Astral Sphere combines cutting-edge technology, refined design, and optimal comfort to meet the expectations of the most demanding athletes. Some cyclists from the World Tour Bahrain Victorious team are already using this model in the first races of the season.

Sport performance and possible optical correction

The Astral Sphere stands out with its spherical lens design, an alternative to the cylindrical configuration of its predecessor.
Thanks to its larger lens surface, the mask offers improved peripheral vision, reduces glare (by eliminating flat spots where light could reflect), and, by increasing the volume between the face and the lenses, enhances ventilation and reduces fogging. Furthermore, vision is optically more precise, with distortion being almost non-existent.

The new model is also compatible with ImpactX® photochromic lenses, unbreakable lenses made exclusively for Rudy Project, offering exceptional adaptation to varying light conditions, optimal visual clarity, and total UV protection.
Additionally, it is available with Polar 3FX Multilaser lenses, specially designed for activities where reducing glare and enhancing color contrast are essential.

Moreover, Astral Sphere can be equipped with a Rudy Project optical insert, which allows athletes to integrate visual correction into their sports glasses.

Durable and high-performance materials

The Astral Sphere frame is made from Rilsan Clear®, a bioplastic derived from castor oil. This responsibly produced, BPA-free material combines lightness, chemical resistance, and flexibility.

Comfort and versatility: glasses for long wear

Designed for long wear, Astral Sphere glasses offer high comfort and an excellent fit. The lightweight structure, ergonomic nose bridge, and adjustable temples allow them to adapt to different face shapes, ensuring security and comfort even during intense sports activities.

Two lens types, four different filters, and six color options available

Here are the different versions available:

1. Black Matte with ImpactX 2 Black lenses – Elegant and timeless, this model captivates with its matte black frame and discreet design. The lens transitions from a nearly transparent base to a dark tint that blocks up to 91% of light, offering optimal protection, ideal for road and open spaces.

2. Black Fade Crystal Blue Gloss with Polar 3FX Multilaser Blue lenses – A bold and modern alliance, combining a refined gradient frame with vibrant lenses. The HDR filter enhances contrast and details, ensuring clear vision and vibrant colors, whether in the city, mountains, or on the road. Its hydrophobic treatment repels water and oils, while the finish minimizes reflections from shiny surfaces.

3. Black Fade Crystal Blue Gloss with ImpactX 2 Laser Black lenses – Elegant and sophisticated, this model combines a subtly colored frame with the high-performance lenses of the Black Matte.

4. Frozen Pantanal Matte with ImpactX 2 Laser Black lenses – Inspired by nature, this deep green frame evokes a robust and refined style. The unbreakable lenses, emblematic of Rudy Project, guarantee exceptional resistance and optical clarity.

5. White Gloss with ImpactX 2 Laser Purple lenses – Bright and refined, this model combines a sleek aesthetic with high-level performance. Its photochromic lens transitions from an initial 48% filtration to 92%, optimizing contrast for perfect adaptation to light variations, especially outdoors.

6. Crystal Blue Avio-Sky Fade Gloss with ImpactX 2 Laser Purple lenses – Featuring the same lenses as the previous model, it stands out with its elegant blue gradient, adding a touch of sophistication.

7. Frozen Cherry Matte with ImpactX 2 Red lenses – Dynamic and bold, this model does not go unnoticed. Its lens, whose filter varies from 16% to 84%, further accentuates contrast thanks to its specific tint, ensuring better perception of details and an advantage in terms of safety and performance in natural environments.
