Vuarnet Racing · Model guide
Four performance frames, four different ways to manage light, wind and field of view.
Racing is not one shape repeated. The 02 wraps the face with mineral lenses; the 06 opens the view through an organic shield; the 08 balances coverage with daily wear; the 09 adds wider temples and a more graphic presence. This guide starts with models available now, so the comparison can lead to a real choice.
Size matters, but a performance frame is also defined by curvature, rubber contact points and lens architecture.

VU40117U 96A · 62-17
It keeps the performance curve but adds broad temples and a stronger silhouette. The 62-17 front gives clearly defined coverage.
For larger faces and stronger side presence.
View referenceA blue mirror may catch the eye, but the useful decision starts earlier.
For a continuous shield and maximum peripheral vision, the 06 is the distinctive choice. For two mineral lenses and a more conventional frame, compare 02, 08 and 09.
The 02, 08 and 09 suit larger faces. They distribute volume differently: more curvature on the 02, more balance on the 08 and broader temples on the 09.
Technology varies by model and colour. Options include mineral, polarised and mirrored lenses, plus high-definition organic shields. Always check the exact product page before buying.
