CWR-1 Photochromic Self-Tinting Visor Shoei NXR - CWR-1 Photochromic Self-Tinting Visor Shoei NXR A self-tone visor is the most comfortable way of effective sun protection. The world's leading manufacturer Transitions has developed exactly this for SHOEI helmets NXR, RYD and X-Spirit III (CWR-1). A chemical reaction permanently adjusts the tint of the visor. The self-tinting CWR-1 visor darkens automatically while driving depending on the intensity of the sunlight (= UV light). This makes driving in cloudy weather, in bright sunlight or in darkness possible without changing the visor. The "Photochromic" reduces UV rays, which are equally harmful to the eyes and skin, by 100%. So to speak, this visor is a variable sun cream for the eyes. How fast this happens also depends on the temperature, since the molecules move the faster and can therefore change the warmer it is. In good weather, only about 40 seconds elapse from clear to tinted. In order for this process to happen, trillions of molecules change their structure and darken in the visor depending on the UV radiation. When the sun decreases, these visors automatically become clearer again. Normal scratches do not reduce the self-tinting ability of the visor due to additional protective layers. However, the visor should not be permanently exposed to the blazing sun when not in use, as permanent UV radiation can damage the visor over time. Like any other visor, the self-tinting can also be cleaned gently and with the usual cleaning methods. Transitions' exclusive development and research in this field is based on 20 years of experience. Transitions Optical is the only optical company with its own self-tinting technology. The photochromatic CWR1 visor is available for the SHOEI models NXR, X-Spirit III and RYD.
