Tifosi Moab Lite β $79.95
Tifosi has established themselves at a leader in high-performance cycling sunglasses that bring all the tech without the high price tag. The Tifosi Moab Lite sunglasses offer a bold, lightweight half-frame design, crystal-clear optics, and three interchangeable lensesβall for under $80. Inspired by the original Moab we reviewed here, the Moab Lite keeps the pro-level look and fit but trims the weight for all-day comfort and better airflow. Whether youβre climbing switchbacks or cruising weekend group rides, these shades deliver sharp vision, a secure fit, and retro style that stands out in the peloton.
Tifosi sez:Β Β Born from the rugged spirit of the original Moab, the Moab Lite carries forward everything athletes loved β bold shield styling, performance-first design, and a secure, stay-put fit. But now, itβs lighter, faster, and more streamlined than ever.
We took the full-rim frame and trimmed it down to a sleek, lightweight half-rim silhouetteβdelivering a barely-there feel that goes the distance.. Whether youβre grinding up switchbacks or charging toward the finish line, Moab Lite is built to keep upβwith crystal-clear optics and zero distractions.
PEZ sez:Β The new Tifosi Moab Lite is available in seven different colorways. PEZ got the Speed Yellow Frame with 3 interchangeable lenses (Clarion Sunset Pink, AC Red, and Clear).
As is the current EuroPro/shop ride fashion trend, the Moab Lite is an oversized shield style lens (it measures 138 mm wide x 55 mm tall). Essentially, Tifosi took the original Moab, which has full frame, and removed the bottom and side parts of the frame to give it more of a rimless look (Iβll call it a half frame). If full frame sunglasses bother your peripheral vision, the Moab Lite may be the βdriods youβre looking for.
What you get for $79.95: Tifosi Moab Lite sunglasses (in this case with Clarion Sunset Pink lens), AC (all conditions) red lens, clear lens, microfiber cleaning bag (that doubles as a soft case), hardshell case
Fashion aside, the most important thing about the Tifosi Moab Lite is that the lens is optically clear/correct.

If you choose to get one of the Moab Lite interchange models with three different lenses (BTW, one of the reasons Tifosi is the top selling sunglass brand in retail stores nationwide is that all of their models β including those with additional lenses β retails for less than $100), changing the lenses out is relatively easy (the first time doing it can be a little daunting because youβll probably be afraid of breaking the frame β but donβt worry about it, itβs flexible enough).
- To remove a lens:
- Pinch the center of the frame with your thumb and index finger. With your opposite hand pinch the bottom of the lens near the nose piece. Gently pull your hands apart completely separating the lens from the frame.
- To install a new lens:
- Insert both the lens anchors into the corners of the frame.
- Slide the center of the lens up into the center cut in the frame.
- Using your thumb, apply pressure upward to the center of the lens until you feel it click into place in the frame.
Spare lenses stow safely in the hardshell case
Speaking of the cost of the Moab Lite (or any other pair of Tifosi sunglasses), donβt confuse lower price with lower quality. Even though they arenβt worn by any big name pros, Tifosi sunglasses would look the part in the pro peloton and can more than hold their own against bigger (and more expensive) names in the optics market.

Fit-wise, the Moab Lite fit me the same as the Moab (I wouldβve been surprised if it didnβt):
Fit-wise, the Tifosi Moab fit me (average-ish size face) comfortably straight out of the box. Although the ear pieces and nose piece are adjustable, the Moab sat on my face just fine without any adjustment. And because the ear pieces and nose piece use hydrophilic rubber, they do a good job of keeping the Moab in place on my face when riding.

PEZ readers will know Iβm a fan of Tifosi sunglasses. I have other high quality sunglasses from other manufacturers, but more often than not I reach for a pair of Tifosis when I head out for a ride. As Iβve said before: previously said: βIβm a fan of Tifosi sunglasses. If I was Italian instead of Flipino, Iβd be a Tifosi tifosi.β
I admit that Iβm more a fan of frameless/rim-less sunglasses so the new Moab Lite is a welcome addition to my sunglass rotation. Plus I love the rad 80s throwback vibe of the Speed Yellow Frame.
Bring back the 80s!
