New Race screens from Skidmarx

Skidmarx has expanded it’s range of race screens to cover some of the most popular bikes on track, including the BMW S1000RR (2015-on), Kawasaki ZX-10R (2016-on) and all-new GSX-R1000.

Available in standard (super stock), double bubble and TT Tall sizes, Skidmarx can even offer a made-to-measure service for riders with specific requirements.

Classic racers are also catered for – Skidmarx manufacturer blown screens, which were common in the 1970s and 1980s, using 3mm cast acrylic.

Ideal for competition and track day use, prices for Skidmarx race screens start from £39.95 including vat.

New Triple Bubble Screens From Skidmarx
