How it works

Double glazing for your shield

A Pinlock® lens fits inside your shield between two pins. Its moisture-absorbing surface draws in and holds the water vapour that would otherwise fog the shield, and the airtight seal around its edge creates an insulating layer of air between lens and shield, so condensation never gets a chance to form.

The result is a clear view in rain, cold and humid air, from the first ride to the last.

Inside every Kabuto insert

Both Kabuto inserts are Pinlock® 120XLT lenses with the same technology.

Anti-fog technology

A moisture-absorbing lens and an airtight seal work together as a thermal barrier, so the shield stays clear.

MaxVision™

A wide-screen lens that sits in a recess moulded into the shield, for the widest possible fog-free view.

XLT®

Higher light transmission across the visible spectrum: colours look brighter and more natural, day or night, in line with ECE 22.06.

Three Component Pins

Screw-based pins that fit easily and adjust finely, so the lens seals evenly against the shield.

The warranty doesn't cover damage from misuse, neglect, alterations, normal wear, incorrect installation or cleaning, or accidents (including racing and stunts), and it doesn't cover the Pinlock®-ready shield itself.
