Puig · The aerodynamics story
The invisible aero
The best screen on a motorcycle is the one you never notice — the one that quietly bends a wall of air up and over you. How Puig has spent six decades shaping the wind.

What you're up against
A wall of air.
At 130 km/h, air stops being nothing. It becomes a wall — pressing on your chest, tugging at your helmet, roaring in your ears until every muscle is quietly braced against it. Ride in that for an hour and you arrive an hour tired. The right screen doesn't fight the wall. It moves it — lifting the blast up and over your head and leaving a pocket of still air exactly where you sit.
Where it starts
A garage in Barcelona, 1964.
Two brothers, Jaume and Josep Puig, started shaping fairings in a hundred-square-metre garage near Barcelona. Within five years their bodywork was on Grand Prix grids. Six decades on, Puig still designs and manufactures in Spain, ships to more than sixty countries, and builds original equipment for names like BMW, Honda and Kawasaki — but the obsession hasn't changed: make the air do what you want.

How a screen is shaped
Smoke doesn't lie.
You can't argue with a wind tunnel. Puig treats it as an essential tool — feeding smoke across a shape until the streams show exactly where the air tears loose and where it stays smooth. Every curve, every height, every rolled top edge is there for a reason you feel rather than see: less buffeting at your helmet, less noise, less drag. A screen that looks simple is usually the one that took the longest to get right.
Pressing down
Aero that pushes back.
Protection is only half the story. Puig's downforce spoilers and winglets — the same thinking that steadies a superbike at the end of a straight — turn fast-moving air into gentle pressure on the front wheel. More planted, more stable, more confidence where the speed climbs. Not aero you only hide behind; aero that holds you down.
