Fox is one of the few brands that can actually outfit you from your helmet to your shoes, and everything in between. The brands apparel and accessory lineup is about as complete as it gets, and includes everything from socks and gloves to padded bib liners and knee pads. If youre a fan of Fox, you can wear almost 100% Fox products when you ride. Coming in Spring 2027, Fox will complete its product range with the addition of Vue Performance Eyewear.Just before Sea Otter a few weeks ago, I spent a day riding with Fox in the latest Flexair apparel and accessories. At the same time, they gave us a very early sneak peek and sample of the new Vue Performance Eyewear. It seems that Fox is leveraging its experience with Moto and MTB goggles, as well as its affiliation with Giro which is also owned by the parent company Revelyst to hit the ground running (rolling) with its upcoming mountain bike specific shades.Foxs Vue eyewear will complete the brands range of apparel and accessories. (photo/Fox)Fox Vue Performance EyewearFox isnt sharing all of the details on the Vue eyewear lineup just yet, but theres quite a bit that they were willing to talk about well ahead of the official launch next spring. In fact, I already have a pair that I wore during the Fox event and have been riding in on and off ever since. At the event, I saw two models: the half-frame Vue Pro that Ive been testing, and another full-ish framed model.The Vue Pro that I have has a half-frame design with frame across the top of the lens and by the nose piece only. It has lowered arms to reduce the potential for conflict with extended coverage half-shell helmets. The arms measure 135mm long from the hinge and feature Soft Grip rubber tips. The nose piece comes with two thicknesses of easily interchangeable Soft Grip rubber nose pads to optimize the fit on your nose bridge.The cylindrical lens is 3D-shaped around the nose, has vents in the upper corners, and Vivid lens technology. (photo/Jeremy Benson)The large coverage lens measures 145mm wide x 60mm tall (including the upper frame) and is generally cylindrical with a fairly pronounced, but unspecified base curvature. The lens also has subtle 3D-shaping around the nose piece, which Fox says has a slight benefit of helping to deflect wind to the side, rather than channeling it towards the eyes. The lenses also have small vents cut in the upper corners for ventilation.The Vue Pro came with a Vivid Rose lens installed, which is intended for use in low and mixed lighting conditions. It was a perfect fit for the mostly shady forested riding we were doing in Santa Cruz. It features Vivid lens technology, which is contrast enhancement tech borrowed from Giro and used in the brands ski and bike goggles. The Vue Pro also comes with a spare clear lens, and lens swaps are relatively easy.The Vue Pro in the zippered hard case along with the spare clear lens, extra nose piece, and cleaning bag. (photo/Jeremy Benson)At the event, most people were riding in the same Rose or clear lens, but one of the Fox employees was riding with a photochromic lens, so that obviously seems like it will be an option. I assume they will have a range of frame colors and lenses to choose from with varying base tints, VLTs, and reflective coatings.My test pair came in a zippered hard case with a slot for the spare lens, the extra nose piece, and a microfiber cleaning/storage bag. Everything looks perfectly dialed and production-ready, including the cardboard packaging.While the majority of the folks at the Fox event were wearing the same Vue Pro glasses, there was one other pair that was a little different. These glasses had an almost full-frame design. They looked very similar to the Vue Pro, but the nose piece was attached to a lower frame that extended across the bottom of the lens.The Vivid Rose lens was stellar in the mixed lighting conditions while riding in Santa Cruz. (photo/Fox)First ImpressionsSo far, Ive been pleasantly surprised by the performance of the Fox Vue Pro. They fit me well and have remained impressively stable and secure on my face while riding. They provide plenty of coverage and have been shielding my eyes from the wind as well as any other glasses in my extensive collection.I was already a fan of the Vivid lenses in Giros Dropline goggles, and that continues with the Vivid Rose lens in the Vue Pro. They probably wont be my go-to for the sunniest days, but they are excellent in the shade, low light, and mixed lighting conditions. They give everything a warm, rosy hue and perform well when going between light and shadow, as I often do while mountain biking.At a measured weight of 33 grams, they arent the lightest glasses around, but they dont feel heavy on my face and havent budged while riding. Ill be the first to recognize that the rose lens puts off some shooting range vibes, but I think they look pretty good.The Fox Vue Performance Eyewear will be available in Spring 2027.
