We’ve said it once and we’ll repeat it for eternity—the combination of a pinlock-ready shield with an automatically tint-changing Transitions lens is the cat’s meow. Never worry about fogging, never worry about squinting, or changing out a dark-smoke shield while on the go.
So what's the catch? There is none, except the price, which is justified by not having to lug another shield with you or stuff sunglasses into your helmet. The only real downside is the first minute after leaving the noonday sun and entering a tunnel, at which point you can either open the shield and activate your "safety squint," or just deal with it, and for every other instance enjoy the automatically adapting tint of the best upgrade shield money can buy.
CWR-F2 Transitions Photochromic Pinlock Shield is designed to fit the SHOEI RF-1400 helmet. For Shoe’s other popular street helmets including X-14, RF-1200, and RF-SR, use the CWR-1 Transitions Shield.
From the manufacturer:
This shield offers 100% UVA & UVB Protection and a scratch resistant coating. Whether testing yourself on the track or out for a weekend cruise, motorcyclists know how important clear, crisp vision is.
LIGHT, DARK, AND EVERY SHADE IN BETWEEN
When Transitions shields are exposed to UV light, silver-halide photochromic molecules in the shield begin to change structure. This reaction is what causes the shields to darken. The superiority of Transitions brand technology lies in their exclusive, patented formulas. The molecules constantly and smoothly re-calibrate so the optimal amount of light reaches your eyes whether you’re in bright sunlight or under cloud cover.
DESIGNED TO MEET INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS
- UV Protection: Blocks 100% of UVA and UVB rays
- Full activation in 2 minutes*
- Impact resistant
- Photochromic performance is influenced by temperature, UV exposure and shield material.
