MRA, the Original Creator of the Double-Bubble
Racing Screen
You’ll
know high-speed wind blast is a pain,
but a remedy is at hand with our high-quality
MRA motorcycle screens, which not
only reduce drag but enhance your
bike’s appearance too.

The World’s First...
In 1994
MRA showed the World’s
first “Double-Bubble”
racing screen at the international
motorcycle trade fair, IFMA,
in Cologne.
This, then unique screen type,
had been developed by MRA at
the request of leading race
teams who were looking for a
way of reducing air resistance
and drag when their riders wanted
to “tuck in” their
upper torso and helmet behind
their bike’s screen, to
increase top speeds.
...and the World’s
Champions
Subsequently,
renowned racers including Max
Biaggi, Loris Capirossi, Alex
Barros, Carlos Checa, Andrew
Pitt, Gary McCoy, Ralf Waldmann,
Nobby Ueda and others have won
Grand Prix victories and World
Championships on bikes equipped
with MRA Double-Bubble Racing
screens and many other screen
makers have now tried to copy
the MRA concept.

The
next generation
However,
ideas in racing do not stand
still and no matter how successful
improvements are on the racetrack,
they do not always translate
to the open road without some
modification. During development
for some of the latest models
of bikes with more angular and
pointed fairings, the original
Double-Bubble round dome was
being found to have a less beneficial
effect on riding stability,
causing lift at top speeds.
The screen shape could also
cause air turbulence that tugged
the rider’s helmet to
and fro unless the rider kept
hunched down right behind the
screen.
The benefits
Thus,
the latest generation of Double-Bubble
Racing screens from MRA come
with a very different dome design
that is flattened at the top
on models where it has been
found to be beneficial; so,
instead of creating lift, it
tends to pull the front of the
bike onto the road – a
much more desirable effect.
The turbulence problem has also
been eliminated and in order
to reduce the vacuum effect
under the dome, some models
now have air intake slits in
the front part that improve
airflow at the edge. These improvements
are also being adopted for existing
models, where necessary, so
those who ride earlier bikes
can also benefit from these
developments.
MRA motorcycle screens are manufactured
from a unique and specially
developed material - used by
no other screen manufacturer
- with the following ideal and
unique combination of properties.
• Shock resistant and
shatterproof - to minimise
the chance of breakage from
the impact of stone chips
etc.
• Rigid - to retain
its shape and avoid distortion
under extreme wind pressure
and high temperatures
• Safer - in extreme
circumstances should it break,
the resultant edges are not
sharp
• Resistant to most
chemicals - including Petroleuml/Gasoline
and Alcohol etc.
• UV (sunlight) resistant
- for at least ten years to
avoid dulling or clouding |
