The single-piece lens is **ultrasonically welded** to the nosepiece, providing a wide, distortion-free field of view — ideal when reaction time and situational awareness matter. Shortened, form-fitting temples make it easier to put on and take off under a helmet and ensure a secure fit even on rough terrain. This variant comes in the frame color **Green Sapphire** and with the **RIDESCAPE GR** lens, which is specifically tuned for gravel conditions. Shimano states the weight of the S‑PHYRE SL at around 23.7 g, making it one of the lightest cycling sunglasses in its class. - Single-piece lens with **ultrasonically welded** construction for clear, wide vision without distortion. - **RIDESCAPE GR** lens with approx. **VLT 22%** to enhance contrast on gravel, natural tracks and asphalt. - Super-light construction (approx. **23.7 g**) for minimal fatigue on long rides. - Shortened, form-fitting temples for secure fit and effortless wear under a **cycling helmet**. - **Reversible nose pad** for individual adjustment to different nose shapes. - Frame made from bio-based **Rilsan Clear G850 Rnew** and double-injected, non-toxic **TPE** temple tips. - **UV400**, **scratch-resistant** multi-layer coating and **oleophobic**/hydrophobic properties according to Shimano lens technology. - Subtle **ventilation opening** at the top edge of the lens to reduce fogging in changing conditions. ## Technical Details and Features The rimless concept of the S‑PHYRE SL minimizes air turbulence and supports clean aerodynamics, while the **ultrasonically welded** connection between lens and nosepiece increases the field of view and reduces optical distractions. The **RIDESCAPE GR** lens was tuned for gravel use: it emphasizes subtle transitions between gravel, dirt and asphalt, which provides added confidence on fast descents or in light-changing sections. With a visible light transmission of around **22% (Cat. 2)** it covers typical Swiss gravel weather from bright to slightly overcast without unnecessarily tiring the eyes. The lens is based on a lightweight **Polyamide (PA)** substrate, which Shimano uses for its high clarity and durability; it also features **UV400**, **scratch-resistant** and **oleophobic**/hydrophobic coatings for consistently clear vision. The frame is made from bio-based **Rilsan Clear G850 Rnew**, the temples end in grippy **TPE**, and the **reversible nose pad** makes fine-tuning the fit easier. ## Use Cases and Benefits With the **RIDESCAPE GR** lens the S‑PHYRE SL shows its strengths exactly where Swiss gravel routes vary: from Jura gravel to forest tracks and paved connecting sections. The contrast enhancement helps detect edges, potholes or loose stones earlier and to execute line changes cleanly. Thanks to the **super-light** construction and shortened temples, the glasses remain comfortable and non-slip under the helmet on long brevets or quick after-work rides. The subtle **ventilation opening** supports clear vision during temperature changes, for example after climbs or in damp conditions. Those who prefer a more compact, unisex fit — including **reversible** nose pads for fine adjustment — will find a versatile option for Gravel, Allroad and Road here. ## Fit and Comfort The S‑PHYRE SL was designed to sit naturally even on **narrower face shapes** without creating pressure points. The **form-fitting**, shortened temples are compatible with a wide range of modern cycling helmets and make quick removal easier in everyday use. The **reversible nose pad** offers two contact surfaces of different thicknesses, allowing you to fine-tune the glasses to your facial geometry. Together with the lightweight **PA** lens and the grippy **TPE** ends this delivers a stable wearing feel that does not slip even on rough gravel sections. The combination of rimless optics and a wide field of view lets obstacles appear earlier, making line selection more intuitive. ## Materials and Technology Shimano uses **Rilsan Clear G850 Rnew**, a bio-based polyamide, in the S‑PHYRE SL to reduce the use of fossil raw materials — without compromising stiffness and durability. The **Polyamide** lens of the RIDESCAPE series scores with a low refractive index and a high Abbe value, which benefits **optical clarity** and color purity. **UV400** fully protects the eyes from UVA/UVB, while **scratch-resistant** and **oleophobic**/hydrophobic coatings repel water, dirt and fingerprints. For gravel use the **GR** tint with approx. **22% VLT** is tuned to emphasize surface structures and make transitions more visible. This combination of technologies makes the S‑PHYRE SL a lightweight, robust and everyday-ready **sunglasses** for cycling in Switzerland. ## Variants - 4550170757465: in stock --- Source: https://kilometro.ch/en/products/glasses-109/unisex-sunglasses-s-phyre-sl-gr-green-sapphire-326
