The sports glasses Sziols X-Kross is suitable for various sports and weather conditions thanks to the different interchangeable lenses. The right lens is simply inserted into the frame, which is available in many colours, depending on your needs and requirements. There are lenses for runners, winter and water sports enthusiasts - and of course bikers.
Specially developed for cyclists, the lens offers good wind protection even at high speeds and remains largely fog-free throughout its service life thanks to the ventilation openings on the outer edge.
The photochromatic lenses for cyclists are a new addition to the range. The slightly mirrored, self-tinting lenses react to UV light and automatically adapt to the visibility conditions. Depending on the intensity of the UV radiation, the complete darkening process takes between 22 and 27 seconds, according to the manufacturer. It should take around twice as long for the lens to be completely brightened again.
Interesting for those with defective vision: Sziols offers a carrier clip for optical lenses, which is inserted into the X-Kross frame from the outside behind the front lens and leaves enough distance to the eyelashes and space for air circulation. Corrections of up to +/- 15 Dpt (19° tilt) are possible.
Prices and availability
The photochromatic bike discs are available now and cost 149 euros. All other bike discs are available for 49 euros each. The frames cost between 110 and 139 euros, depending on the design.
At events such as the BIKE Festival in Willingen, customers at the Sziols stand will receive the cheapest lens for free when they buy an X-Kross frame with three interchangeable lenses! The glasses can also be borrowed for a few hours for testing against a deposit.
