Hi all,
We all know it — windscreens on these things are an absolute joke. I look at mine and it cracks. Half joking… half not.
After getting flogged repeatedly with failures and replacements, I finally went non-OEM — XYG.
At the risk of jinxing myself, I held off posting this for a while… but here we are.
I never once got past 2,000km on a Pilkington before it was cooked — full cracks from the smallest chip. Absolute rubbish IMO.
The XYG has finally broken that streak. Yes, it still chips — the screen angle basically guarantees that — but here's the thing: the chips stay as chips. Revolutionary concept apparently.
What always did my head in with the Pilkington was how a tiny chip would spiderweb into a full crack almost overnight. Done. Gone. Every time.
Won't be putting another Pilkington on, full stop. The XYG is the superior product in my experience — I'd even say the surface finish looks more consistent, though that's subjective.
Anyway, good luck out there — hope this saves someone the same headache.
