Motorcycle helmet visors

Finding the exact visor for your helmet

A visor is not a random choice: it corresponds to a specific helmet model, sometimes even to a shell size. Visors LS2 are available for each full-face or modular helmet from the brand, those of Scorpion for the Exo and KDF families, and Arai distinguishes its screens based on the mechanism, such as the VAS, a variable axis system that positions the pivot lower on the shell to keep it smooth near the temples. The reference can be found in the helmet's manual or on the label hidden beneath the padding. A branded visor that is clouded or yellowed diffuses light from headlights at night: it is better to replace it than to try polishing it.

Clear, tinted, iridium or photochromic visors

The clear visor is the only one that can be used at any time. Tinted and iridium screens, with a mirrored effect, reduce glare but filter out a significant part of the light: they are marked for daytime use only and should be swapped for the clear screen as soon as evening falls. Photochromic models darken under UV light, but the approval assesses them at their darkest shade, hence the same restriction on many references. The Pro Shade from Arai solves the dilemma: an external sun visor folds down in front of the clear visor and can be raised with a gesture when entering a tunnel.

Pinlock, screws and deflectors around the screen

The Pinlock insert attaches inside the visor, between two eccentric pins, and forms a double glazing with it: the trapped air prevents fogging, even in cold rain. The visor must be designed to accommodate it, like the Scorpion Maxvision screens, where the insert covers almost the entire field of vision. The visor screws and plates, from Arai or Nox, replace a lost piece or a mechanism that no longer holds its notches. The air deflectors LS2, placed under the screen, divert the airflow and air rising from the chin, which limits both fogging and turbulence.

Frequently asked questions

How to recognise an approved visor?

An approved visor bears an engraved marking, usually at the bottom or side of the screen, with the letter E followed by the number of the approval country. Dark tints also add a daytime use only indication.

How to clean a motorcycle visor without damaging it?

Place a microfibre cloth soaked in lukewarm water on the screen for a few minutes to soften any insects, then wipe without rubbing. Solvents, alcohol, and paper towels can damage the anti-fog treatments and leave fine marks.

How to remove the visor from a helmet?

Open the visor to the full position, then operate the lever or unlock button on each side plate to release it. For screw systems, keep each screw separate: they are specific and can be easily lost.

Why does my visor let it air or water through?

The seal around the helmet window compresses over time, or the plates can go out of adjustment and the screen doesn’t seal properly. Adjust the position of the plates where possible, then replace the visor or its mechanism if the issue persists.

How to prevent fogging without an anti-fog insert?

Open the visor slightly at low speed and open the chin ventilation to expel humid air. An anti-fog spray treatment can help, but its effect fades quickly in cold and humid weather.
