Technical specifications

Data sources: official Global Vision Eyewear sheet for the Full Throttle model, from which the three available lenses (clear, smoke, yellow), ANSI Z87.1-2010 compliance for industrial use, shatterproof polycarbonate lenses, UV400 filter, and anti-scratch treatment are derived. Splash Design supplier price list for article 751.0004.101, EAN 7872174821018, and list price €27.95. ⚠️ On this sheet, the two sources disagree on the frame. Global Vision publishes the Full Throttle with only a black frame; the price list photograph, however, shows a frame with a bronze reflection, while the official manufacturer's photograph (the second in the gallery) shows the black frame. The color indicated in the title refers to the lens, not the frame. If you need confirmation on the exact frame color, write to us, and we will verify it on the item before shipping. Global Vision does not publish the weight or dimensions of the frame.

Who it's perfect for

The smoke version of the Full Throttle is the eyewear to pocket before a sunny day: sunny state roads, weekend outings, urban commutes at noon, when the problem is not seeing more but seeing without being dazzled. The one-piece lens covers the visual arc well and reduces air entry at the sides, while rubber nose pads and temple tips keep it stable under a jet or demi-jet helmet. It is suitable for adult motorcyclists looking for lightweight, non-bulky eyewear that still complies with the ANSI Z87.1-2010 standard. For evening or night riding, a clear lens should be chosen instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

What light conditions should the smoke lens be used in?
The smoke lens is a dark lens designed for full sun and daytime use only: it reduces glare on bright asphalt, against the light, and reflections. As the light fades, it reduces visibility too much, so a clear lens, not this one, is needed for evening and night.

What is the difference between Full Throttle and Full Throttle PL A/F?
They are two distinct items in the Global Vision catalog. The Full Throttle on this page is the basic model, without foam padding and without anti-fog treatment. The Full Throttle PL A/F is the version that adds those features: those looking for foam or anti-fog should look for that specific product code.

Are the lenses really shatterproof?
They are made of polycarbonate, the material chosen for safety glasses because it deforms on impact instead of shattering into fragments. The manufacturer describes it as shatterproof and declares the Full Throttle compliant with the ANSI Z87.1-2010 standard, which sets resistance requirements for industrial protective eyewear.

Do they stay put on the highway?
The one-piece lens design hugs the face, and the rubber parts on the nose pads and temple tips increase grip. In practice, the glasses tend to stay in place even at highway speeds, provided the temples are well tucked under the side padding of the helmet.

What tints are available for the Full Throttle?
In the manufacturer's catalog, the Full Throttle is offered in three tints: clear, smoke, and yellow. At Moon Bike, the smoke lens version, which is this one, and the yellow lens version are available as separate listings, each with its own article code and EAN.
