The POC Elicit Toric cycling glasses are engineered for performance cyclists who prioritize weight reduction and an expansive field of vision. Featuring a frameless design, these glasses minimize bulk while providing maximum coverage, ensuring that your view remains unobstructed during high-speed rides. The category 2 lens is specifically calibrated to offer balanced light transmission, making it a versatile choice for changing weather conditions and varying light levels on both roads and trails.
Advantages
The primary benefit of the POC Elicit Toric glasses lies in their exceptional lightweight construction, which reduces pressure on the face and enhances comfort during extended training sessions or races. The toric lens shape provides superior optical clarity and peripheral vision, allowing riders to react quickly to obstacles. Furthermore, the frameless architecture not only contributes to the low weight but also facilitates easy lens changes and improved airflow to prevent fogging, ensuring consistent performance in diverse environments.
Suitable for
- Road cycling in variable light conditions
- Gravel riding and trail cycling
- Long-distance endurance rides
- Competitive racing where weight and aerodynamics are critical
When it may not be suitable
These glasses may not be the ideal choice for extremely bright, high-glare environments, such as riding at high altitudes or in direct, intense sunlight, where a category 3 or polarized lens would be more appropriate. Additionally, users who prefer a traditional full-frame aesthetic for added impact protection may find the minimalist frameless design less suitable for their specific needs.

How to use
To use the POC Elicit Toric glasses, place the temples over your ears and ensure the nose piece rests securely on the bridge of your nose. The frameless design allows for a flexible fit that conforms to various face shapes. If you need to clean the lens, use a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild lens cleaning solution to avoid scratching the surface. Store the glasses in a protective case when not in use to maintain the integrity of the lens coating.
What to consider before purchase
- Check if the category 2 light transmission level matches your typical riding environment
- Ensure the frame dimensions are compatible with your helmet retention system
- Verify that the lens tint is suitable for your specific visual preferences
Usage recommendations
For optimal longevity, avoid placing the glasses lens-down on abrasive surfaces and rinse the lens with fresh water after rides in dusty or salty conditions to remove debris.
