I've been using this model of rearview mirror for over three years. I love it! But over time, the hinge has loosened, and the mirror shifts out of place whenever the bike hit a crack or a small bump in the road. That's why I just bought a new one, but the new one already has the same problem. Is there any way to make the hinge more secure?
🌟 TEMPO / THE BEAM – Company
THE BEAM is a brand created and distributed by TEMPO, a company committed to redefining safety and design in the world of cycling accessories. Our mission is to empower cyclists to ride smarter, safer, and more confidently — whether they’re urban commuters, road cyclists, or weekend riders.
In a world where cycling is booming but safety remains a challenge, we’ve positioned THE BEAM as a premium yet accessible brand that puts innovation, functionality, and aesthetics at the heart of every product.
Our flagship product, the VIRGO urban helmet, is the result of years of development. It’s one of the first full-face urban helmets on the market, equipped with integrated MIPS® technology for brain protection, a magnetic visor system, rear LED brake lights, and urban-ready styling. Launched recently, VIRGO has already sold over 5,000 units across Europe — a strong indicator of its resonance with modern riders.
Alongside the helmet, we’ve developed best-selling accessories like the CORKY and CORKY URBAN rear-view mirrors, which discreetly integrate into drop bars or flat handlebars. These mirrors offer both visibility and elegance — a rare combination in the bike accessory space.
We work closely with industrial designers, engineers, and select factories to develop original products, avoiding white-label strategies. Our focus is on building long-term brand value through product quality, creative marketing, and direct customer feedback.
THE BEAM follows a hybrid business model:
-
D2C (Direct-to-Consumer) via our Shopify-based ecommerce site, where we engage directly with customers across Europe.
-
B2B (Retail & Wholesale) with a growing network of retailers and distributors in France, Germany, and other key European markets.
Our products are currently retailed through carefully selected partners who share our values and positioning. We support them with visual content, product training, and pricing policies that protect margins and ensure consistency across channels.
With TEMPO handling logistics, production, and strategy, and THE BEAM growing as a recognizable brand in the urban mobility space, we’re now expanding our product line with smart accessories — such as digital rear-view cameras, hands-free kits for helmets, and connected lighting systems.
More than a cycling brand, THE BEAM is a design-led safety movement, focused on making the roads more comfortable and intuitive for everyone on two wheels.
As we grow, we aim to continue launching limited, high-quality collections, prioritize meaningful partnerships, and expand our retail presence without compromising our identity.
We’re here for the long ride — building a brand cyclists are proud to wear and recommend.
THE BEAM s'est forgé une solide réputation grâce à son mélange caractéristique de sécurité et de style, et a jusqu'à présent étendu ses activités à 10 pays. THE BEAM a reçu plusieurs prix internationaux pour la sécurité, le design, l'innovation et les affaires, dont le Red Dot Award, l'un des trois prix de design les plus prestigieux au monde.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.6 / 5 from 55 reviews.
The product is good, fits easily, adjustable and provides a clear and wide view behind. However the delivery is slow and as it turns out very costly. Beam charge extra for delivery and include a UK VAT charge of €10.65. Because the shipping is via Royal Mail it is intercepted by HMRC who use RM to collect an additional VAT charge of £10 plus £8 handling. So in total 2 mirrors cost €64 (£55.50) + £18 a total of £73.50 and delivery is delayed until the charge is paid. There seems no way to communicate with RM other than automated chat lines which do not cater for a query of the VAT charge. Even worse BEAM will not reply to emails querying the charges. NB it is clear on the HMRC website that anything valued over £35 even a gift is subject to VAT when imported to the UK.
It was EXACTLY what I needed to feel safer on my daily bike-to-work on a 70kmph road! Super easy to install, even more to adjust to see the perfect range of the road thanks to its rotational link, and the possibility to fold it when not used is a must for a longer life!
bad design, doesent work
easy to adjust, good daily usage, covered when not needed
pratique sur mon vélo de route, hyper rassurant, peux plus rouler sans.
While on vacation my mirror broke taking bike off car. Had to do a 20 mile ride with out my Beam mirror. I almost feel blind without it. Got mine years ago when the company was starting. Can’t imagine riding without it
Ths
small but useful
Perfect.
This Is the second corky that I have. When I bought the second road bike wasn't install the little mirror and felt like naked with out It. Now I feel much better because I can check what is moving behind me. Safety first
Excellent!
Klasse Spiegel für Dropbarlenker. Lediglich das Einrasten fällt manchmal etwas schwer.
I've got 3 ebikes and I'm using 3" (76 mm) mirrors and I'm always hitting them maneuvering the ebikes in the garage. Purchased 3 CORKY URBAN Flat Bar Rearview Mirrors hoping to replace the 3" mirrors and not have a problem adapting to the CORKY URBAN Flat Bar Rearview Mirrors smaller size. No problem at all! Installed them and went for a 25 mile (40k) ride in urban/residential areas. The CORKY URBAN Flat Bar Rearview Mirrors performed flawlessly and provided an excellent view of vehicles approaching from behind.
Excelente producto y sumamente útil para tener más seguridad y confianza en el tráfico de la calle. Altamente recomendado.
The piece you need on your race bike to keep what's going on behind you under control
good quality but hard to cntrol on move
Great product.
So far everything works very well and the mirror helps a lot.
I ordered a red one but was sent a black one instead
Excellent produit : facile à installer, presque invisible quand il est fermé, très précis dans le réglage il ne bouge pas, même sur des routes un peu dégradés. Commandé sur Amazon, reçu 4 jours après commande.
Great mirror that I've bought for the second time (my first one was stolen a couple of month ago). Easy setup and good visibility, very handy! One annoying thing though is that on the first one I've bought, the mirror came loose from its mount several times, I had to mount it again each time, which is not easy. PS: @The Beam: I ordered the red one a month and a half ago, but I've just received the... black one. Not great.
I've bought the corky two years ago and I don't want to miss it. It's great for my daily commute to see when cars pass me by, and when I'm on long bicycle trips I can easily see if my friends behind me can keep up or if I need to slow down. I've tried one of those bicycle radar things, but I prefer the corky since It gives me more information on what's coming up from behind. Once it's folded away, I don't have to worry about it for example when stowing my bike in a train.
Product is excellent, customer service not at all
Très utile. Il faut s’habituer… Au départ c’est déroutant. Puis lorsqu’on sait comment le régler c’est juste fantastique. Esthétique discret efficace !
Fine
Idéal pour repérer les points de pincement sur la route et éviter les graviers, les vitres, etc. d'un simple coup d'œil.
La livraison a été assez lente, mais l'article lui-même est excellent. C'est mon deuxième miroir car le premier s'est cassé (et j'ai ensuite perdu le miroir lui-même), mais je ne m'imagine plus rouler sans miroir car je n'ai plus besoin de tourner la tête à chaque occasion. Vraiment génial !
Bonne qualité, c'est vraiment un plus sur le vélo tout en restant discret j'adore
Une petite chose nette. Fait ce qu'il promet.
Merci de votre compréhension.
Bon et pratique .
Produit bien fait, efficace
Tout est parfait. Je n'ai pas trouvé d'informations sur le prix de vente. Le produit a été acheté il y a environ 7 jours et fonctionne parfaitement. Schön unauffällig und dezent
Super !
Utile - Installation facile
Ce rétroviseur Corky est top ! Très pratique sur de la longue distance pour ne pas avoir à se retourner en permanence pour voir arriver les véhicules par l'arrière. Je ne peux plus m'en passer. Je conseille :-)))
Petit, discret mais efficace. Dommage qu'il ne soit pas plus facilement trouvable en magasin.
Excellent ! Petit discret et efficace. Monté sur mon Graxx Origine et testé sur route ou sur chemin rocailleux, j'ai été bluffé, il ne se dérègle pas du tout sous les vibrations. Je le recommande fortement.
Passt perfekt, erhöt meine Sicherheit und ist dabei schön unauffällig
