Types of Sports

Road Cycling and Mountain Biking

Mountain Biking: ROUBAIX is the ideal choice for mountain biking, catering to cyclists of all levels, from beginners to experts.

Starting with a slightly transparent color, it ensures clear visibility even in minimal light.

Skiing and Cross-Country Skiing: ROUBAIX can serve as an ideal alternative to ski goggles. Its lightweight and secure fit guarantee excellent protection from wind. The grippy rubber sections significantly enhance stability on the face, even under strong vibrations.

Regardless of the sport, ROUBAIX represents the pinnacle of photochromic lens technology, combining functionality with the aesthetic appeal typical of mirrored lenses.

Optical clip Technology

The mirrored photochromic lens of the new ROUBAIX eyeglasses for cycling, running, trekking, and all outdoor activities is ideal for athletes who require corrective lenses. The holder for prescription lenses is made of TR90 (the same material as the frame), specifically designed to accommodate corrective lenses for optimal vision during sporting activities.

The supported correction intervals for prescription lenses include a maximum sphere of +/- 8.00 and a cylinder (astigmatism) of +/- 2.00. The clip is large enough to accommodate progressive and bifocal lenses.

Clip Dimensions for Lenses:

• Lens Height: 40mm
• Lens Length: 45mm
• Lens Base: 6

To obtain customized prescription lenses, it is advisable to consult your trusted optician directly. The approximate cost of single vision lenses can vary between €50 and €80, depending on additional treatments chosen, such as anti-fog and anti-reflection. For bifocal and progressive lenses, the cost can range between €220 and €300, depending on selected treatments.

Technical Characteristics and Materials

The new DCHROM® photochromic lenses initiate a reversible chemical reaction when exposed to UV radiation or sunlight, causing them to darken. Once the light exposure ends, the lenses gradually return to their initial transparency. Made from high-quality polycarbonate, these lenses offer two important technical advantages: they significantly reduce weight compared to conventional materials and ensure safety in the event of an impact, as they do not generate fragments that could damage the eyes. These high-tech filters also protect against UV rays, ensuring both safety and comfort.

The new DCHROM® lenses represent an evolution in photochromic lens technology. They transition from slightly veiled purplish-red colors to reach category 3 with a red sheen during maximum performance. In addition to their remarkable speed of light-to-dark transition, they provide a notable sense of comfort for your eyes, even on days with intense sunlight and during prolonged use.

The ultra-light frame is made of TR90, a unique blend of carbon fiber and nylon. Despite its size, the total weight of the ROUBAIX cycling and running glasses is only 30 grams. These glasses are specifically designed for athletes who seek products made from high-quality materials that offer maximum protection and safety. The frame is flexible and adapts to the shape of the head, ensuring optimal comfort without being too tight while maintaining maximum safety.

All rubber parts, including the nose pads, are made of soft, hypoallergenic megol material with grip technology, ensuring maximum stability and preventing any potential movement of the glasses on the nose due to vibrations or head movements.

ROUBAIX is essential for those seeking photochromic eyewear for cycling, running, or hiking, featuring ultra-light mirrored lenses. They are ideal for athletes engaged in road cycling, mountain biking, running, trail running, or hiking in the mountains.

This material makes the ROUBAIX eyeglasses with DCHROM® mirrored photochromic lenses 20% lighter than conventional materials, offering greater resistance to accidental impacts and stress, and increasing their durability over time.
