CW-1 Shield and Q.R.S.A. System
Q.R.S.A. (Quick-Release Self-Adjusting) base plate allows for tool-less shield removal and installation. The spring-loaded base plate (U.S. patent pending 11/799935) pulls the shield back to contact the window beading evenly and ensures a proper seal
The CW-1, three-dimensionally curved shield is both wider and taller than the CX-1V it replaces
Optional, CWF-1 two-dimensional Pinlock® equipped racing shields with tear-off posts are available
Scratch-resistant coating 99.9% protection from harmful UV A & B rays
Optional, CW-1 Pinlock® prepared shields are available to accommodate Pinlock® Fog Free Inserts
A pre-set lever can easily lock the shield in place to prevent the shield from opening unexpectedly, as well as prop the shield open to increase airflow
