History

It all started on a dark, damp night at the end of the 20th century.

Visorcat co-founder Alan Boulton was riding his Honda Fireblade (pictured right) along a narrow rural road in Warwickshire in November 1999, and found that the car behind was catching him up. He pulled over to let the car go past, his ego a little dented – why did an experienced motorcyclist riding one of the most powerful bikes available have to give way to a car?

A thin film of road grime had built up on Alan’s visor, restricting his view to such an extent that he could not ride to his – or his bike’s – capabilities. It struck him that, while motorcycle technology had come on leaps and bounds in the past 20 years, the technology that allows the motorcyclist to see clearly had not moved on at all.

It was a full 10 years later that Alan (2 KTMs and a Husky) and his sister Jill (seeking her next bike) did some formal market research into the concept of a product that would fit over the motorcyclist’s glove and could wash as well as wipe the visor. When Jill won a £10,000 business award to build prototypes and file a UK patent, Visorcat was on the road …

Mission

Our goal is to make motorcycling safer and more enjoyable.

Visorcat contributes directly to both these goals by enabling motorcyclists to have a clear visor at all times.

As a manufacturer and supplier, we aim to ensure the highest levels of customer satisfaction and are passionate about listening to customers and continuously improving our products and services.

We also encourage advanced training through joint publicity campaigns with the likes of IAMRoadsmart, RoSPA and the Bikesafe campaign.

We work with other like-minded companies within the industry to promote safer riding, and hence increasing confidence and enjoyment.
