Assos Zegho G2 Interceptor Black Sunglasses

From Assos:

At a mere 27.5 grams, G2 is the evolution of cycling’s most advanced eyewear. A joint engineering effort with Carl Zeiss Vision Sunlens, Zegho reshapes the way we see on the bike.

Description:

The original Zegho set the foundation for enhancing the visual experience for cyclists—best-in-class lenses with proprietary tunnelView (TV) technology, adaptive composite frames, and precision manufacturing. G2 goes further, featuring a refined shape, new lens tints, and built-in RX solutions, all while delivering the signature visual clarity and comfort that defined the original.

The new G2 V-TORIC lens wears a lower-profile shape than the first gen, while still retaining the signature rimless platform that provides crystal-clear vision and a superlight feel. We worked closely with Zeiss on two new lens models, ensuring versatility in all light conditions. Interceptor Black is our go-to for bright light, while the Dragonfly Copper is better suited to varying and low-light conditions. Combine either with the included Crystal (clear) second lens, and you’re covered for every environment.

The lens locks to the temples with our new triggerClick interface, an intuitive push-to-change mechanism that makes swapping lenses, quick and safe, without putting strain on either component. We dialed in our clickFace elastomer on the temples and fully adjustable nosepiece, giving you a near custom fit, regardless of your head shape. And for those who require corrective lenses, the G2 includes a prescription insert that seamlessly integrates with the eyewear.

Zegho is the combined effort of nine European specialty eyewear makers, each providing a specifically designed component. Every pair is handmade in Italy, requiring 22 manufacturing steps and the physical involvement of 37 people.

Technology:

triggerClick: With the G2’s intuitive push-to-change system, swapping the lens is quick, safe, and puts no strain on the lens. Simply push a button on the inside of the temple to release the lens, and click in the replacement.

G2 Lens: The G2 Carl Zeiss V-TORIC lens wears a lighter, more aggressive low-profile shape than the original, while still retaining the signature rimless platform that provides unobstructed vision and a superlight feel.

Interceptor Black: A grey tint with our proprietary Tunnel View (TV) technology, ideal for bright light conditions. Light Transmission: 15.7%. Light Conditions: Bright Light. Contrast: Increased.

Crystal: A clear lens optimal for low-light conditions and night riding. Included as a second lens with every Zegho G2. Light Transmission: 90%. Light Conditions: Low Light. Contrast: Neutral.

tunnelView: By keeping the lower third of the lens clear, we ensure your world never goes dark when entering tunnels or shadowed environments. Incorporated into Interceptor Black lens only.

RX Insert: For those who require corrective lenses, a lightweight RX insert is included with every Zegho G2, seamlessly integrating with the lens by locking into the top of the nosepiece for a balanced, comfortable fit.

Ri-Pel: All the Carl Zeiss V-TORIC lenses are equipped with Ri-Pel back and front, a high-level hydrophobic and oleophobic treatment that guarantees high performance in all weather conditions.

TR-90 Temples: The new TR-90 temples feature a wide contact interface where they meet the lens, adding durability to the connection point. The step-down zeroPressure shape mirrors the curvature of your head, and they’re finished with textured, supple clickFace inserts for a light and secure grip.

Nosepiece: The fully adjustable nosepiece is constructed with our grippy clickFace elastomer, which conforms to your nose to provide a custom, secure fit. The composite top section anchors the RX Insert and stabilizes the lens.

100% UV Protection: Zeiss sun lenses work to protect your eyes and maintain healthy vision by absorbing harmful UV-A and UV-B radiation.
