RIO
18 GRAMS #LIGHTAF

The third iconic Aviator frame in ROKA’s ultralight eyewear collection. The RIO follows in the footsteps of the award-winning PHANTOM, inspired by our first pro athlete, Jesse Thomas. The RIO continues the classic aviator heritage while concealing the world’s most advanced performance features and patented design.

‍

The RIO’s Titanium frame and ULTRA lenses weigh in at a stunningly lightweight 18 grams. Patented GEKO™ Pads on the nose and temples provide optimal multi-directional traction and comfort. The result is an incredible “forget you’re wearing them” experience with no-slip retention. Our impact-resistant C3™ nylon lenses deliver outstanding optical clarity and offer anti-scratch, anti-fog, anti-reflectance, oleophobic & hydrophobic coatings.

‍

The RIO delivers unmatched, ultralight performance with zero compromise on style.

TECHNOLOGY

patented fit and
retention system

Inspired by the soft but amazingly sticky feet of the Gecko, our patented GEKO™ fit and retention system features a proprietary elastomer for nose and temple pads that's hydrophilic, chemical resistant, and supports multidirectional traction with comfort.

No matter how sweaty you get, and which way you move, bounce, or shake — these won’t fall off your face.

BETA Ti/
TITANIUM
FRAME

RIO's titanium frame provides an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, strong environmental stress and corrosion resistance, and retains tensile strength at half the weight of traditional alloys.

LIGHT AF

At just 18 grams, the Rio's titanium frames are remarkably lightweight and incredibly durable. We thought we wouldn’t get any lighter than the Phantom, but we made it right under 20 grams.
