Interbike: SPY Omen MX goggles, Quanta and Screw sunglasses
SPY Optic was on hand at the Interbike Preview show with some of their latest and greatest eyewear offerings.
SPY – Omen MX goggles
For the full-face helmet wearing enduro rider, SPY has their Omen MX goggles that have some unique features. The Omen MX features outriggers that help it fit better on the helmet and is a good crossover choice for mountain biking. The outriggers help keep the strap away from the goggle so it won’t get stuck in the helmet, thus providing a better fit and more comfort by relieving the pressure from the strap. The Omen MX also features what SPY calls “Happy Lens” technology. What is happy lens technology, we asked? SPY employees responded by saying that it is a, “proprietary color and contrast enhancing lens that also lets in the sun’s good rays that uplift your mood and help keep you alert and focused. It still blocks all the harmful UV rays.”
The Omen MX has an MSRP of $79.95-94.95 and comes in 12 different styles including a Justin Barcia edition and a Jeremy McGrath edition.
In this video from SPY, there is a short explanation of how the Happy Lens technology works.

SPY – Quanta sunglasses
For the non full-face helmet wearer, SPY has a couple of other options from its Performance line of sunglasses. The Quanta is a less tech looking shade that is something that you can wear off the bike as well as on.
The Quanta features:
- Scoop technology – draws air into the frame and helps keep the lens fog free
- Victory lens with scratch free coating, hydrophobic coating and oilophobic coating to keep water and oil off
- Hytrel rubber temple tips and nose piece help keep the frame secure
- 100% UV protection
- interchangeable lens
- most Rx compatible model that SPY makes
- MSRP: $99.95-169.95

If you want something a bit “racier” looking, SPY has 3 different models in their Screw line. Shown in the photo below is the Screw (top, in white), the Screw Over (middle, in yellow) and the Screw Under (bottom, in green).
The Screw ($139.95-179.95) is the base model and is a “performance oriented and fog free” and features interchangeable lenses.
