Based near Pesaro, Italy, WRS has quickly emerged as one of the fastest growing manufacturers of acrylic windscreens and special parts in Europe. Founded in 2009, its success has been driven in no small part by technical partnerships and sponsorships with major teams such as Pramac Racing (Ducati MotoGP), BMW Motorrad official team (WorldSBK) and Team SIC 58 Squadra Corse (Moto3). The latest news just accounced is that WRS is now the technical sponsor of "Reale Avintia Racing Team" with Johann Zarco and Tito Rabat.

The company has invested heavily in cutting-edge technologies, creating a dedicated design team and a production department with a reputation for precision and quality. "We combine new technologies for design and development with the use of certified materials with the best parameters of resistance and transparency," says CEO Nicolas Zavoli. "All our products are designed with the utmost attention to detail and checked one by one to give our clients a product of the highest quality with 100% 'Made in Italy' precision."
WRS windshields are made in high quality acrylic (Plexiglas PMMA), which guarantees an excellent "transmittance" (ability to pass the light) and correct optical clarity. "They are safe and on impact can absorb the energy by breaking, but not shattering like glass, so they do not create dangerous splinters."

"Our designs are so finely tuned that whether a high or a low design, we gain optimum protection from wind and rain - the basis of our designs have a more dynamic line that protects most of the body from the air, but leaves the face uncovered. The addition of deflectors can further protect the shoulders and arms."
Seen here, and showing the diversity of their range, are a 4.5 mm thick Plexiglas sport windshield for the BMW S 1000 RR (2019), a race windshield for the Ducati Panigale V4/S and a touring style screen for the versatile Suzuki V-Strom 650 (2017-2019) - each one aerodynamically tuned to eliminate the turbulence that hits the rider's helmet and styled to complement the lines of the bike.

"Physical simulation software allows us to achieve high aerodynamic performance combined with the OE designs our products replace, but with a design harmony that enhances the style of the bike. Testing is extensive, out on the road, in year-round real-world riding conditions, as well as in the software. Aerodynamics is about 'feel' as well as math, and working this way allows us to offer aesthetically unique products with excellent aerodynamic protection and minimum turbulence values," says Nicolas.
