Aerodynamically superior VStream+ windshield designs for S1000XR

ZTechnik, the specialty brand of windscreens made in Maywood, Illinois, by National Cycle, has added 3 new VStream+ windscreen designs for the Sport/Adventure BMW S1000XR.



The company says that the new screens have "the shape and contour to help reduce annoying turbulence". The VStream is named for its unique, patented "V" shape, while the "+" indicates that a "highly engineered and perfectly manufactured" mounting bracket is included in the kit.
VStream windscreens are effective because the three-dimensional contours push turbulent wind out and away from the side of the rider's head, reducing turbulence and wind noise, and the smooth-radiused edges are precisely engineered to add to the excellent aerodynamics.


The advantage of the VStream+ is that the included mounting bracket is more robust than the OEM mount points - assuring that the screen will "stay tight, strong and secure".
Available in clear, light or dark tint, VStream windshields are made from hard-coated Lexan polycarbonate, a material that provides outstanding durability and optical clarity. The company says that their ZTechnik windscreens are 20 times stronger than windscreens made from acrylic or the "aircraft" material that is commonly used in the motorcycle industry.
"We believe we make the world's best and toughest windscreens and we back that commitment up with a 3-year warranty against breakage", says award-winning chief engineer and CEO Barry Wiley, whose father founded the company in 1937.
