Tifosi Optics is getting down to the bare minimum with their latest, and first-ever “rimless cycling shield”.

The Rail is Tifosi’s first rimless cycling sunglass frame.

The Tifosi Rail is a lightweight set of shades that provide wide coverage in a variety of frame colors including: Blackout, Crystal Blue, Midnight Navy, White Black and Matte Black.

While the rimless design may be minimalistic, the features of the frames and lenses are not.

The Rail weighs in a 32 grams, and features a hydrophilic rubber nose that keeps the glasses in place and dampens bouncing. Both the nose and earpieces are adjustable, providing a snug, realizable fit with wide coverage and breathability.

They also come with polycarbonate, scratch-resistance and shatterproof lenses.

Each pair of Rail Interchange models come with three lenses for different lighting scenarios, including Smoke, AC High Contrast in red or yellow, and clear. Tifosi also offers Fototec models that shift from darker to lighter tints in changing conditions.

Unlike other cycling frames that land in the $200 category, the Rail goes for MSRP $80.

Yeah, that’s odd. The claim of ‘first rimless shield’ was directly from Tifosi’s own PR. Perhaps they’re considering a larger ‘shield’ to be different from previous rimless models?
