The Zefal Deflector uses a four-point mounting system with either velcro or zip ties, both are included and it's said to clear a 3in tire of any wheel size. Made from tech polymer resin, the Deflector is uber stiff and provides decent coverage in front of and behind the fork arch. Crud Products XL Front Fender 6. Crud Products XL Front Fender Pricey but worth it if you need to remove/attach frequently The best guards are the longest and work at all speeds. If you’re riding slowly, mud comes off the trailing edge of the tyre and is thrown upwards, but as speed increases it’s thrown further forward and you eventually ride into this spray. Having a mudguard that covers the full arc of mud trajectory is the best option. Hannah tested the Medium size ‘guard. I tested the Large size. Which was just a bit too big in practice; I caught my leg on it when getting on/off the bike a few times and the long ‘guard also fouled the ground when wheelying the bike through a gate or in/out of the garage etc. I ended up taking a blade to the ‘guard and trimming it a couple of inches shorter. This was AFTER a winter ride

OK, ist ein Universalteil und letztendlich passt es ja dran, wenn auch leidlich ;) Und das mit einer ... funktionalen Optik ;) The ProGuard from RRP is a rigid polypropylene guard that comes in two sizes – standard and maximum. The standard is pretty big and offers plenty of protection, but the Max is 21mm longer at the front and 68mm longer at the rear so really ups the ante. It has a three-point fixing via the brace and fork lowers. There are 24 crown holes for zip-ties allowing it to accommodate a wide range of brace sizes and shapes and it’s compatible with 26in, 27.5in and 29in forks and (RRP claims) tyres up to three inches in diameter. The extended side mouldings also help protect the fork seals. To fit the Pro Guard, you do have to punch out some tiny holes, which is okay but there is a bit of trial and error getting it set to the correct angle. The Max size can also move a bit when riding hard and when sending it off a drop there was often a hard crunch as some part of the guard bottomed out on the fork/tyre. That said, if you want to ride 60mph through a peat bog and stay dry, this is the guard we’d recommend – dirt doesn’t get in your eyes, on your clothes, no matter how wet it is or how fast you’re going. Easily the best guard on test. Despite my aesthetic objections to the Mudhugger, in use it has been very reliable and low fuss. I did have to cut away a small portion of the front ‘extender’ flap to prevent it rubbing the chain (Mudhugger do say that some trimming is likely, so this expected) but, other than when the tyre has been especially clarted in mud, it has been fine for clearance.Soft fenders, on the other hand, are usually lighter, more discreet and seem to buzz the tire less, but in most cases don't offer quite the same level of protection as they aren't able to offer the same level of coverage. How do you fit mudguards on a mountain bike? and on the derailleur. In addition, a further extension provides even more protection against splashing water. If

While a lot of the guards on this list seem very minimal they actually do an impressive job of protecting the most important area: your face. Riding in the wet becomes far easier if you don't have half the trail spraying all over your face. Even if you are wearing the best mountain bike goggles, having a mudguard should keep your goggles fresh and vision clear to the bottom of the trail. How are mudguards mounted?Am Hinterrad passen sie an meinem BMC Team Machine nicht weil die Sitzstrebe zu tief ansetzt. Da dies mitterweile bei sehr vielen Rädern der Fall ist, sollte sich SKS da mal etwas einfallen lassen und eine weitere Variante auf den Markt bringen.

Another type of protection is provided by the extender which can optionally be inserted and slid towards the seat for full suspension bikes and mountain bikes with a Vario seat post.

While the Velcro works, I’m not totally convinced it’s any better than cable ties would be. If you have to cut the Velcro off short, it’s limiting its reusability/swapability between frames with different sized seat stays. Is Velcro any more or less wasteful that cable ties? I’m not sure. But still, efforts at reducing plastic are always welcome even if they’re not 100% perfect. Finance is subject to application, financial circumstances and borrowing history.

At the front, protection is enhanced with a new dual-height front spoiler, which deflects water and mud onto the wheel and downwards, away from the rider’s face. The rear mudguard utilises an innovative telescopic extension for greater coverage near the seat tube, and everything is held firmly in place with an all-new rubber fastening system to suit a multitude of frame designs, including integrated recesses for brake or gear cables as required.
