Oakley EVZero Prizm Review: MTB Ride Test in Barcelona

We had the pleasure of working with Oakley to organize a special press day presenting the new EVZero Prizm sunglasses.

The goal was simple: create a real MTB riding experience in Barcelona where sports journalists could test this innovative model in the terrain it was designed for.

A Real MTB Test Ride in Barcelona

We designed a unique ride in the trails of Parc de Collserola, the natural playground surrounding Barcelona.

This environment offered the perfect conditions to test:

• Changing light inside forests
• Technical terrain
• Fast and flowy sections

A real-life scenario for MTB riders.

Prizm Technology: Enhanced Contrast on the Trail

The key innovation of the EVZero Prizm lies in its ability to significantly improve:

• Contrast
• Visibility
• Terrain perception

Originally developed for snow environments, where light conditions change drastically, the Prizm technology has proven to be highly effective across multiple sports.

Prizm Trail: Designed for Mountain Biking

The Prizm Trail lens is specifically tuned for MTB riding.

It enhances:

• Browns and greens
• Terrain textures
• Surface details

This makes it easier to:

• Read the trail
• Anticipate obstacles
• Ride safely in variable light conditions

Especially inside forests or during early morning and late afternoon rides, visibility is noticeably improved.

Ultra-Light Design: Performance You Don’t Feel

One of the biggest achievements of the EVZero model is its weight.

At only 24 grams, these sunglasses offer:

• Maximum comfort
• Minimal distraction
• A barely-there feeling

The frameless design simplifies the structure:
👉 A single lens connected to two arms

The result is pure performance and simplicity.

Maximum Protection and Field of Vision

The large lens provides excellent protection against:

• Mud
• Dust
• External elements

At the same time, it offers a wide and unobstructed field of vision.

When riding, you barely notice you’re wearing them — no frame distractions, just clear vision.

A Day with Journalists and the Oakley Team

The event brought together:

• 15 sports journalists
• The Oakley team
• A professional photographer

Everyone enjoyed a fantastic ride through Collserola, testing the glasses in real MTB conditions while sharing a great day on the bike.

A Great Collaboration

We would like to thank all participants and the entire Oakley team for making this event both professional and fun.

It was a pleasure to collaborate on this unique experience.
