Shimano is introducing three new lightweight eyewear models featuring Ridescape lens technology
Shimano is expanding its line of performance eyewear with three new and updated models designed for a wide range of riders and riding conditions. Thanks to Ridescape lens technology, which enhances colors and better highlights surfaces depending on the terrain, the new Technium, Technium L, and Twinspark models are designed for all-day comfort and stylish design.
Ridescape lens technology
Shimano’s proprietary Ridescape lens technology includes six lens options tailored to different riding conditions and terrain types. Whether in bright sunlight on the road, in changing light on forest trails, or in fading evening light on a gravel tour: Ridescape lets through just the right amount of light to improve visibility. Details that would otherwise appear pale or flat appear clearer, more contrasted, and more vivid.
Technium Glasses
The new Technium features a lightweight, protective full-frame design and offers high comfort for long days on the road, trail, and everything in between. Ventilation integrated into the top and bottom of the lens reduces fogging and ensures clear vision even when the weather changes.
A reversible nose pad allows for a custom fit. The curved, soft temple tips harmonize better with modern bike helmets and keep the glasses securely in place even on rough terrain.
The Technium is available with three different Ridescape lenses: RD for the road, OR for mountain biking, and GR for gravel. Each model also comes with an interchangeable clear spare lens for low-light riding.
The frame is made of Arkema Rilsan® clear G850 Rnew® with 45 percent bio-based materials, which reduces CO₂ emissions during manufacturing.
- Colors: Matte Black, Matte White, Teal, Matte Grey
- Frame material: Arkema Rilsan clear G850 Rnew, 45 percent bio-based
- Weight: 27.4 g
- Lenses: Ridescape RD, OR, and GR
- Replacement lens: Clear
- Price: CHF 120.–
Technium L Goggles
The Technium L is the even lighter version and features a feather-light half-frame design. Weighing just 26 grams, it combines low weight with a large, one-piece lens for optimal protection and high comfort—ideal for long road rides, extended mountain bike adventures, or all-day gravel tours.
Like the full-frame model, the Technium L is available with the Ridescape options RD, OR, or GR, as well as with a replaceable clear lens. Additionally, there is a photochromic gray lens.
This lens automatically adjusts its light transmission to UV radiation: In dark environments, it is nearly clear; in bright light, it darkens.
Regardless of the lens chosen, the Technium L offers the same benefits as its sister model: an adjustable, reversible nose piece, non-slip temple tips, anti-fog ventilation, UV-400 protection, scratch resistance, and water-repellent properties. Here, too, bio-based materials from Arkema Rilsan® clear G850 Rnew® are used, along with Shimano’s new lightweight BPA-free polyamide lens for improved clarity.
- Colors: Matte Black, Matte White, Bronze Gold
- Frame material: Arkema Rilsan clear G850 Rnew, 45 percent bio-based
- Weight: 26 g

Twinspark glasses
The Twinspark is designed for riders looking for versatile glasses with an attractive price-performance ratio. Their lightweight half-frame design is paired with a daylight-optimized Ridescape HC lens. This reduces harsh reflections on asphalt and better highlights surface details, providing greater safety.
The single-piece Ridescape HC lens offers reliable protection, richer colors, and higher resolution for a clearer view of the road. Like the Technium and Technium L, the Twinspark is scratch-resistant, water-repellent, and equipped with Shimano’s new lightweight BPA-free polyamide lens.
- Colors: Black, White, Smoky Navy
- Weight: 25.3 g
- Lenses: RIDESCAPE HC
- Price: CHF 70.–
