As cycling continues to flourish in 2025, the Taipei International Cycle Show successfully exhibited professional cycling eyewear and other newly developed functional photochromic frame and lens technologies, showcasing an unprecedented innovation.
This year's trends focus not only on functionality but also emphasize design aesthetics and technological integration, providing cycling enthusiasts with a comprehensive visual experience.
Rise of Eco-Friendly Materials
With increasing environmental awareness, eyewear frames made from bio-based materials and recycled plastics have become the new market favorites. These materials are not only environmentally friendly and lightweight but also offer excellent durability. Leading brands such as Oakley and Smith have launched 100% biodegradable series using plant-based polymers and recycled ocean plastics, providing ideal choices for cyclists pursuing sustainable fashion.
Our highly acclaimed "Fishing Net Glasses" received exceptional praise this time, as they efficiently utilize recycled resources while reducing environmental impact.
Marine regenerated nylon, a plastic made from recycled fishing nets collected from the world's oceans, transforms damaged nets that might otherwise become part of Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP). The recycling process involves collecting discarded fishing nets, washing them, sorting them by color, shredding them into thin layers, and then melting and processing them into new materials.
Photochromic Lens Technology Breakthrough
Photochromic technology achieved a major breakthrough in 2025. The new generation of cycling glasses features ultra-fast reactive photochromic lenses that can complete color transitions within 0.5 seconds, adapting to various lighting conditions from bright sunlight to tunnel shadows. Multi-zone photochromic technology further allows different parts of the lens to have independent color-changing abilities, with the upper portion potentially darker to block sunlight while the lower portion remains lighter for clear road visibility.
High-performance sports eyewear specifically designed for cycling enthusiasts, featuring advanced aerodynamic design and premium lens technology that provides clear vision while effectively protecting against UV rays and wind-blown debris. Available in multiple frame and lens options to suit various riding environments and personal preferences.
Minimalist Design Trend
In terms of design, 2025 trends lean toward minimalism. Frameless or semi-rimless designs are prevalent, offering a wider field of vision and a lighter wearing experience. Neutral tones such as matte black, graphite gray, and olive green have become mainstream, while subtle metallic details and understated brand logos are not uncommon, exhibiting a sense of understated luxury.
Future Outlook
Looking ahead, cycling glasses in 2025 are no longer just protective equipment, but essential accessories that combine functionality, fashion, and technology, providing every cycling enthusiast with an unprecedented visual experience and style expression. Whether you're a professional cyclist or a casual rider, these innovations will fundamentally transform your riding experience.
