PRO GuIDe VStream+ Windscreens 'Oberalp' for the 2019-20 R 1250 R adventure riding gloves Maywood, Illinois based windscreen specialist ZTechnik has three new VStream+ Windscreens to give this BMW's naked roadster "some serious touring performance". The windscreens are made in three different sizes and tints to satisfy almost any rider's needs and ZTechnik says that all will offer improved wind protection and riding comfort compared to other aftermarket windscreens. VStream gets its name from its unique patented shape. The advanced "V" profile and dimensional contours push the wind vortex out and away from the rider's helmet, resulting in a peaceful, quieter riding environment. The "+" means these windscreens include a custom mounting bracket specifically designed and engineered for this bike model. These windscreens are made from tough 4.5 mm Quantum hardcoated polycarbonate. "This high- quality material, along with state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, provides outstanding clarity, impact strength and scratch resistance unmatched by any windscreen maker worldwide. "Quantum hardcoated polycarbonate is the material of choice for serious motorcycle riders. It is 10 times more abrasion resistant than FMR hardcoated polycarbonate, and 30 times more than windscreens made from commonly used 'aircraft plastic' or acrylic". VStream Windscreens are easy to install and are protected by a 3-year warranty against breakage. NATIONAL CYCLE INC.
