In terms of value, it’s hard to beat Tifosi sunglasses for mountain biking. With quality optics and construction, plus thoughtful touches like plant-based frame materials on certain models, Tifosi has the eyewear to get you stoked.
Tifosi offers performance styles like the new Stash and three versions of the Rail, and buyers can choose either a single photochromatic lens or a set of three interchangeable lenses for the same price. Even lifestyle sunglasses like the Sanctum and Smirk feature lenses that protect from UVA, UVB, and impact, plus they’re available in fun styles and colors.
Several frames can be ordered with prescription lenses and most are customizable down to the lens color and arms. Here are a few pairs of Tifosi sunglasses we’ll definitely be wearing this summer!
Tifosi Sledge Lite
$79.95
The large, rounded Tifosi Sledge Lite lenses provide some of the widest coverage area offered by the brand and they’re also vented to prevent fogging. The semi-rimless design makes changing out lenses easy for varying light conditions.
The bonus clear lens might honestly see the most use if you find yourself in dappled shade or even wet conditions. Another low-light tinted lens is included for riding in dense forest, or you can opt for the Fototec (Photochromatic) lens for one lens that does it all.
The Sledge Lite sunglasses are designed to fit size medium to XL faces.

Tifosi Rail XC
$79.95
The Tifosi Rail line of sunglasses are oversized, rimless, and lightweight (only 31g for the Rail XC shown here). The aerodynamic and streamlined design make these glasses ideal for a variety of sports beyond mountain biking like running or gravel and road cycling.
The Tifosi Rail XC sunglasses are designed to fit small- to medium-size faces with a shorter lens than the original Rail sunglasses. Still, the Rail XCs offer wide coverage and UVA and UVB protection. The Fototec lens (pictured above) automatically adjusts to varying light conditions, or you can go with the interchangeable version for the same price and get three separate lenses included.

Tifosi Stash
$79.95
The Tifosi Stash is one of the brand’s newest styles and the strong, sharp angles have very modern and edgy Cybertruck vibes. On the tech side, the “Fototec” lens works in sun or shade so you can focus on the trail, whether you’re out in the open or deep in the forest.
While the Stash sunglasses are designed to fit medium to large faces, the lens is more narrow compared to some other Tifosi shield-style glasses, so smaller faces won’t get swallowed up by a giant windshield. Plus, there’s an adjustable nose piece for a custom fit.
And unlike a Cyberturck, these are actually affordable!

Tifosi Sanctum
$34.95
After wearing shield-like lenses like the Rail or Sledge on your rides, you might miss that kind of coverage in your everyday sunglasses. Thankfully, Tifosi recently introduced the Sanctum. These sunglasses have a large single lens and instead of an aerodynamic, racy frame, the Sanctum is bold, sporty, and definitely makes a statement both on and off the bike.
The Tifosi Sanctum sunglasses feature a Thrive Frame, made from plant-based material and available in multiple fun colors. These lifestyle sunglasses look great plus the lenses are shatterproof and block UVA and UVB. Designed to fit medium to large faces.

Tifosi Selca
$34.95 – $59.95
Finally, sporty aviators! Channel your inner Maverick on the bike and pedal as fast as that F-15 on the runway. Whether you choose to wear these Tifosi Selca sunglasses riding or not, just remember that when you feel good, you ride good.
The Selca sunglasses pair an aviator shape with matte frames made from plant-based materials for a casual look that works on the bike or off it. Choose from multiple lens and frame color combinations that all offer excellent eye protection and durability.

Tifosi Smirk
$29.95 – $54.95
As far as pure style goes, the Tifosi Smirk is one of our top choices. Starting at less than $30 (more for polarized styles), why not get multiple pairs so you don’t have to choose between the neutral frame options and the fun sparkly ones like the Aqua Shimmer shown here. Even better, you can completely customize the frames, arms, and pick from 8 different lens options (for an additional cost).
Designed for an active lifestyle, the Smirk features nose pads that get grippier as you sweat, an anti-bounce design, and a hinge that promises not to pull your hair. Fits a wide range of personalities, and of course, face sizes, from small to large.
