Full coverage, secure fit and a choice of interchangeable or light-responsive Fototec lenses.

The Tifosi Moab combines broad eye protection with a lightweight, stable fit for road, gravel and mountain biking. Its full-frame design provides useful coverage from wind, dust and trail debris without feeling excessively heavy.

Choose from three-lens interchangeable models or Fototec versions that automatically adjust their tint as the light changes. Check the selected frame and lens option carefully, as the included lens package differs between variants.

Choose the Right Lens Option

The interchangeable models include three lenses for different riding conditions. A darker Smoke or Clarion mirrored lens handles brighter rides, AC Red improves contrast in overcast or changeable conditions and Clear provides eye protection in low light.

Fototec models use a single photochromic lens that lightens and darkens as conditions change. These are useful for rides that move between open sunlight, cloud and shaded sections without requiring you to stop and change lenses.

Fototec lenses take a short time to adjust and their performance can be affected by temperature and UV exposure. If you regularly ride in one consistent light condition, an interchangeable model may still give you the more suitable dedicated tint.

Available Frame and Lens Options

• Blackout frame: Smoke, AC Red and Clear interchangeable lenses
• Plum Passion frame: Clarion Deep Purple, AC Red and Clear interchangeable lenses
• Sahara frame: Clarion Gold, AC Red and Clear interchangeable lenses
• Matte White frame: Clarion Blue, AC Red and Clear interchangeable lenses
• Satin Vapor frame: Clarion Red Fototec lens
• Matte Gunmetal frame: Light Night Fototec lens
• Mist frame: Clarion Blue Fototec lens

Lightweight and Secure

The Grilamid TR-90 frame weighs approximately 31g, helping the glasses remain comfortable during longer rides. Hydrophilic rubber on the adjustable nosepiece and earpieces increases its grip as it becomes wet, helping the glasses stay stable when you are working hard.

The nosepiece and earpieces can be adjusted to suit your face and helmet combination. The Moab has a medium-to-large fit, so riders with particularly narrow faces may prefer to try them on before buying.

Coverage and Airflow

The full-frame, 5-base design sits close to the face and provides useful protection from wind, dust, insects and trail debris. Vents in the lenses encourage airflow to help reduce fogging, although no sports glasses will remain completely fog-free in every combination of temperature, humidity and riding speed.

The lenses are made from shatter-resistant polycarbonate and provide UVA and UVB protection. Clarion lenses also use a water and sweat-repellent coating that helps keep the lens surface clearer in damp conditions.

Who Are These Glasses For?

The Moab suits riders wanting plenty of eye coverage without moving to a heavy or bulky pair of glasses. The secure fit works well for road cycling, gravel riding and mountain biking, while the different lens packages let you choose between dedicated tints or one lens that adapts to changing light.

Choose an interchangeable model if you prefer selecting a specific lens before each ride. Choose Fototec if you regularly move between sun, cloud and shade and would rather not carry spare lenses.

Our Thoughts

The first decision is not the frame colour but the lens system. The three-lens models give you a dedicated option for bright, overcast and low-light conditions. Fototec is more convenient for long rides where the light keeps changing, particularly on gravel routes and forest trails.

The adjustable contact points are also useful when matching the glasses with a helmet. Check that the earpieces do not press against the helmet’s retention system and that the upper frame does not block your view when riding in a lower position.

The Moab is a medium-to-large fit with plenty of coverage. That will suit many riders, but anyone with a narrow face should check the fit before buying rather than relying on the adjustable nosepiece alone.
