ShieldX motocross goggles: protection and factory look for your 50cc gear
You've fitted a seat cover that pops, a matching graphics kit, rims that match… and you ride with an old scratched pair of goggles dug out from the back of the garage. Let's be clear: that's exactly what wrecks a factory look. The helmet and the goggles are the first thing people see when you roll up to the track. So they might as well tell the same story as your bike.
We designed the BKS ShieldX goggles for exactly that: protect your eyes when stuff flies up, and finish off a coherent 50cc setup without breaking the bank. I'll show you how to match them to the rest, and which ones to pick depending on how you ride.
What the ShieldX goggles actually are
They're motocross goggles cut out for the geared moped and motocross: a face foam that hugs your face, a wide field of vision, and a lens system you swap in two seconds. You'll find the full range in the ShieldX Goggles collection.
Two lens families, two budgets:
- Mirror lens — the tinted mirror effect that changes everything in photos. Available in Blue, Red, Gold, Silver (and Pink). Count from 54,90 € for the complete goggles.
- Clear lens — the all-weather all-rounder, perfect when the light drops or under the trees. At 43,90 €.
The mirror is the factory-look choice by definition. The clear is the sensible choice when you ride early morning, late, or when the sky's overcast. A lot of riders grab both lenses and switch depending on the session — which is exactly why a quick lens system matters.
What about tear-offs?
When the mud's flying, you stack clear films (the tear-offs) over the lens, and you rip off the dirty film mid-run to get a clean view again without stopping. The compatible pack of 10 ShieldX tear-offs is yours for 10,90 €. A must as soon as the ground turns greasy.
Matching the goggles to your seat cover and graphics kit
Here's the heart of it. A 100% factory look isn't one part shining on its own: it's a thread of colour running across the whole bike and your gear. The goggles are the finishing touch that closes the whole thing off.
The rule I apply: one dominant colour, one accent colour, and that's it. If your BKS 50cc graphics are blue/white, you go for a Blue mirror lens — not Gold, not Red. The eye has to follow the same shade from the front plate all the way to your goggles.
We wrote a full colour guide so you don't get it wrong: how to match your seat cover to the graphics kit and the rims. The goggles fit exactly into that logic.
- Blue / white graphics → Blue or Silver mirror lens.
- Red / black graphics → Red mirror lens.
- Orange / KTM-style graphics → Gold mirror lens for the warm vibe, or Silver to stay neutral.
- Multicoloured or busy graphics → clear or Silver lens, to calm things down and not pile it on.
If you want to push the coherence all the way, your seat cover picks up the dominant colour too. That's the whole point of building your seat on the 3D configurator with the same colour codes as your graphics and your goggles.
The complete 50cc gear, in the right order
When a young rider kits out their first geared moped, you often see the budget go all over the place. If you're just starting out, take a look at our guide first 50cc at 14: gearing up and personalising — it puts the priorities back in order.
For gear that holds together visually, here's how I think about it:
- The graphics set the dominant colour (the BKS 50cc Semi-Custom Graphics Kit, 10 colours, from 179,90 €).
- The seat cover picks up that dominant colour and adds the grip.
- The ShieldX goggles close off the gear side (from 54,90 € mirror, 43,90 € clear).
- The details: rim, fork and cartridge graphics kit for the finishing touches.
The idea isn't to buy everything at once, but to pick a guiding shade and stick to it with every purchase. That way, even spread over several months, your setup stays in tune.
Why you should take eye protection seriously
Beyond the style, goggles that hold and a clear lens are pure safety. Stones, spray, branches in the woods: you don't close your eyes at 40 km/h. A scratched lens distorts your vision and tires you out. Better a clean clear lens than a blown-out mirror one — which is exactly why tear-offs and a spare lens earn their keep.
FAQ — ShieldX motocross goggles
What's the price difference between the mirror lens and the clear one?
The complete goggles with a mirror lens are from 54,90 € (Blue, Red, Gold, Silver). The clear-lens version is 43,90 €. The clear stays the most versatile in low light; the mirror is the factory look.
Are the ShieldX goggles compatible with tear-offs?
Yes. A pack of 10 ShieldX tear-offs is available at 10,90 €. You stack the films over the lens and rip one off as soon as it gets dirty, without stopping.
Which lens colour should I pick to go with my graphics?
Go with the dominant colour of your graphics: blue/white → Blue or Silver, red/black → Red, orange → Gold. If your graphics are very busy, choose clear or Silver so you don't overload it. It's all detailed in our colour guide.
Can I match the goggles to my seat cover?
It's actually recommended. Build your seat cover on the 3D configurator with the same dominant colour as your graphics and your goggles: the whole thing is in tune, from the front plate all the way to your helmet.
Is shipping free?
Shipping is free from 100 € of order, and payment is available in 3 or 4 instalments with no fees. By adding your seat cover to your goggles and your graphics, you get there fast.
