acumen horn - red98 - 24-05-13

fitted one of those ACUMEN horns last night,advertised as being very loud ,i think 130 db,bit disappointed with the sound and its not as loud as i would like...would be more at home on my grandaughters tricycle  :'(

Red you must be a deaf as me then  :o .


I bought one last year after all the raving on here (and it comes in a nice little tin), and its no louder than the standard farty thing. Internet forums, not always full of good advice  :rolleyes .

I have the Stebel Magnum and cant fault it. The Stebel nautilus is even louder but that's a air horn.

But the tin is great, currently keeping all my screwdriver bits in one place  Smile

I had a steel nautilus but that melted on the fire bike, now got a cheaper Chinese copy, just as loud, 1/3 of the price, bloody brilliant, for full db you must install it with a relay directly powered to the battery, easy enough and on these bikes fit neatly under the left fairing infill!
