The purr of cylinders becomes an angry growl and sweat steams body armor as he leans 325 pounds of aluminum and attitude low enough to scrape a slider and taunt the limits of sanity. He’s Nicky Hayden, The Kentucky Kid who became the MotoGP World Champion in 2006. We’re saluting him with a special edition of Oakley OIL RIG, an aggressive style worthy of a racer whose world rips by at more than 200 mph.
Made for collectors and speed fanatics, this is the second edition of the Nicky Hayden Signature Series OIL RIG. We redesigned the metal icons for a new “split” look and kept the highlights, including custom graphics with Nicky’s traditional racing number. The Polished Black frame is matched with Black IRIDIUM® coated lenses to fuel clarity in bright light while reducing glare. Nicky’s signature is laser etched at the corner of the lens, and a custom printed MICROCLEAR™ bag is included for lens cleaning and frame storage.
The comfortably lightweight frame of durable O MATTER® includes sculpturally integrated hinges with dual cam action. This premium design puts technology on the fast track with POLARIC ELLIPSOID™ geometry that creates a single continuous contour of PLUTONITE® lens material. HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) opens the throttle on peripheral vision with startling clarity. With OIL RIG sunglasses, the velocity of innovation blurs the line between science and art, and it salutes one of the hardest working racers on the circuit.
