Keeps the Mud Out of Your Teeth
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Purchased this for a lot of slush riding during North Idaho shoulder seasons. It is a tight fit, but functional and effective. Bent it slightly too much while trying to adjust the position, and cracked the rear portion down the middle. Probably more of my fault than the manufactures. Fixed it with black duct tape and we're back in action.

Keeps it clean
- Familiarity:
- I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
The construction feels strong and durable. I really like the easy on and off design of the Velcro straps, however, I have not been able to really put it to the test in heavy mud and wet conditions to see if they hold up. Worst case I’ll just throw on some zip-ties.

Great mud guard that keeps your teeth clean when flying down the hill. Easy installation and seems to be pretty durable so far!

Use Protection
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Tight fit but once you get everything strapped down, it's solid. If you're using the provided velcro, make sure to pre-measure around the fork. Like others have stated, zipties would do better but I'll see how the velcro stands up. If you catch some spotty areas or if you don't tighten the straps on this tight enough, you'll hear everything that rotates through, kinda annoying. If you have Fox forks, I'd recommend the Syncros Trail 34SC Fender instead.

Tight fit but nice
Had to play around to get the fit right. Well built and does the trick. Used zipties instead of the velcro straps.

Save Your Frame
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I mostly landed on this one because the colors matched my bike and the price was right for a small piece of plastic. Despite negative reviews on the velcro strapping on these guys so far I have had no issues both riding and driving at highway speeds. After getting everything sized to fit my bike this fender fits great. Its light, inexpensive and will save some piece of mind when slogging down loose or wet terrain. Do yourself and your bike a favor and get a fender.

Protect Your Frame
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Being in Utah I got this fender to protect my frame from rocks. So far so good. I tossed the velcro strips and used zip ties from the get go and have no complaints. I had to trim to down a far amount just so it wasn't so long. Overall, not a bad fender at all.

Bad quality
Used it once, the Velcro they sent was not long enough for the 4 supports points. Had to put zip ties. First ride out was very muddy, mud builded up and tore up the plastic. ;( didn’t last a single complete ride!

Protect your Sh*t
You may not always need this addition on your bike. But It's cheap, it's super easy to install, it looks good, and it makes a huge difference when you need it. Enough said.

This has been a great fender for those few, and far apart, muddy days we have in SLC, UT. It's really easy to install, which is an added bonus.

Great fender. Comes a little large but the cut lines make it easy to custom fit for your bike. Clears a 2.6in tire on a Fox 34. The hook and loop material could be a little longer but I ended up just using zip-ties. Hoping the fender helps prolong the forks dust seals.

Mud... where?
Love this mud guard in wet muddy conditions, keeps those mud strikes away. Not mention adding some nice style to your bike.

Great mud guard for ripping through wet conditions. Keeps the gunk out of your face for the most part. Installation was simple but for some reason my setup came out a little bit crooked. Other than that minor visual flaw, it works fine.

I put this fender on my santa cruz hightower and it keeps the mud out of my face. Even gives enough coverage for the 27.5 x 2.8 tires.

Fender Bender
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
This fender seemed pretty cool and I was intrigued to try a new companies out on my new bike. It appears to offer more coverage. Upon getting it out of the packaging when I was lining it up, i couldn't get it to sit just right and it was a bit awkward and before I went any further- I decided that I should return this and go back to the old tried and true ones that I have ridden with in the past. There was just too much material and too many directions for cutting to get it perfect. And it seemed flimsy. I love riding with a fender and it's the best way to avoid excessive kick up, this was just not the one for me.

Will this work on a fat bike fork?

No, you would want the XL version for a fat bike

Ultimate Enduro!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Fenders are kind of like goggles on an open face helmet, they are extremely enduro. Which I am all about, I don't want to be seen in the trail head parking lot without an Enduro Helmet, with goggles, Enduro shorts, Enduro Jersey, and Enduro bike with Enduro Handlebars (800mm minimum) and a dope Enduro fender. #SoEnduro #DoYouEvenEnduro Jokes though. This fender is pretty rad, it offers a little more coverage than others, installs super easy, the velcro straps are a nice touch but there is barely enough length so cut carefully. You may be better off just going to the zip ties Cut guides on the underside for those that want to resize it, which you probably will. If you haven't ridden with a fender, I would say give it a try, not only is it the current style, but you will be pleasantly surprised by the amount of trail debris (wet or dry trails) that you are NOT being pelted with. *Slight Update / Revision here. I needed to cut a bit of material down from this fender in order to get it to stop flexing into my tire. While I love having a fender to keep the debris out of my face, this isn't the stiffest option until a bit of the material has been cut down.
