***NOTE*** we are out of stock on the R4. The demand has been huge and we continue to outsell our ability to produce. The next batch will arrive in April and will likely sell out before then. Lock in your pricing today and ensure you get a pair in the next round.
8,592 crystal clear optically focused lumens will get you from A to Zimbabwe. With eight top-binned CREE LED's, a pair of R4's generates more than 8,000 lumens.
Like their big brother the R7, the extra distance and spread of the crystal clear 5000K daylight produced enables you to better see and be seen. Trailside animals, pedestrians, and other hazards are more quickly perceived and reacted to. Don't just survive a ride at dusk, enjoy the scenery along the way.
The key difference between the R4 and R7 are output and size. Both utilize machined optics to provide both a flood and spot beam pattern. If riding a larger adventure bike (GSA, SAR, Multistrada), the ideal setup is to install a set of R4 and R7 lights. With the R4's used as a DRL (daytime running light), and the R7 wired into your stock high beam switch, you will enjoy being seen by others during the day and have all the firepower in the world for night missions across the desert.
Sold as both pairs and single units. Pairs of lights arrive in a special RUBY branded box, single light orders are individually wrapped without the RUBY box.
A single R4 is rated at 4,296 lumens, 8,592 lumens as a pair.

Mounting the R4's on the crashbars on my KTM 1290 SAR was easy and a great fit. I had trouble setting up the EXHexCAN and getting it registered though. Their customer service was great and finally got me going. The hardest part was taking off the body work and running the wires. Now that it is all done I took it for a ride today and everything worked great. I started out with full brightness on daytime low beam and had all sorts of people flashing their brights at me. I turned them down to 40% and it's a good combination of cars seeing me without blinding them. Can't wait to ride in the dark and see how they work. Lots of light in a small package. Recommended!
If I were a non-technical person and someone installed my lights, I would rave about the light quality and how good they look. If I were a technical person and installed my own lights, I would first marvel at how much quality is built into the design of everything I installed. Well, as a 50+ year Automotive Master Tech and specializing in electrical, let me tell you how much of a joy this product is for me. The connectors are first rate with their waterproof collar locks. No corrosion will get in here. Second, the angle mount for the lights themselves are a bit of genius. You can install them three different ways and at first glance I thought these were self tapping screws. Nope! Custom cut threads in the aluminum. The lamps themselves are heavy units constructed of billet aluminum with fins that dissipate the heat effectively, not to mention they are a work of art. When pairing them up with a CanBus module and Ruby's conversion cables, are truly plug and play. The wiring is first rate. Each part I assembled or handled made me realize how much thought went into each piece. These lights are truly worth the time it took to install (not long) and I look forward to many years with them on the bike. Oh yeah! The light that throws from the lamps are outstanding as well and they look great!
Great quality and great customer service
I just finished installing the R4's of my 2007 BMW R1200GS complete with the Ruby dimmer controller. I took my time and pulled the tank off the bike and ran the harness alongside the bikes wiring harness and used the posilock connectors to tap into the horn and the high and low beam circuits. Taking my time, it took about 4-5 hours. The results are absolutely amazing. On the lowest setting, these are brighter than the cheap Amazon knock-offs on my buddy's bike. On the high setting, they are retina melting bright, and these are just the R4's! The simple stand alone controller is a must. The safety functions and dimming ability is almost required for the road. The LED's will throw off some serious heat on high, but the billet-machined housing does an excellent job of dissipating this heat. This is a well-engineered and well-designed light. The quality of the hardware and construction of everything is top-notch. If i ever upgrade my bike, these lights are staying with me. Thank you, Ruby, for making a top quality product at a reasonable price.
I have had R4’s on my BMW GS for years and love the lights enough that I just bought and mounted a set on my Harley Road Glide. Same easy installation and terrific results! Added the hi vis covers for ultimate visibility and couldn’t be happier. Thanks Ruby Moto for your superb products!
