WRS windshield choices for Ténéré 700
Founded in 2009 ("by riders, for riders"), Pesaro, Italy based WRS hasn't allowed the lockdown to slow them down with lots of new windshield designs in a wide range of designs for a wide variety of motorcycle models.
In recent editions of IDN we showed options for the Africa Twin, the F750 and, last month, a selection of options in clear and smoked for Honda's new CBR 1000 RR-R - which shows just how quick WRS prototyping and production techniques are able to get new screens developed and onto the market.
Seen here are options for another hugely popular ADV model - the versatile Yamaha Ténéré 700. Driven in no small part by technical partnerships and sponsorships with major teams such as Pramac Racing (Ducati MotoGP), Team SIC 58 Squadra Corse (Moto3), and mostly recently the BMW Motorrad WSBK official team, 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.
"We are constantly working hard to create innovative products. Physical simulation software allows us to achieve high aerodynamic performance compared to 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 and on the track. Aerodynamics is about 'feel' as well as maths, and working this way allows us to offer aesthetically unique products with excellent aerodynamic protection and minimum turbulence values".
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 and 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 has a more dynamic line that protects most of the body from the air, but leaves the face uncovered".
