Meaghan Hackinen Wins 2025 Silk Road Mountain Race with kLite

August 24, 2025 Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. In a field that included the world's fastest ultra racers, Canada's Meg Hackinen placed 10th overall and was the first female finisher in the 2025 Silk Road Mountain Race. The course races through the Himalayan Mountains, climing some 92,000 feet across the 1,214 mile course.

Her specially prepared Salsa Cutthroat included a kLite Micro-D charging kit, a kLite Race / Gravel ULTRA lamp, a kLite lightweight aero bar bridge, a kLite forward facing 22.2 lamp and computer mount, and a kLite inReach Mini / Mini 2 Garmin Mount.

kLite is the pre-eminent global dynamo lighting and charging supplier to ultra racing champions, knowlegable endurance racers, and savvy bikepackers. They'll all tell you one thing: spending wisely means spending once on the best kit available--and in the dynamo lighting and charging space, that means kLite. The "Mad Max" like durability of the kLite system is perfect for ultra racing and makes all other dynamo gear look like it's "commuter grade". 

Meaghan is no newcomer to ultra racing. In addition to being the 2024 Tour Divide Winner in the women's division, she has been a top finisher in the Trans Am Bike Race, the  NorthCape4000, the Transcontinental Race, and Paris-Brest-Paris.
