Override is Rudy Project's new MTB goggle, engineered from the ground up to work as a system with the Terraform and Terraform Pro helmets — not an add-on, but a component of a wider ecosystem. Since 1985, the Italian brand has built its credibility on a single premise: performance gear designed for athletes, not for display cases. With the Rudy Project Override MTB goggle, that commitment finds its clearest expression yet in the world of enduro.
A goggle designed for the Terraform ecosystem
Helmet-goggle integration as a design principle
Override does not work in isolation. Its front profile was developed in direct response to the geometry of the Terraform and Terraform Pro helmets, creating a functional continuum between head protection and face protection. It is precisely this system-first logic that sets Override apart from conventional MTB goggles: the design starts from the whole, not from the product in isolation.
For riders pushing hard in enduro or extreme e-MTB, the consequences of a poorly fitted goggle are real — exposed gaps, instability on technical descents, compromised airflow. Override addresses these terrain realities at the design stage, before they become problems on the trail.
Dual frame architecture: modularity at its core
A fully disassemblable system
The central technical proposition of this Rudy Project MTB goggle is its dual frame construction. The lower section houses the face-contact padding — moisture management, extended comfort — while the upper section integrates the elastic strap and the lens. The entire assembly disassembles fully, simplifying maintenance, enabling component replacement and opening the door to modular customisation across seasons.
The Quick-Change System uses four buttons for fast lens swapping, even in demanding outdoor conditions. Cylindrical lenses in base 5.2 are available in mirror or clear versions — eight colour combinations in total. The goggle is also compatible with Rudy Project RX inserts, a dedicated solution for riders who require optical correction without compromising performance.
This modular approach is consistent with Rudy Project's broader design philosophy — visible in the No Code Slim, which applied the same adaptability logic to a very different use case. Override takes it further, into terrain where the stakes are higher.
Ventilation and thermal management: 360° in motion
Anti-fog, tear-offs and triple-density foam
Override was built around 360° airflow. The lens features an internal anti-fog treatment, and the goggle is compatible with universal tear-offs for the most demanding conditions. Lateral foams manage moisture effectively during intense pedalling phases, while the triple-density inner foam optimises both comfort and sweat absorption on long rides.
The 45 mm strap with silicone grip ensures stability on rough terrain — a detail that may seem minor until the moment it matters most, mid-descent, at speed, on ground that offers no forgiveness.
