Shimano has reduced the weight of its Twinspark and Technium sunglasses, adding a photochromic lens option to the latter.\u00a0<\/p>

Besides each shedding a couple of grams, their new frame material is more environmentally friendly, according to the brand.\u00a0<\/p>

The all-new Technium L and updated Technium cost $100 \/ \u20ac99.95, while the entry-level Twinspark glasses are priced at $65 \/ \u20ac54.95.\u00a0<\/p>

The Shimano Techniums are full-frame cycling sunglasses<\/a> intended for \u201call-day comfort on the road, trail and everything in between\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>

Fog vents in the top and bottom of the lens are designed to stop them from steaming up.\u00a0<\/p>

You can reverse the nose pad to better suit the shape of your snout.\u00a0<\/p>

The Technium is available with a choice of three Ridescape lenses: RD for road riding, OR for mountain biking and GR for gravel cycling.<\/p>

Shimano says Ridescape lenses enhance the detail of your riding environment in different light conditions. The GR and OR lenses, for example, are claimed to help you differentiate between trail surfaces and spot obstacles quicker.\u00a0<\/p>
