Adaptive vision
Clear at dawn. Dark at noon.
The photochromic lens reads UV and shifts with it. It deepens under open sun and clears the moment you reach shade or the light drops. Start before sunrise, finish after dark, without a second pair.
All-day comfort
Sunrise to sunset, one pair.
Light on the face for long sessions outdoors. The wrap sits close and cuts wind, so your eyes stay settled from the first kilometer to the last.

Questions, answered
How fast does the lens adapt?+
Seconds. It darkens in direct sun and clears again in shade or low light, on its own.
Does it work behind a car windshield?+
Photochromic lenses react to UV, and a windshield blocks most of it, so the lens stays mostly clear behind glass. It's built for training outdoors, not for the drive there.
Can I use it in low light?+
Yes. In its clear state it works as windproof eyewear for dawn, dusk, or riding under tree cover.
Why do the lenses say SCVCN?+
SCVCN is the optics maker AXION partners with for the lens and frame, the same components ridden by cyclists worldwide. We tune the fit, coatings and colourways for the hybrid athlete and back every pair with our insured-replacement guarantee. We'd rather show you the real maker than hide it.
Athlete reviews
The lens is great for riding in shady places, as it doesn't get in the way when it gets dark, provides good protection from sunlight, and fits the face very well. I think the lens should be a bit larger for my face, but that's quite a personal preference for each individual. I will buy other models again.
Very good glasses that fit well on the face
They are perfect, lightweight, resistant, and the vision is very good. I used them for 10km running and they don't bother me, they don't fog up. The shipping was very fast to the Canary Islands; they were at home in 2 weeks. The price is ridiculous. I thought they would be a toy, but no, they are ideal. I recommend them 100%.
