SWISS ENGINEERING.
Swiss engineering is not only about functionality. It’s a promise. Our manufacturing combines digital technology with precise craftsmanship. The screwless click-in technology is patent pending. All our frames are assembled by hand. This is how we ensure highest quality.
MINIMALIST DESIGN.
We design timeless frames that last. With high-quality materials that convince. Our cycling glasses are reduced to the essentials: one front, two temples, four pins. That’s it. With our minimalist design we underline your cyclist’s attitude.
HIGH-FUNCTIONAL.
Individually adjustable for the perfect fit: Due to the flexible material the temples can be easily adapted. In combination with the ultra-light material out of the 3D printer and the ergonomic nose section we guarantee comfortable fit and reliable grip.
LONG-LASTING.
Modular. Reparable. Lasting. Due to the 3D printed high-quality material, our frames are not only flexible but solid and resistant at the same time. And in case something happens to break, components can be easily repaired and replaced.
LOCALLY PRODUCED.
Our frames are completely developed, designed and produced in Switzerland. By conviction. Regional value creation shortens shipping routes, saves resources – and preserves the environment for many rides to come. Because cycling is an attitude.
DEVELOPED WITH CYCLISTS
Made for cyclists. Engineered and designed by cyclists. From the very beginning, we worked closely together with cyclists. Because we know about your experience. And we believe that valuable products are not developed on the screen, but when hitting the road: In the sunshine. In rain. When sweating. On steep climbs. And in fast descents.
«Functionality of high-performance eyewear meets contemporary style. All perfectly combined in a super-light frame, made in Bern. Do I need these glasses? No. But I want them!»
«Beautiful design that doesn't look like common sports glasses. The glasses also look good in everyday life. So for me, they are the perfect companion for long trips by bike.»

MINIMALIST DESIGN.
Reduced to the essentials: one front, two temples, four pins. That’s it. We are not chasing short-lived fashion trends. Are focusing on timeless designs instead. The characteristic 3D printed surface gives the unique matt look. And underlines your cyclist’s attitude.
LONG-LASTING.
High-quality material for long-lasting performance. Our frames are highly break and splinter resistant. And in case something happens to break, the frames can be easily disassembled and spare parts quickly replaced. This is how smart product design works today.
OUR STORY
Do you know the meaning of ILEVE? ILEVE means BICYCLE in an old secret language. The language was spoken in Bern, in a district near the Aare river. For us, ILEVE is not only a tribute to our home town, our heritage. It’s also a homage to cycling, our passion. And even more: It’s a metaphor for the hidden and the unseen. For all the apparently subtle things you don't notice when passing by unaware. It's about views that seem even more breathtaking when your legs are burning. Views that seem even more stunning when you have been carried all the way up to the top by your body – and your mind. It's about looking forward. And it’s about taking a look back. Reflecting for a short moment and perceiving the roads you’ve cycled so far. Appreciating the path you've come along.
It’s about respecting the nature we are cycling in. That’s why we produce locally. Our cycling eyewear is completely developed, designed and produced in Switzerland. Transparent production processes and fair working conditions are the basis of everything we do. We are committed to regional value creation by conviction: Local manufacturing shortens transport routes, saves resources and protects the environment for many rides to come.
