Lightweight Everyday Sunglasses with a Secure, Comfortable Fit.
The Tifosi Swank combines casual styling with the lightweight materials and secure fit normally found in sports eyewear. At just 23g, these sunglasses are comfortable enough for everyday wear while still working well for cycling, walking, running and other outdoor activities.
The durable Grilamid TR-90 frame, shatter-resistant polycarbonate lenses and hydrophilic rubber nose pads make the Swank a practical choice for riders who want one pair of sunglasses for both time on the bike and everyday use.
Choose the Right Lens
- Smoke with Bright Blue Mirror: A neutral Smoke base tint with a blue mirrored finish for bright conditions
- Smoke with Yellow Mirror: A neutral Smoke base tint with a yellow mirrored finish
- Brown: Adds contrast and makes changes in terrain easier to see
- Smoke: Reduces brightness while maintaining a neutral view of colours
- Polarised Smoke with Sky Blue Mirror: Helps reduce reflected glare from roads, water and other bright surfaces
Polarised lenses can make some bike computers and phone screens harder to read from certain angles.
Lightweight Grilamid TR-90 Frame
The Grilamid TR-90 frame is lightweight, flexible and durable. It weighs just 23g, helping the Swank remain comfortable during longer rides and extended everyday wear.
An integrated hinge contributes to the Swank’s clean shape and provides a close, comfortable fit without adding unnecessary bulk.
Secure Fit When You Get Warm
Hydrophilic rubber nose pads become grippier as they get wet, helping the sunglasses remain secure when you perspire.
Tifosi Glide technology allows the arms to slide on comfortably while providing a stable, low-bounce fit during cycling, running and other active use.
Polycarbonate Lens Protection
The polycarbonate lenses are shatter-resistant, scratch-resistant and optically recentered to provide clear vision with reduced distortion.
The lenses also provide protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Lens tint and light transmission vary between the available options, so choose a lens that suits the conditions in which you normally ride or wear your sunglasses.

Who Is the Tifosi Swank For?
The Swank suits riders who want sunglasses that look casual enough for everyday use but remain secure and comfortable on the bike. They work particularly well for commuting, recreational cycling, walking, running, driving and general outdoor use.
The small-to-large fit covers a broad range of face sizes, although riders wanting a larger frame and more lens coverage may prefer the Swank XL.
Our Thoughts
The Swank is a good option if you do not want the full wraparound appearance of traditional cycling glasses. They look at home away from the bike, but the light frame, grippy nose pads and stable fit still make them practical for riding.
At 23g, they are easy to forget you are wearing. We would choose the lens carefully. Smoke lenses suit bright everyday conditions, Brown adds a little more contrast and the polarised option helps reduce reflected glare from roads, water and other bright surfaces.
