SunGod is a British performance eyewear brand founded in 2013, best known for fully customisable, athlete-grade sunglasses, goggles, and prescription lenses built around its proprietary
8KO® nylon lens technology — a transparent polyamide that's lighter, more shatterproof, and optically clearer than the polycarbonate used by most of the industry (with an Abbe value of 45, up to 70% clearer).
Backed by a Lifetime Guarantee, the brand has grown from challenger upstart to the official eyewear partner of teams including INEOS Grenadiers and the McLaren F1 Team, with a roster of elite athletes spanning cycling, running, skiing, and motorsport. As a certified B Corp, 1% For The Planet member, and carbon-neutral business, SunGod pairs uncompromising optical performance with a credible sustainability stance — a combination distilled in its "See Better" mission, which applies as much to how the company operates as to what you see through the lenses.
Here at 700 we focus on the key products for Cycling and a little cross-over for multisport athletes, that deliver performance and style to keep your eyes protected, vision focused and look on point.
SunGod's latest lineup sharpens its Pace Series around four core silhouettes — Vulcans, Velans 2, FORTY2s and a new Vulcan Vent — all built on the brand's proprietary 8KO® nylon lens technology and backed by the SunGod Lifetime Guarantee.
Vulcans remain the flagship cycling shield: massive coverage, a face-shaping curved profile, interchangeable nose pads for personalised fit and airflow, and Grip-Lock hydrophilic rubber that holds firm under sweat. The Vulcans FF (Full Frame) is the heavier-duty take on the same silhouette, with a fully enclosed frame that suits Gravel as well as road riders who want extra crash and debris protection without sacrificing the Vulcans' wide field of view. The FF is convertible to Half Frame, out of the box too.
Vulcan Vent - new for 2026, sits alongside as the most aeration-focused option in the Vulcans family, designed for high-intensity efforts and hot conditions where airflow across the back of the lens is critical to keep vision fog-free.
Velans 2 is the headline refresh for 2026 — a redesigned silhouette with a more flexible arm profile, an updated half-frame construction, and integrated lens vents engineered into the lens profile itself for continuous airflow and zero-fog performance. It's the do-everything cycling and road-running lens for riders who want Vulcans-level optics in a lighter, more open silhouette.
FORTY2s is the run-specific addition, named for the marathon distance and engineered for runners from 5K to ultra. The fit prioritises zero-bounce stability, built-in airflow, and a lighter, less aggressive frame profile than the dedicated cycling models — designed to disappear over long distances.
Across the range, frames are constructed from recycled plastics and every lens delivers 100% UV protection, triple-layer scratch resistance, and hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings. The signature 8KO® Nylon lenses offer a Abbe value of 45 — up to 70% clearer than industry-standard polycarbonate, while being lighter and more shatterproof.
