Shield R17 Light Smoke

The Shield R17 Light Smoke helmet visor from G-FORCE is a specialized polycarbonate lens engineered for drivers who demand superior optics without compromising visibility. Whether you're logging track days, autocrossing, or running high-speed road courses, this visor solves a critical problem: managing intense glare and UV exposure while maintaining optical clarity at all angles. G-FORCE has positioned this as the go-to choice for motorsports enthusiasts and professional drivers who refuse to sacrifice either safety or performance for style.

The light smoke tint is engineered using multi-layer polycarbonate construction, offering medium light transmission that reduces glare from direct sunlight and reflective road surfaces without creating the tunnel-vision effect of darker visors. This optical treatment maintains true color perception—critical for reading track markers, brake lights, and traffic signals—while filtering harmful UV radiation. The R17 form factor is precision-molded to deliver an optimal field of view across a wide vertical and horizontal plane, ensuring that neck positioning and turning don't create blind spots during dynamic driving situations.

G-FORCE Shield R17 Light Smoke visors are compatible with full-face and modular helmet models featuring standard visor attachment pins and frame geometry. Installation is straightforward—simply align the mounting tabs, slide into the helmet's visor track, and secure the pivot pins. At just 0.41 lbs, the visor adds negligible rotational mass to your setup, keeping neck strain minimal during extended driving sessions. This product is ideal for drivers running open-track events, amateur road racing, or anyone seeking measurable improvement in daytime visibility and eye comfort without swapping helmets between sunny and overcast conditions.
