Cycling glasses for mountain bikes and racing bikes with progressive lenses

Cycling glasses for mountain bikes and racing bikes with progressive lenses are designed for athletes who require progressive corrective lenses to pursue their favorite two-wheel discipline.

Cyclists, whether they are mountain bikers or road cyclists, often need to use progressive lenses for both their visual needs on the trail and for reading instruments such as GPS devices, Garmins, and smartphones. However, they frequently find it challenging to choose the ideal glasses that meet all their needs for practicing cycling with complete freedom, safety, and clarity of vision.

The progressive lens is a special type of lens that guarantees a clear and dynamic view at all distances—near and far—through a single pair of cycling glasses.

Also known as multifocal lenses, progressive lenses consist of three areas of vision, with no visible dividing lines, ensuring excellent aesthetics and maximum comfort:

  • Near Vision: The lower portion of the lens provides a clear view for reading or close-up tasks.
  • Intermediate Vision: The central portion of the lens is designed for optimal clarity at medium distances.
  • Distance Vision: The upper portion of the lens allows for a clear view of distant objects.

With just one pair of progressive cycling glasses, you can correct myopia, hyperopia, and/or astigmatism. Presbyopia, or difficulty seeing at close range, can also be addressed with the same pair of glasses.

Why Choose Cycling Glasses for Mountain Bikes and Racing Bikes with Progressive Lenses

For those who practice road cycling, mountain biking, gravel riding, cycle touring, and cyclocross, there are various solutions for correcting different visual defects. However, compromises have often been made in the past because the clip system did not have sufficient dimensions to accommodate progressive lenses. This often led to the use of single-vision or bifocal lenses (when space allowed) for myopia correction, which limited comfort when reading instruments. Alternatively, some opted for direct-vision prescriptions in frames that are often not very technical for mountain biking or hiking, resulting in an unappealing aesthetic.

DEMON has developed multiple solutions for men and women through the largest clips on the market (base 6) for mounting progressive lenses. The technical aspect of progressive cycling glasses is essential to guarantee perfect visibility on the path or road and maximum protection from air, cold, dust, and all the dangers faced on mountain and racing bikes. Furthermore, the glasses are designed for comfortable prolonged use and effectively resist fogging.

However, the aesthetic aspect is just as important as the technical features of the glasses and lenses. DEMON is constantly researching and developing new designs that are both visually striking and functional.

Instrument Reading

Often, cyclists who use progressive lenses in their everyday lives have had to settle for glasses with single-vision or bifocal lenses, or for non-technical frames to accommodate progressive lenses.

However, with single-vision lenses, it becomes impossible to read instruments, leading to the need to forgo certain technologies and conveniences. With the advent of cutting-edge instrumentation, reading screens has become essential for keeping all parameters—such as wattage and route maps—under control.

Choosing cycling glasses with progressive lenses for your discipline not only ensures perfect visibility of your instruments but also allows you to concentrate solely on your performance.

Direct Prescription Based on Frame with Progressive Lenses

Another method of fitting cycling glasses with progressive lenses is through direct prescription to the frame. The advantages of this type of prescription are similar to those of the optical frames that athletes use every day, but with the added benefits of technical glasses designed for mountain bikes and racing bikes, such as:

  • Lightness
  • Impact resistance
  • Enhanced protection from air
  • Lateral light protection

It will therefore be possible to choose the type of lens you prefer based on your needs: photochromic, mirrored, and polarized are just a few of the options available for your cycling glasses with progressive lenses.

The specialized VISTA SPORT model is equipped with lens holders to accommodate prescription lenses, ranging from highly curved lenses (base 8) to base 6 lenses. This feature helps to reduce potential visual distortions, especially in cases of particularly high prescriptions.

The frame is ultra-lightweight and resistant to extreme temperatures and impacts, ensuring it maintains its shape without deformation. Constructed from TR90 (a blend of nylon and carbon fiber), these glasses are highly elastic and ultra-light.
