If you’ve ever wished your cycling gear could do more without piling on extra gadgets, the new BleeqUp Ranger AI Cycling Glasses might just be your new best friend on the road. Debuting at MWC 2025, these sleek, lightweight glasses combine an action camera, open-ear headphones, and a walkie-talkie—all while protecting your eyes. And before you ask, yes, they’re prescription-compatible.
The Basics: More Than Just Shades
First things first—these are, at their core, solid cycling glasses. They’ve got a UV400-rated wraparound lens to block out harsh sunlight, an anti-fog design so you’re not constantly wiping them down mid-ride, and an adjustable nose pad to keep them comfy.
They’re also made from TR90, a tough yet lightweight material that keeps the whole package under 50 grams. Add in an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance, and you’ve got a pair of shades that can handle the elements.
And if you need prescription lenses, BleeqUp has you covered. You can pop in clip-on inserts or swap out the outer lenses themselves—no need to compromise on vision just to get all the tech perks.
Capture Every Ride (Without Doing a Thing)
The real magic happens once you start pedaling. Unlike most “smart” glasses that barely let you record a few minutes of video, the Ranger glasses are built for the long haul. They can record an hour of full HD (1080p) video straight from the glasses, and if that’s not enough, an optional helmet-mounted battery pack extends that by another four hours. The battery pack even has a built-in taillight to keep you visible in low-light conditions.
But what about the hours of footage? That’s where AI comes in. Instead of sifting through every second of your ride, the Ranger automatically highlights the best moments—stunning views, sharp turns, and even those close calls—right in the BleeqUp app. It also overlays details like your route and ride time, so it’s as easy as tapping a button when you’re ready to post.
The built-in cycling-specialized electronic image stabilization (EIS) ensures that what you see in the video is exactly how you experienced it—no more jittery, helmet-mounted footage.
Stay Connected, Stay Safe
The BleeqUp Ranger isn’t just about capturing the moment—it’s also about staying connected. Open-ear headphones built into the frame let you listen to music, take calls, or even chat with your cycling crew using the built-in walkie-talkie function. No more yelling over the wind or stopping to pull out your phone.
The dual-speaker setup includes two dynamic drivers and two MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System) drivers, designed to keep the audio clear while cutting down on wind noise. Whether you’re blasting your ride playlist or taking an urgent call, you’ll actually hear what’s going on. And because they don’t block your ears, you can stay aware of traffic and other sounds around you.
Controlling everything is refreshingly simple. You’ve got options: voice commands, a Bluetooth remote that mounts on your handlebars, or touch controls on the glasses themselves. And if you’re lost? Ask the built-in navigation (powered by Google Maps in the U.S.), and it’ll get you back on track—no need to fumble with your phone.
No Screens, No Distractions
If you’re worried about these glasses turning into another screen that pulls you out of the moment, don’t be. The Ranger doesn’t have a distracting display flashing notifications in your face. Instead, it quietly records, communicates, and enhances your ride without demanding your attention. It’s all about capturing the experience—not interrupting it.
