Street Motorcycle Touring Windshield

Puig Windscreen, Dark Tint Aftermarket Windscreens on motorcycles are nothing like their automotive counterparts. Instead of keeping out airflow, motorcycle screens redirect and manipulate the air through which a motorcycle passes. The aerodynamics of the motorcycle's front end, the speed at which a motorcycle travels, and the rider's height all affect the windscreen's effectiveness.

One of two airflow conditions must be achieved for rider comfort. One is to direct the flow completely over the rider's helmet, such as in the case of most pure touring bikes. The other is to have the flow directed at the rider's upper chest, which is the case with most sportbikes. The worst scenario is to have the brunt of the airflow hit directly on the helmet. This last situation creates buffeting, which is a condition where the head is batted about by the turbulent air.

Because proper airflow is so critical to motorcycle safety and comfort, the windscreen aftermarket is a thriving business. However, a windscreen that works for one rider will not work for another. The Puig Touring Motorcycle Windscreen is designed to change the airflow to accommodate rider comfort. Its rear edge is designed to offer additional wind protection and a more comfortable ride. Of course, the conditions mentioned above must be taken into consideration if benefits are to be realized.

The Puig screen is a quality accessory. Its 3mm thick acrylic construction makes it stable and resistant to stress cracking. So, if the Puig Touring Windscreen works for your application, you will be a happy camper… or rider.
