Taming the Turbulance: A Smarter Way to Ride

Head Buffeting

If your helmet shakes at highway speeds, you're fighting the wind the entire time, and you finish your ride with a stiff neck and ringing ears — you’re experiencing head buffeting.

But this isn’t just wind. It’s a chaotic mix of swirling air striking you from multiple angles. Buffeting happens when airflow around the motorcycle becomes unstable — especially near your helmet and upper body. It’s distracting, fatiguing, and over time, it can lead to headaches, neck strain, and shoulder pain.

A properly fitted windshield helps, but it doesn’t fix the real issue: turbulence caused by airflow around the entire front of the bike.

Road Guardians™ are engineered to smooth that airflow and reduce buffeting where it matters most.

The images below show the difference in air velocity and turbulence — with and without Road Guardians installed.

With Road Guardians

Airflow is smooth, predictable, and controlled. Wind is directed cleanly around the bike, dramatically reducing the amount of air that reaches the rider. What little airflow does reach the rider is steady and low-speed—more like a soft breeze than a blast of wind. This means less distraction, less fatigue, and a more comfortable ride.

Without Road Guardians

Turbulent airflow strikes the rider head-on. Air swirls chaotically around the fairing and rushes toward the rider's helmet and torso. This isn’t just stronger wind—it’s constantly changing wind speed and direction. That fluctuation is what causes wind buffeting, and it makes the ride louder, rougher, and more tiring.
