Tifosi Rail XC Clarion Fototec Sunglasses review – super-lightweight MTB shades with adaptive lens tinting

Tifosi Rail XC Clarion Fototec Sunglasses with Bike Perfect recommends badge.

Tifosi offers a huge range of sunglasses and its Rail XC Clarion Fototec are a slightly smaller version of the original Tifosi Rail Sunglasses that I reviewed and highly rated last year. Despite the ‘XC’ moniker the Rail XC is promoted as suitable for all types of riding and I’ve been extensively testing them on XC, Gravel and Road rides throughout the summer. 

I’ve been using Tifosi’s adaptive Clarion Fototec Lens that starts very lightly tinted and darkens in sunlight to a smoked tint. With the summer weather becoming more and more unpredictable an adaptive lens could be just the ticket when it comes to selecting the best mountain bike sunglasses.
