National Cycle Lexan Polycarbonate with FMR Coating

Our Quantum® Innovation

Why Hardcoat Windshields?

Many riders agree that polycarbonate strength is an important benefit, but ask, "What about the clarity of the windshield?" However tough polycarbonate is, it's routinely subjected to surface deterioration from abrasion. Polycarbonate must be hardcoated to be optically clear enough for use as a motorcycle windshield. While some aftermarket companies use acrylic material, other companies use polycarbonate with the FMR hardcoating developed decades ago.

Windshields will scratch and craze from road debris, the environment, UV exposure and simple daily use. That's why manufacturers protect the surface with FMR hardcoating. But National Cycle made a "quantum" improvement in the surface hardness of polycarbonate windshields exposed to years of wear.

Presenting Quantum®: the New World Standard

Our exclusive Quantum® hardcoating has become the new state-of-the-art for windshield scratch resistance and optical clarity. Nothing else compares – this is the toughest hardcoating there is!

What Makes Quantum® Hardcoated Windshields Better Than The Rest?

SUPERIOR SCRATCH RESISTANCE!

30X more scratch resistance than typical acrylic windshields is saying a lot! Think of it as 30X more miles per windshield.

Even compared to FMR coated polycarbonate, Quantum has 10X better scratch resistance. That's the kind of performance and strength you need from a motorcycle windshield!

Ask your motorcycle dealer to show you our Quantum Scratch Test (shown at right). Try scratching the acrylic sample with the steel wool – it only takes a second. Then try scratching the Quantum hardcoated polycarbonate sample. Keep trying. Your fingertips will start to feel warm from the friction. Then you'll start to sweat. But there still won't be any scratches! Don't feel bad – we had the advantage.

GLARE-FREE OPTICS!

Think about riding into the sun at the end of the day, or riding at night with headlights and streetlights lighting up the glare of fine scratches that eventually accumulate on your windshield.

That's not what you want in your line of sight when faced with oncoming traffic!

Quantum hardcoating gives your windshield much better optical definition and clarity, and it will stay that way a lot longer!

Ride long and prosper!

QUIET • COMFORT • OPTICS

ZTechnik revolutionizes windscreen performance with its new VStream® windshield. While creating a comfortable ride for the BMW sport touring rider, ZTechnik introduces QUIET into the equation. To create COMFORT, other manufacturers will offer taller windshields and spoiler tops to lift the air stream. ZTechnik designed, for the first time ever, a windshield with airflow calculated and adjusted to quiet the rider's environment. In addition, VStream windshields are designed with an unprecedented area of protection and an outstanding level of DURABILITY and OPTICAL CLARITY that is only available through the use of Quantum™ coated Lexan® polycarbonate.

QUIET

The typical airflow pattern of the wake from most windshields is called a van Karman vortex. At speeds of 50-90 mph, the air swirls off the windshield in an approximate 90-degree segment of rotation, i.e. it rolls off the windshield, hits the bottom of the rider's neck on the way up, and curves off the shoulder at approximately 45 degrees. ZTechnik gave the VStream its name for the shape it takes at the upper edge. The "V" shape is so outstandingly quiet because it pushes this vortex out and away more than 4 inches from the side of the rider's head. The rider's helmet then resides in still air, and the passenger's environment is greatly improved as well.

COMFORT
The advanced, patent pending "V" profile and three-dimensional contours of all VStream windshields create a calm and quiet air pocket for the rider. This improvement is notable for the passenger as well. Every aspect of finishing a shield will contribute to the comfort level. That's why ZTechnik windshields have smooth radiused edges on 4.5mm-6.0mm thick material. These features and more make VStream the most comfortable windshield you can ride behind on a sport-touring BMW motorcycle.
