The Italian Givi presented at the last trade fair of Milan a new range of high-tech deflectors for motorcycle and scooter. Except wearing a safety vest to keep visibility, when they cross the lights of an automobile, its windscreens and bubbles “Ice Screen” illuminate in blue. An obvious security advantage for night and winter trips!
When riding a motorcycle or scooter, good visibility on the road reduces considerably the risk of road accidents. In the absence of democratization of the yellow vest, so-called “high visibility” solutions have multiplied: retro-reflective inserts, switched to intelligent materials and even LEDs. With its latest innovation, the Italian Givi pushes the concept a little further…
In the framework of the last EICMA fair in Milan, he introduced a new concept of front defroster stamped “Ice Screen”. The idea is as simple as it is effective: when the device is illuminated by traffic lights moving in the opposite direction, it emits a powerful blue light that resembles a neon light like reflective material. Its traditional role, protection against wind and rain, is thus doubled with an active safety feature!
This innovation has just been released from Givi cartons and is only available for 2 models: the Honda CB 500 F (2016) and the Honda SH 125i (2012-2016) scooter. The complexity of manufacturing (application of pigments on edges and new polishing technique) also prevents its use on large surfaces: it will be necessary to wait to see disembark Ice-shields high-protection protection.
The new Givi Ice Screen range is developed on the basis of the standard models, it benefits from the same advantages, starting with its simplicity of adaptation. Each bubble or windscreen is mounted on the original fasteners thanks to a supplied hardware kit. Motorcycle can drive it safety with reflective vest and use this new accessory. While waiting for the release of a version for Yamaha T-Max 2017, the models for CB500F and Sh125i are displayed at the respective prices of 142.60 and 70.10 €.
