## Unisex Sunglasses S-PHYRE SL RD matte crystal

The Shimano S-PHYRE SL RD is an ultra-light, almost rimless cycling sunglass for performance rides on Swiss roads. Weighing around **23.7 g**, it is extremely light and ideal when you want to save every gram on long climbs or in fast races. The one-piece **RIDESCAPE RD** lens is tuned for **road use** and visibly enhances asphalt textures, making contrasts appear clearer. Thanks to the **ultrasonically welded** lens and nosepad you get a wide, low-distortion field of view that inspires confidence at speed. The **Matte Crystal** frame gives a discreet, clean look that matches modern road bike setups. A secure fit is provided by shortened, conforming temples that combine easily with helmets.

- Super-light design with approx. **23.7 g** total weight for noticeably less strain on the head.
- **RIDESCAPE RD** lens: tuned to the road, ideal in sunny to clear conditions with emphasized asphalt contrast.
- **UV400** protection, **oleophobic** coating and **scratch-resistant** surface (three times more durable than standard coatings).
- Frame made from **Rilsan® G850 Rnew®** bio-based polyamide; grippy TPE temple tips and a **reversible** nosepad for fine adjustment.
- One-piece **Polyamide (PA)** lens: light, impact-resistant and with high optical clarity.
- **Ultrasonically welded** construction reduces distortion and optimizes the aerodynamics of the rimless design.

## Technical Details and Features

The S-PHYRE SL RD relies on a one-piece **PA lens** with a low refractive index and a high Abbe value, which increases image sharpness and minimizes chromatic aberration. The **ultrasonically welded** interface between lens and nosepiece keeps the field of view wide and stable without annoying deformation under vibration. The frame made from **Rilsan® G850 Rnew®** saves weight and reduces the use of fossil resources, while the shortened temples make putting the glasses on and off under a helmet easier. Long-lasting clear vision is ensured by **UV400**, an **oleophobic** layer against water and fingerprints and a **scratch-resistant** coating that the manufacturer states is three times tougher than conventional coatings. Factory-fitted items include a **reversible nosepad**, **grippy TPE temple tips**, a sustainable paper packaging that doubles as a hard case, and an **rPET** microfiber pouch. The **RIDESCAPE** lens technology is scene-specific and improves contrast and detail perception for road use.

## Use Cases and Benefits

This version with **RIDESCAPE RD** shows its strengths on the **road bike** — from fast after-work loops on the Swiss Plateau to long passes in the Alps. In sun and clear skies the emphasized asphalt contrast reduces fatigue, giving you confidence on descents and precision in corners. The **rimless** design provides broad eye protection while remaining unobtrusive and allowing sufficient airflow to the eye area, which is especially comfortable on steep climbs. Thanks to the shortened temples the glasses sit stably under common helmets, and the fit is, according to the manufacturer, also suitable for narrower faces. Riders who frequently encounter changing scenarios generally benefit from the **RIDESCAPE** tuning, which selectively enhances colors and reduces distracting stimuli. Within the S-PHYRE SL family there are other lens tunings for Gravel or Offroad; this version is intentionally focused on **Road**.

Further notes on comfort and care: The **PA lens** is lighter than polycarbonate and therefore feels almost weightless — ideal for long tours and hot days. Thanks to the **oleophobic** layer water and sweat bead off better, and cleaning is particularly gentle with the supplied **rPET** pouch. The **scratch-resistant** treatment increases durability in daily use, for example when stowing in a jersey or bag. As a retailer we supply this variant in **Matte Crystal** with **RIDESCAPE RD** lens including an **XL nosepad**, so you can fine-tune the fit.
