Aerodynamics

Long Ride Shields Windshields are formed using a special heat forming method, in order to preserve the optical quality of the material. As a part of the forming a Flip-up or Curve is formed at the top of the windshield which serves to deflect wind over the riders head. Our design has been tested and proven to maximize the amount of wind deflection while allowing for the least amount of drag.

Impact Modified Acrylic vs. Lexan

Long ride shields are made from impact modified acrylic. That is to say we do not use ordinary acrylic. Impact modified acrylic is a hybrid material with the structural strength of Poly carbonates yet it is a material that will not fade in the sun like most poly carbonates. When formed into shape (rather than bent into shape) our windshields offer maximum protection from rocks and flying debris. Our windshields have every bit of strength as a lexan or poly carbonate windshield, and because they are heat formed in a special process they do not have the added stress that most flat (bend into place) windshields have when installed.

Formed vs. Flat

A cheap non-formed windshield will shatter with the smallest strike of a pebble due to over-stressed non-molded plastic. A formed windshield maintains its strength and integrity. Our windshields are guaranteed to be the strongest windshields available.

Aesthetics

Although some companies claim that radical designs enhance the windshields performance this, in fact, is misleading. Our windshields maintain a classic look while achieving the maximum results. Many of the riders who try our windshields write back to us and tell us just what they experienced when they put it on their bikes, the results have been astounding and the looks are sharp.
