Technical Details and Features

RIDESCAPE technology is scene-specifically tuned to bring out contrasts on asphalt and reduce disruptive reflections; in the BR version, this is achieved with exceptional efficiency at just 13% light transmission. Strategically placed ventilation slots minimise fogging, while a hydrophobic coating causes water and sweat to bead off; an additional anti-scratch treatment protects the surface during everyday use. The full frame with single-piece lens expands your field of view and noticeably shields your eyes from wind, dust and trail debris, building confidence at higher speeds. A personalised fit is ensured by grippy temple tips and a reversible nose pad that adapts to different nose profiles; the shorter temples also work well with modern helmets. Thanks to the lens swap system, a PC Clear replacement lens is included in the box, and the reference weight of the RIDESCAPE variant is approximately 26 g depending on the version. The included rPET pouch protects the glasses while also reducing your CO₂ footprint.

Use Cases and Benefits

The Technium BR really comes into its own wherever bright sunlight and road glare make visibility challenging – from fast road bike laps and commutes to marathon-distance stages. The clear, high-contrast image helps you spot road cracks, potholes and subtle surface texture differences early, improving both safety and line choice. In diffuse light or at dusk, you can switch to the included clear lens to extend your riding time throughout the day. The wide field of view and sturdy full-frame construction inspire confidence at speed, in wind and crosswinds, while the anti-fog performance keeps your vision stable in changeable conditions. Combined with UV400 protection, your eyes stay relaxed – ideal for longer days in the saddle across Switzerland.

Sustainability and What's in the Box

Shimano uses Rilsan Clear G850 Rnew with a bio-based content of 45% across the Technium platform, reducing the need for fossil resources during manufacturing. Shimano also uses rPET for the soft pouch, promoting material circularity and further lowering environmental impact. Included in the box are the glasses with RIDESCAPE BR lens, a PC Clear replacement lens and the rPET protective pouch – handy for transport and care on the go. This choice of materials combines lightness, flexibility and durability with a conscious reduction in CO₂ footprint, without compromising performance on the bike. The result is a well-thought-out combination of optical precision, fit and responsible product design.
