WRS - 'High' screens for Hayabusa
Founded in 2009 ("by riders, for riders"), Pesaro, Italy based WRS has started the season with new race announcements and additions to its windscreens range with a choice of options for the Suzuki GSX-R 1300 Hayabusa.
WRS R&D and manufacturing quality processes are driven in no small part by technical partnerships and sponsorships with major race teams - such as Pramac Racing (Ducati MotoGP), Team SIC 58 (Moto3 and Moto E), BMW Motorrad WSBK Official Team, and Team RedBull KTM Ajo (Moto2, Moto3).
The latest news is that WRS has now announced that it is the windscreen technical partner for the Mooney VR46 Racing Team - Luca Marini and Marco Bezzecchi in MotoGP and Celestino Vietti Ramus and Niccolò Antonelli in Moto2.
WRS windshields are made in high quality acrylic (Plexiglas PMMA), which is said to guarantee 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," says CEO Nicolas Zavoli.
"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.
"Aerodynamics is about 'feel' as well as maths, and our comprehensive testing programmes allow us to offer aesthetically unique products with excellent aerodynamic protection and minimum turbulence values."
Available for the Hayabusa in clear or smoked, these new 'high' designs are +50 mm taller than the stock Suzuki screen they replace.
