Overview
Is the Tifosi Rail XC Fototec Built for XC Riders?
The Tifosi Rail XC brings the Rail's proven cycling platform to a smaller lens profile and a lighter overall build, delivering the coverage and security of the Rail family in a more compact frame for riders who prefer a reduced footprint. Fototec photochromic lens technology transitions automatically between tint states as UV intensity shifts, keeping your vision optimized from shaded trail climbs through open sun exposure without stopping to swap lenses mid-ride. Grilamid TR-90 construction maintains the lightweight feel through sustained efforts and varied terrain.
Available in Clarion Blue Fototec for bright-condition acuity and Clarion Red Fototec for contrast enhancement on variable terrain, both options deliver high-definition optics in the trimmed-down Rail XC platform. Hydrophilic rubber nose and temple pads lock the frame against your face as perspiration increases, and the co-injected rubber temple tips hold the glasses steady under helmet straps without slipping. For cyclists who want the Rail's performance DNA in a smaller, photochromic-equipped build, the Rail XC delivers.
