The Oakley Encoder features a range of high-end technical innovations. This is evident in its meticulously designed lens shape. It offers excellent protection whether you’re road cycling, gravel riding, mountain biking or participating in any other sport. It’s also the fully integrated nose bridge system that makes this model unique. The lens is curved in this area to fit seamlessly and resemble a goggle. The arms attach directly to the lens, creating a sleek look. The lens extends slightly higher to increase protection in bright sunlight and if the wind picks up during your ride.
As for the rest, the materials used are familiar Oakley staples, with O Matter temples, Unobtainium temple tips and nose pads, and a lens that withstands even the heaviest impacts.
One detail worth noting is the specific support on the temples, which prevents the Encoders from slipping if you position them in the openings of your helmet (such as during a climb).
This Prizm Road lens colour is the most versatile and offers contrast to highlight the road’s contours.
