Tuareg 660 Sport screen
Seen here for the 2022 Aprilia Tuareg 660, Puig Sport style screens are 'Race Bred' - Puig is the official windscreen technical partner to the all-conquering World Superbike Kawasaki Racing Team.
Based near Barcelona, Puig has been designing, manufacturing and distributing motorcycle accessories since 1964 and these days exports to more than 60 countries. The company specialises in using 3D simulation technology and 'virtual wind tunnel' as well as street and track aerodynamics testing.
Available in a choice of colourways, Puig's design principles are to match aesthetics and functionality in equal parts, so its parts enhance the look of the bike as well as improving ergonomics. In this case, although the screen is slightly smaller and provides less aerodynamic protection for the Tuareg rider compared to the original screen, it delivers a greater free field of vision.
Manufactured in 3 or 4 mm thick, high-end CN methacrylate (PMMA/acrylic), the finish includes rounded edges to comply with European safety standards. All Puig Sport screens ship with the aerodynamic study results extracted from the virtual wind tunnel testing process, comparing its screen with the original, so riders can see as well as feel the difference in real performance. Installation is said to be "simple and intuitive".
Also seen here, these 121 mm long Core grips for the 22 mm handlebars on the 2022 Yamaha MT-09 (and other 22 mm handlebar models) "improve the feel and grip while giving the bike a custom look".
Puig's Core grips are made of thermoplastic elastomer, a material that provides a soft touch while being resistant to wear. They incorporate areas with different textures to provide a good grip without losing comfort and help to eliminate uncomfortable tingling in the hands on long routes.
Finally, these approved LED universal turn lights (blinkers) provide "a more personalised and sportier look". Compact in size (70x24 mm), they feature a slim design, have a clear glass tulip and a black fairing.
