Bosch has upgraded its wiper blade portfolio to provide a comprehensive premium wiper series. The Bosch wiper portfolio includes advanced extensive coverage for domestic and imported vehicles and includes bracketless and conventional blades for the windshield, as well as blades especially designed for rear window applications.
"For more than 75 years, motorists have relied on Bosch wiper blades for superior performance, long life and the latest in design and technology. Attractively packaged and available in all popular sizes, the Bosch wiper blade portfolio is designed to meet the needs of every motorist who demands superior visibility when driving," said Otto Stefaner, group product manager, wiper systems, for Bosch.
The Bosch wiper portfolio consist of:
• ICON – Featuring patented bracketless OE technology with fx dual rubber for ultimate all-season performance, the pioneering Bosch ICON wiper blade lasts up to 20 percent longer than other premium wiper blades. Each year, more and more vehicle manufacturers are specifying bracketless blades as original equipment. Bracketless wiper blades are designed without metal or plastic brackets, joints or hinges, offering design and performance improvements over conventional wiper blades. The award-winning design of ICON distributes more uniform pressure along the entire length of the blade for ultimate all-season, windshield-hugging performance that provides crystal-clear visibility over a longer service life, with better resistance to ice and snow build-up
• Excel+ – With an enclosed steel tension spring and advanced dual rubber technology, Bosch Excel+ delivers quiet operation, clean wipes and long life. Advanced dual rubber technology means Excel wiper blades clean windshields better and last longer than ever before. This ultra performance wiper blade features an exclusive dual rubber compound with a fully enclosed metal tension spring, housed in an aerodynamic steel frame. The result is less streaking and unmatched resistance to wear from weather and corrosive elements. And with the exclusive Bosch DirectConnect one-step system, installation is quick and easy.
• Micro Edge – Also featuring enclosed tension spring protection from water, snow and ice, Bosch Micro Edge wiper blades offer a specially blended natural rubber wiping edge for crystal clear visibility. Designed for dependable wiping performance, every blade incorporates a fully enclosed metal tension spring and a precision cut natural rubber wiping element. That means premium wiping performance and crystal clear visibility for safer driving. The DirectConnect one-step system ensures fast, simple for more than 90% of vehicle applications
• Hindsight – Bosch Hindsight rear windshield wiper blades are designed with a pre-installed universal adapter that fits most applications for premium rear window wiping performance. Even though it may not see as much action as the front blades, the rear wiper blade is exposed to the same damaging effects of temperature extremes, ozone and road chemicals, and should be replaced regularly. Hindsight wiper blades feature an exclusive fully enclosed metal tension spring that provides more direct pressure to the wiping edge to reduce streaking.
