Puig - touring screens, front deflectors and 'Fender Beak'
Barcelona (Granollers) based parts and accessory specialist Puig Hi-Tech Parts (Motoplastic SA) continues to add regularly to its product line, keeping its distributors and dealers constantly armed with new products for riders to improve the looks and performance of their chosen rides.
Touring
screen, seen here on the BMW F900XR, these screens ship with the
aerodynamic studies that have emerged from comparing the virtual wind
tunnel tests of the Puig screen design with the original screen that it
replaces.
Seen here for the Yamaha Ténéré 700 (but additionally available for other makes and models), this 'Fender Beak' not only protects against splashes and small objects, but the pointed shape has been designed to deliver an air flow penetration that helps the aerodynamic coefficient of the motorcycle as a whole.
Styled to match the lines of the motorcycle, the "beak" or front fender is made of matt black lightweight, high strength ABS and is installed on the motorcycle with a single 3 mm metal support that has an anti-corrosion finish and textured black paint for a strong and discreet fix.
Seen here on the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin, these front deflectors are designed to add to the excellent aerodynamic efficient by attaching to the company's wind tunnel software-derived screens without fitting problems or unwanted gaps.
"On the Africa Twin, as with other models, we found the effects of these deflectors to be remarkable," says Carles Puig. "Despite their small dimensions, the effect is very noticeable in the rider’s arms and shoulders zone, increasing aerodynamic protection to 92% and 98% in these critical areas of the body."

Designed to integrate into the lines of the motorcycle, they are made of 3 mm high-impact acrylic material with a rounded edge for greater safety for the rider. They are available in clear, light smoked and dark smoked colours.
Also seen here, from Puig's extensive screens programme, these touring screens - shown on the BMW F900XR - are designed with the objective of improving the aerodynamic protection of the rider without reducing his/her field of vision. In addition, these screens fit perfectly with the adventure style and aesthetics of trail models thanks to the wide range of size and colour options offered.

"We manufacture these touring screens using the most advanced technologies," says Carles, "using 4 mm thick acrylic material with UV protection and with a 2 mm rounded edge. This finish gives it a more elegant touch and offers greater security, fulfilling the regulations of the German TÜV.
"The fully reversible assembly of this screen follows a process that can be done without having to ask for a mechanic thanks to the simple and intuitive design of our adapters. The package also includes the aerodynamic studies that have emerged from comparing the virtual wind tunnel tests of our Puig screen design with the original screen that it replaces."
