Gen3 Windscreen: Powerbronze vs OEM

3 Upvotes

Hello.

When I was researching which windscreen/windshield to choose I couldn't find a comprehensive side-by-side comparison so I decided to make one myself.

I wanted something that looks sporty but has a much higher height to deflect the wind. I was choosing among: Zero Gravity Double Bubble 16-135-02 (USA), Powerbronze Airflows 400-S140 (UK) and WRS Race High SU005F (IT).

I am european, and getting Double Bubble could not be done without risking damage and out of the remaining two Powerbronze seemed to have better wind deflection properties.

I am 190cm, footpegs, seat and handlebars are still stock.

I have an SW-Motech Pro Micro tank bag BC.TRS.00.110.30000 and this is the main reason (+ my height) why I need a taller windscreen - I cannot do a full tuck with it, as my chest hits the bag.

This review will not be scientific, I am not trying to sell anything, just helping people out who are still deciding.

  1. Distance from handlebars (Suzuki logo): OEM 22cm, PB 28.5cm (+6.5cm)
OEM height from the handlebars

  1. Laid down height from the floor: OEM 13.5cm, PB 19cm (+5.5cm)
