Shimano introduces the newly redesigned second-generation S-PHYRE and AEROLITE eyewear models. Featuring RIDESCAPE lens technology that emphasizes colors and highlights surfaces across different types of terrain, the S-PHYRE and AEROLITE are purpose-built to enhance your riding experience. At the premium end, the new S-PHYRE features an all-new magnetic lens system for quick and easy lens changes, while the AEROLITE brings exceptional visual performance, RX-CLIP compatibility, and modern style at a modest price for the everyday rider.

RIDESCAPE Lens Technology

SHIMANO’s proprietary RIDESCAPE lens technology offers six lens options that are tuned for different riding conditions and terrain types. From extremely sunny days on the road to riding through mixed shadows on a forest trail, or chasing the dimming light of an evening gravel ride, RIDESCAPE transmits the right amount of light to boost visibility. Details that would normally be washed out, dull, or flat become more clearly defined, vibrant, and vivid.

RIDESCAPE RS - Bright Vision: Extra sunny-tuned lenses minimize light transmittance to shield your eyes from extreme sunshine and blinding road glare. This reduces eye strain and makes a derences in the ground's texture easier to see.

RIDESCAPE HC - Daylight Vision: Daylight-tuned lenses filter out harsh asphalt glare to boost contrast and sharpen surface details. Richer colors and higher resolution give you a clearer view of the world for more confident and comfortable daily riding.

RIDESCAPE RD - Road Vision: All-around road-tuned lenses enhance certain colors and suppress others to boost asphalt contrast and visibility. This reduces eye strain and makes it easier to spot and react to hazards like potholes and rocks from afar.

RIDESCAPE GR - Gravel Vision: Gravel-tuned lenses boost the contrast of a wide range of surfaces to highlight subtle transitions between gravel,dirt,and asphalt.

RIDESCAPE OR - Trail Vision: O-road-tuned lenses reduce glare from sunleaks when riding in and out of the shade and sharpen visual awareness so you can react more quickly to various trail surfaces (rocks,soil,sand)and common obstacles (roots, stumps, gaps).

RIDESCAPE CL - Dark Vision: Cloudy-tuned lenses boost light transmittance for better visual performance in dark,cloudy,and wet riding situations. Anti-reflection coating reduces oncoming headlight glare.

S-PHYRE Eyewear

Second-generation S-PHYRE eyewear features a straight upper rim with aerodynamic and foldable temples wholly integrated with the rim and lens. The radiused temples have a non-slip pattern for a secure fit and enduring comfort. The new magnetic lens system makes changing between and wiping clean Shimano RIDESCAPE lenses faster and easier than ever. Available in a range of colors and lens options, the S-PHYRE is ready to hit the road, trail, or gravel in style.

AEROLITE Eyewear

Worn by top contenders at World Cup cyclocross races this season, the new AEROLITE glasses live at the crossroads of function and fashion. They feature Shimano’s premium RIDESCAPE HC lens that boosts contrast and sharpens surface details. The half-rim frame design delivers protection without obstructing the field of view and offers a stylish new look even the pros appreciate.

Additionally, the AEROLITE frame was codeveloped with RX- CLIP, making it easy to add a prescription lens to the frame. The RX-CLIP attaches quickly and securely over the adjustable nose piece for a clear view of the road ahead.
