mode: The central floodlight lenses can be configured as amber-coloured DRLs or as floodlights that flash in sync with the vehicle’s indicators.
- CANsmart compatibility: Control of over 20 functions and settings via the
CANsmart Accessory Manager
The modular, interchangeable Snap-On X-Lens allows you to adjust the beam shape and colour on the go. For the medium flood beam, you can choose between white, amber or selective yellow. The D7 Pro’s housing is certified to IP68 and IP69K standards – meaning it is not only permanently waterproof and submersible, but also high-pressure resistant, making it suitable for use in extreme conditions. The D7 Pro also carries ECE R112 certification.
Mounting
Depending on the vehicle model, the Denali headlights are mounted either using a model-specific bracket on the frame or by securing them firmly to the existing crash bars. Touratech kits contain all the components required for installation.
Availability
The Denali D3 and D7 Pro motorcycle auxiliary headlights are now available from the Touratech online shop. For further information, visit www.touratech.de
