In all the funky coloured replacement lenses?

For example does the Blue iridium work exactly the same as the g26 iridium? It is purely aesthetics?

    The g26 is quite a bit lighter than the Blue IR. I would go for a g26 even maybe a 40 if you want to use them in flat light. The Blue IRs are meant for sunny days only.

    What I mean is. What difference is there in all the different colours? Not just those specifically.

    Theres G20, G26 and G30 for example. What do those numbers refer to?

    If you go here you can view all the different lens tints and how they affect vision.

    I'm not sure exactly what the numbers refer to, but they do sport specific sets which enhance certain colours, for example the G30 is primarily for golf and enhances blues and greens.

    Their site will give you all the light transmission info for them.
    This is my bike, there are many like it but this one is mine

    Go polarised with a lighter tint, more useful in more conditions
