accessories » MRA X-Creen MXC windshield --- initial impressions

I installed the MRA X-Creen MXC windshield last week and took the bike out for a long ride this morning to try out different positions on the windscreen. I didn't try every possible combination but started in the neutral (flush?) position of the top part with the bottom part, both with the windscreen raised and lowered. I think it is a modest improvement over the stock screen, both in the raised and lowered positions. I adjusted the top part in the "raised from behind the bottom part" position (i.e., I did not move the upper part to be in front of the bottom part) and the buffeting around my helmet was more noticeable, especially with the screen raised. I'll futz around with moving the top part in front of the lower part to see if that helps with any buffeting. So far I would say that the modest improvement in turbulence/buffeting is not worth the cost of this screen. FYI, I'm 5'8" and was wearing a Schuberth C3 Pro XL helmet during this evaluation. And that's a big helmet that catches a lot of wind.

During one of the stops to adjust the screen:

I found the best position for me was the "Deflector position" (Adjustment: The braces are turned upwards and slightly forward, the spoiler is more steep than the basic shield with an air gap of 10-20 mm.) in the top holes with screen in lower position. I played around with the angle a bit to get it to where I like it.

In the lower position I get nice clean air without buffeting and on longer rides I put it in the upper position. I will try it in the lower holes position when it warms up.

Hi
I have had my MRA screen fitted for 2 1/2 years it's not perfik but fitted in the give max hight
On the fixings and every thing else on max
Reduces the noise for me but changing the spoiler can make a big differa've

When comparing the total height of the mra x-screen with the original screen in pictures I noticed almost the same height.
It made me wonder if a - for myself - great enough difference would be achieved.
That's why 2 days ago I ordered the mra vario touring screen...

We will see what it gives. Mixed feelings because I want my rs to stay sporty looking, I'll report back with findings and pictures. You guys think this one still looks sporty or not?

+1 to that position. (I think its their 3rd position) Low position, low holes

Found under 80 mph, surprisingly quiet with soft wind tunnel sound, but no turbulence.
At 65 - I was blown away by how effective it was

Also opened up the top (horizontal) - noisier and crazy chest blast ... preferred PB when too hot and wanted the flow.

I use it for shoulder season and touring.

5'9, Schuberth c3pro, ear plugs and MV risers.

ps - You do need to periodic tighten all the bolts, which is a little disconcerting, but now just part of my pre-ride check and I carry an extra key now

Well, after a 5500km trip with the mra vario touring screen I am very pleased.
Fitted in the lower holes, spoiler all the way up its very nice. Sound is almost gone, buffeting greatly reduced (-75%)! I would say). Some airflow in lower position and good protection when up. In both positions sound and turbulence are greatly reduced.
With the spoiler down, screen in low position and lower holes it reaches the same height as the original screen in the same settings, when looking at the upper corners of the original screen so wouldn't be scared of losing the sporty looks.
Well worth the money!
I'm 172cm and using suomy race helmet.

Hi Pietah,

Please excuse my ignorance but does the vario screen act as a deflector and is fitted to the standard screen or is it a completely different screen?

Some pics would be useful.

I don't have an issue with the turbulence but less noise would be nice. Paul B lent me a Givi screen but it felt huge to sit behind and I didn't like it so am still looking at options.

Hi Paul,

Sounds like a good excuse for a day road testing screens

I can ride over to you, fit the Vario, go for a ride to mine for a coffee (other beverages available) then back to yours to refit my OE screen.

Cool, let me know when is best for you and assuming I am not down at my parents will be there.

Fitted in lower holes, one picture the screen is up, the other one down. Deflector in both pictures is sat at maximum height.
I'll take some close ups of different options when I'm at the bike, this was what I had from the phone.
