With Alkator and Kentro, Adidas is bringing more clarity to the trail
Whether you're riding a mountain bike, a gravel bike, or out for a run, sports eyewear should not only protect against the sun but also enhance contrast and provide clear vision even in the face of sweat, rain, or dirt. This is exactly where adidas Sport Eyewear comes in with its new Alkator and Kentro models.
At the heart of both pairs of glasses is the new Powervizn Lens System. The lenses combine a contrast-enhancing base tint with a tailored mirror coating. This is designed to make contours more clearly visible, reduce glare, and improve depth perception. Water-, sweat-, and dirt-repellent coatings are also intended to ensure consistently clear vision.
Alkator for Mountain Biking and Gravel Riding
The Alkator is designed primarily for mountain bikers and gravel riders. Its wide shield lens offers a large field of view and is intended to provide better visibility on fast descents and technically demanding trails. Adjustable nose pads, rubberized temple tips, and non-slip contact points ensure a secure fit.
The frame is made of lightweight and durable TR90 material. Ventilation openings are designed to improve air circulation and reduce lens fogging. In addition, the glasses can be fitted with a clip-in for prescription lenses.
Depending on the activity, various lens options are available. A purple contrast base is designed for trails and pavement in bright light. A brown tint is designed to enhance colors and contrasts on various surfaces. For mountain biking, trail running, and hiking in changing light conditions, adidas also offers an amber-colored option that is designed to make sand, rocks, and roots stand out more clearly.
Kentro for fast workouts
The Kentro is primarily aimed at runners and cyclists who frequently ride on asphalt. The full-frame construction combines a wide field of view with a lightweight design. Adjustable nose pads and rubberized temple tips are designed to ensure a secure fit even during intense workouts. According to the manufacturer, ventilation openings on the upper frame and temples reduce fogging of the lenses.
The Kentro also features the Powervizn Lens System. Depending on the model, the lenses are optimized for different surfaces and lighting conditions. Options include a neutral smoke tint for asphalt, snow, and water, as well as a pink contrast base for unpaved trails and snow-covered surfaces. A brown version is designed to provide vivid colors and high contrast on various surfaces.
The Alkator and Kentro are each available in six versions. The recommended retail price is 155 euros.
