Wide Shield Coverage in a Lighter Half-Frame Design.
The Tifosi Moab Lite keeps the broad coverage of the original Moab but removes the lower section of the frame to reduce weight and open up your field of view.
At approximately 27g, it is 4g lighter than the standard Moab. Fully adjustable hydrophilic nose and ear pieces provide a secure fit, while vented polycarbonate lenses help manage airflow during cycling, running and other active use.
Choose the Right Lens
- Satin Vapor: Silver Mirror, AC Red and Clear interchangeable lenses for bright, overcast and low-light conditions
- Glacier Blue: Clarion Blue, AC Red and Clear interchangeable lenses, with a water and sweat-repellent Clarion coating on the bright-light lens
- Matte White: Light Night Fototec for low-light and changing conditions
- Matte Bronze: Clarion Red Fototec with a light-responsive mirrored finish
- Sahara: Clarion Gold Fototec with a warm mirrored finish
- Satin Clear: Clarion Pink Fototec with a distinctive mirrored finish
Interchangeable sets suit riders who prefer to choose a dedicated lens before leaving. Fototec is more convenient when UV exposure is likely to change during the ride.
Fototec performance varies with temperature and UV intensity. The lens may not darken fully behind a vehicle windscreen because the glass blocks much of the UV light needed to activate it.
Lighter Half-Frame Construction
Removing the lower frame reduces weight and leaves your downward view unobstructed when checking a bike computer or looking further along the trail.
The Grilamid TR-90 upper frame supports the large shield lens while keeping the glasses less enclosed than a full-frame model. The broad lens still provides useful coverage from sunlight, wind, insects and light trail debris.
Adjustable, Secure Fit
The nosepiece and earpieces can be adjusted to suit different face shapes, helmet positions and wearing preferences. Hydrophilic rubber increases grip as you perspire, helping the glasses stay stable during rough descents and harder efforts.
The Medium–Large fit suits many adult faces. Try them with your helmet where possible to ensure the earpieces sit comfortably beneath its retention system.

Our Thoughts
The Moab Lite is the version we would choose when low weight and an open field of view matter more than having a full frame around the lens. It still provides plenty of coverage but feels less enclosed and makes it easier to glance down at a bike computer.
Choose an interchangeable set if you want a specific lens for each condition. Fototec makes more sense for routes that regularly move between exposed roads, shaded trails and changing weather.
