Indice dei contenuti
Types of Motorcycle Helmet Visors
Motorcycle helmet visors are an essential part of rider protection. As well as protecting the face from wind, rain and debris, they help to improve visibility and reduce external noise.
Choosing the right visor is therefore essential to ensure safety and performance when riding.
How to Choose Visors for Jet Helmets
Jet helmets may not have a visor to begin with, but a three-button or bubble visor can be added at a later date. However, if you opt for a three-button visor, the helmet must already be prepared (you will notice the presence of three buttons at the front). An alternative to these solutions is to use goggles or motorcycle goggles, although goggles are not recommended for safety reasons.
FK Visors’ proposal is in the latter category: the company has added to its already extensive range a universal ergonomic visor with an adjustable strap, suitable for jet helmets used in various sports, from motorsport to extreme sports such as hang gliding, skiing and speed skating.
Finally, there are also jet helmets equipped with a convex visor at the time of sale.
Visors for Full and Modular Helmets
Full-face and modular models usually include a clear visor.
You can purchase additional visors in different colours and styles to customise your helmet.
What to Consider When Choosing a Visor
When choosing a motorcycle helmet visor, it is important to consider the following aspects:
- Protection: Choose visors with anti-fog, anti-scratch and UV protection treatments.
- Style and colour: Choose a visor that suits your style and offers the right protection from the elements. In this case, it is advisable to follow the relevant homologation regulations.
Types of Visors and Accessories
Motorbike helmet visors can be customised to suit individual preferences and specific riding needs.
Jet Helmet Visors
Jet helmets can be equipped with long or shaped goggle-style visors.
Antifog and Antiscratch solutions
There are antifog solutions to prevent internal fogging and Tear off films to safeguard the cleanliness of the visor, the latter solution being used especially in circuit competitions.
Materials and Structure of the Visors
Motorcycle helmet visors are made of polycarbonate and are produced by injection moulding or thermoforming (a more sophisticated production technique). This process guarantees better performance and quality. European standards also require anti-scratch treatments to ensure optimum visibility over time.
