Puig Hi-Tech Parts Additions - Honda XL750 Transalp
The designers at Barcelona based Puig Hi-Tech Parts have had the Honda XL750 Transalp in their sights recently, with a full suite of model-specific and universal fit parts designs for the return of a popular Honda model series that first hit the market with the 1987 Model Year, initially as a 400.
Despite having been ahead of its time in terms of the proto-ADV 'Dual Sport' vision that Honda had for the Transalp, it took it out of production as a liquid-cooled four-stroke 52-degree V-twin in 2013. A decade later, it returned to much acclaim with the same parallel twin engine that Honda is using for the 750 cc Hornet.
However, whereas Transalp V. 1.0 varied in design focus and was a multi-terrain capable, but mostly on-road Touring model, the design of the relaunched XL750 is a response to the evolution of the segment and the emergence of what is now called the 'Crosstourer' sector.
The Puig parts and accessories range for these models runs from screens to mirrors, mudguards, protectors, lights and more …
Windshields
Puig offers a selection of windshield options. Depending on the model, they are made from 3-4 mm thick scratch-resistant polycarbonate and are all developed in its virtual software to optimise aerodynamics, rider comfort and field of view.
Puig's Sport screen is an aesthetic upgrade that matches the lines of the bike thanks to the different colours available. Designed for short trips or urban riding, the compact dimensions make it slightly smaller than the original screen, but the ergonomics derived from the virtual wind tunnel optimisation provides the rider with remarkable protection and enhanced riding comfort.

All Puig screens feature a regulation-friendly 2 mm rounded safety edge and ship with the aerodynamic optimisation report that compares the performance of their design to the OEM screen they replace.
Puig Touring screens are slightly larger than the OEM design and aerodynamically optimised to protect the rider without compromising the field of vision. They are available with or without a variable visor that will redirect the wind even more while achieving a great sense of comfort and stability. This visor is securely fixed to the touring windscreen by screws that affix to the pre-drilled holes.

Finally, the new Puig 2.0 multi-adjustable visor is aerodynamically designed for improved protection. Designed with minimalist lines, the special design is optically optimised, measuring 300 mm wide and 130 mm high for maximised stability and airflow management.
The rider is able to adjust the visor in up to four rotation positions, which, together with the guides that allow its height to be adjusted by 100 mm, mean an infinite range of fine-tuned positions allow it to be adjusted to the rider's height or preferences. Available in clear and light smoked.
