Lightshifter Sunglasses

The latest addition to Bollé’s performance collection and the choice of the renowned French cycling team, AG2R LA MONDIALE, LIGHTSHIFTER is characterized by a modern and sharp semi-rimless design, directly inspired by its big sister SHIFTER, launched last year. This model features stylish laser details on the lens, offering a premium and assertive look and meets all the needs of the performance cyclist.

LIGHTSHIFTER is available with a Phantom lens, which is Bollé’s most innovative lens technology to date. The Phantom lens is a combination of 3 advanced technologies that revolutionize sunglass optics. They’re made with NXT material for enhanced definition, a molecular photochromic filter that adapts to all light conditions as well as a high-contrast filter that improves color and depth perception. The frame’s conception proves to have also been designed for action and performance. It combines all the elements cyclist need for performance; extreme lightness, comfort, venting system to ensure no fogging and perfect stability thanks to the Thermogrip hydrophilic rubber placed on the temple tips and adjustable nose piece. The Phantom lens is available in prescription; the customized prescription lens is inserted directly into the shield and offers the same technologies and performance as the sunglass lens.

A new take on an original style from the 1980s has been updated for today’s customers. Our new CHRONOSHIELD is available with Bollé’s latest lens Technology, Phantom, which adapts to light while offering the sharpest vision at all times thanks to the NXT® lens material and a high contrast filter, enhancing details and boosting color. An excellent option for spring skiing, mountain biking, runners, and more.

Trackdown MIPS Helmet

A completely new mountain bike helmet from Bolle with a unique set of features. The Trackdown MIPS includes a 360-degree retention system for stability and full adjustability. Avid progressive EPS is built in to offer superior ventilation channels for progressive shock absorption. A Sunglass garage holds your sunglasses firmly in place, and a three-position visor allows space for goggles. The Trackdown MIPS also offers year-round options with an innovative Winter Kit that contains vent caps and winter lining.

  • MSRP: $180
  • Sunglasses Garage – Helmet has a specific compartment designed to hold a pair of sunglasses
  • AViD Progressive EPS MIPS – Creating helmets that perform in all types of impacts requires getting the details exactly right. Using high-density EPS ensures high energy impacts are effectively absorbed. Low-density EPS, however, provides superior performance in less severe impacts. Bollé helmets with the AViD liner technology use a combination of different EPS densities and/or optimization of the ventilation channels to virtually decrease the density in the top area. The result is a lighter, more ventilated helmet with progressive shock absorption that will absorb a wider range of impacts.
  • Adjustable Visor – With three positions, the adjustable visor adapts all ride conditions, and means your goggles can sit on your forehead.
  • MIPS – MIPS adds more protection against rotational motion. MIPS is a revolutionary technology that lets the helmet slide relative to the head, adding more protection against rotational motion to the brain caused by angled impacts.
