Fairing units may be composed of several small sections or may be stamped or formed into one large section.

L'évolution continuelle de ces carénages est un stimulant efficace pour les constructeurs qui en mettent des répliques dans le commerce. Ils sont étudiés pour réduire au minimum la surface frontale et éliminer les remous autour de la moto. Leur forme est étudiée pour obtenir le coefficient de pénétration le plus favorable. Ils sont fabriqués dans des résines très légères afin de peser le moins possible. 3, record 4, French, - car%C3%A9nage

Cette entreprise américaine fabrique depuis 22 ans des carénages avant pour vélos droits et vélos couchés. Ces carénages sont très utiles pour rouler dans des conditions météorologiques défavorables car ils coupent le vent et la pluie, permettant ainsi d'être armé contre le froid et les intempéries. Ils peuvent également procurer un gain aérodynamique qui peut améliorer la vitesse maximale sur le plat de 3 à 4 km/h mais réglage pointu, spécifique à chaque vélo, est nécessaire. 4, record 4, French, - car%C3%A9nage
