Berlin, Germany based company Motogadget has released what it says is the world’s first glassless mirror series for motorcycles.
Called ‘m.view’, the patented mirror surface is milled directly into the metal of the body. The aluminium itself is the mirror surface, meaning a frame or edge is no longer necessary and 100 percent of the mirror surface is used for a “minimum size with maximum mirror area”.
“Without glass and frame, an elegant and weightless design is achieved. The mirror body itself is very thin and light. Shattered or fallen out glasses are simply impossible with this mirror”.
The convex mirror surface is produced in a complex fly-cutting process using diamond tools on ultra-precision machines directly on the aluminium body. It is then made resistant to oxidation, corrosion and scratches by a high-tech plasma coating in a vacuum.
The mirrors and mirror arms are made of billet aluminium, CNC-machined and anodised in black. All parts such as screws or ball heads are made of stainless steel.
Motogadget offers four different mirror designs with conventional mirror stem as well as three handlebar end mirrors, all with ECE marking. The range also includes two tiny handlebar end mirrors without ECE marking.
