I just started using the Tri-Eye View Sport Revo Max and after a few rides, I LOVE them. As the training video suggests, it takes a couple rides to get used to them, but with a slight turn of the head, I can see any easily traffic behind me.
One other initial comment/question: I ride almost daily and spend 30-40% of my time riding on steep hills. My head position is the same on flat and downhill rides, but it is slightly further forward on climbs. I was wondering if Tri-Eye or mountain bike/ road bike climbers have any suggestions? Obviously, going on steep uphill climbs also inhibits the turning of the head in the same way as a flat or downhill ride. It might just be that I need to get used to it or try to keep my head in the same position at all times.
Again, I LOVE the Tri-Eyes and would highly recommend them!
They're great when riding back from work. Normally, it's much darker.
Great. Even after loosing prevoius model I bought another one. I can't feel safe without those whe biking.
The mirror has made a huge difference for me as my regular gravel bike route on Waiheke Island just off the coast of Auckland, NZ, is on a hilly, narrow no-shoulder road for most of it. It’s not highly trafficked but the vehicles tend to go fast and it’s great being able to see what’s coming up behind me. I feel a lot more confident on the ride. Really good product and think it would be great for city commuters.
I think the mirror should be larger. It does not allow me to get an adequate view.
Hi Ross.
You can now purchase a larger mirror at our website.

Delivery by Yodel, here in the UK, was a nightmare as originally they told me that my delivery had been posted through the letterbox located on my front door (that was simply not true because the package was simply too big to fit through my letterbox)! Yodel Customer Services then advised me that my package had been left with a neighbour (also not true)!! In the end, after a lot of hassle and inconvenience, I discovered that the delivery driver had taken a photo showing my package positioned next to my letterbox (as proof of delivery) but then knowing that my package was simply too big to be posted through my letterbox, decided to place my package in what he thought was a secure location without advising me of the location that he had chosen!!! Fortunately, I found the package a couple of days later.
With regards to the clip-on TriEye glasses themselves, it's very early days yet but overall, I believe they will prove to be a good investment as they provide some welcome additional safety by allowing me to observe what is happening behind me on demand. No doubt it will take a little time to perfect the practice.
Unfortunately, being a pensioner, my eyesight is not as good as it was even a few years ago, so I rely on prescription glasses. I didn't want to buy a prescription pair of TriEye glasses as my eyesight changes every couple of years at the moment (confirmed by bi-annual eye tests) so I didn't want to incur the additional extra expense of having to buy replacement TriEye prescription lenses every two years too.
The mirror takes a few attempts to adjust before finding the best position for cycling but once set up correctly the mirror reassuringly stays in place. Personally, I would have welcomed a slightly larger mirror to improve the overall vision behind. In addition, although I found that the TriEye clip-on method does work with my prescription glasses, I would have preferred a stronger retaining mechanism as I found that the TriEye clip-on glasses sometimes move around a little while attached to my prescription glasses. I’m not sure but that might be down to the size and shape of my prescription glasses?
Fortunately, I was also able to take advantage of a recent sales promotion too, so I managed to save a few pounds which included free postage too. My advice to customers interested in buying TriEye glasses or clip-ons would be to wait for any future price reduction offers before buying.
I’ve been riding with a mirror since forever and would not ride without one. But they can be frustrating when they get bumped, trying to get them back to their original set up. Unlike those I’ve used, mounted on a rod attached to my helmet, the TriEye mirror is protected in its own little housing and never gets out of whack. There is an adjustment as the mirror is smaller but as I tell fellow riders, the purpose is to see “car” or “no car” and not to read license plates. These are perfect for that and I just bounty a second pair so as to never be without. Good product!
Good product. Not great, but certainly useful when not using rearview mirrors.
Having used helmet mounted mirrors and tried handle bar mirrors this is the best option. Easy to use, great rear view, no vibrations or fogging. Brought some for my wife to use
I am really enjoying the glasses, and the prescription insert works well. I already have Garmin Varia radar, but this added ability to see what is behind me gives me great comfort. The sunglass tint is a bit darker than I'd like for flat light but still worth it.
View Sport Photochromic Full Spectrum - Cycling Glasses with Mirror
The mirror is to small, can you send me a larger mirror?
Hi Dave,
In addition to the standard mirror on the product you have ordered you can also select/add a bigger mirror at trieye.com
I can see behind me & feeling alittle more confident.👍🏻
The TriEye glasses work great. Switching to the larger mirror, however, is a great improvement, giving you a larger, clearer field of view behind you.
I’ve been using TriEye glasses for almost a year and I’ve been very happy with them. Recently, I decided to replace the mirror with the larger mirror. The expanded view you get with it is fantastic. I highly recommend the upgrade. Also I want to commend the prompt customer service provided by TriEye. Camilla has been extremely responsive and helpful.
I won’t ride without them. Just get a pair. They are well worth it!
My first pair was the photochromic lenses, and they are great but I often ride into the setting sun and it was hard to see. The Revo lenses are perfect because they are darker, plus they look very cool. Plus I got 2 of the larger mirrors for both pair and they are a game changer....better field of vision and much quicker recognition. I do have one suggestion...consider a pair with gradient tint , darker on top and lighter on the lower part of the lens. Would make a little easier to see screens on computer/phone.
Awesome,
took one week to get used to tilt the head and look in the mirror, now its just so easy and normal
A total game changer. I had seen this product advertised but I delayed in getting a pair. When vehicles started sneaking up on me it was time to invest in a pair for my safety. I can now see vehicles in a distance, judge how far they are and adjust my ride accordingly, no more surprises, no more being startled. I am no longer listening for tires as vehicles approach. I see them long before I hear them. Truly a game changer. If you are riding without them I encourage you to get a pair and save yourself a world of hurt.
The full spectrum glasses are fantastic. They are well made and the clarity is great. They are very comfortable and easy to setup. It only took a couple of rides to dial the mirror in. It is amazing how the lens when they change from light to dark are so much brighter than my previous pair of photochromatic lens . Highly recommend these glasses.
I ordered two pair of the polarized glasses, one for myself, the other for my sister. We both think the glasses are very good; my sister, however, requires prescription glasses, (something I'd forgotten during the first order) so I ordered these inserts for her. I've not spoken with her since she ordered the lenses from her optometrist, but as pleased as she was with the sunglasses themselves, I'm sure the inserts will work well for her.
This is my second pair. Lost the first. And the week and a half I was without, I realized what a difference they make!!
So much safer!! Like others, it took 1-2 rides to get dialed in again, but now I hardly move my head, just a little tilt and I can see everything behind me.
Thanks, Tri-Eye!
They make riding my bike so much safer! Thank you
