The windscreen: your motorbike greatest ally
Posted on
The road, the bike, the sun: the dream of any motorcyclist when setting off on a trip is that it will be a great one, but the most important thing on the way is to arrive safely and remember a pleasant experience on the road.
For that you have to have everything ok, the motorbike, the tyres and something very important a good windscreen according to the route you are going to do because comfort is everything and few things give more security than a good windscreen on the road. 
Why use a windscreen?
The motorcycle windshields may not look very stylish on your motorbike, but when you're out on the road, wind, rain, insects and even a few rocks come along, this gadget will save you.
Another vitally important advantage is that when the journey is long and the weather gets rough, especially with strong draughts, we don't have to fight against the wind when riding behind the windscreen, which means we have a better view and are less tired on the journey.
Which windscreen to choose?
We already know why it is important to use this device on our motorbike, but which one is the ideal one for my vehicle? There are several factors that will tell us which one is the best, but above all, what we need it for.
It depends on the journey, the type of riding you have in front of you, whether it is a long or short trip, and whether it is on the road or on dirt roads.
There are several types of windscreens for scooters and motorbikes, but to be more precise we can summarise them in two types. On the one hand, those that are fixed to the scooters, which can be removed, but do not have the benefits of the second type, which are the extendable ones, a much more versatile alternative that will help you to vary their height, adjusting them to make them wider or smaller according to your needs.
And if that's not enough, there are also additional screens and spoilers that fit on top of the windscreens to further increase protection.
Our recommendation? If you're going on a long journey, the best thing to do is to use a wide, long, fixed windscreen to protect you as much as possible from the elements.
However, if the use is occasional and mostly on close circuits, you can give more importance to the style and wear a small or adjustable one that protects, but also gives a much more aesthetic face to your motorbike.
Take note!
Now that we have them in place, how do we clean and care for them? To have an optimal and accurate vision of the road it is necessary that they are impeccable and that is why you should wash them very delicately with neutral soap and a well wrung out damp sponge so that your vision is perfect.
What are they made of? 
They are made of polycarbonate and acrylic materials. The former is much more expensive, but also more resistant, it is very difficult to suffer any breakage from stones or strong wind, while acrylic is cheaper and more susceptible to scratches.
Now you know why windscreens are key to your motorbike, so choose the one you need and go out and explore the world.
When preparing for a journey, ensuring that your vehicle's windscreen is in good condition is an important part of maintaining clear visibility and overall road safety.
