Pierre, With the "old" SON28, I can climb at between 10 and 12kph and still have steady light beams on my bike. Both front and rear. The headlight is a B&M Cyo with B&M tail light. With a Supernova light front and rear (like on my Sam Hillborne) the light does flicker a bit below 12kph.
Again, it's not an issue with the B&M light. And I actually prefer the light pattern over the Supernova. Hope this helps somewhat.
