Unique DesignThe Enduroguard mudguard is an awesome front or rear mudguard. As a front mudguard it's amazing at stopping the mud and spray that’s thrown into your eyes from the back of the front wheel. Just snap off the round holes either side of the RRP logo and it becomes an effective rear mudguard protecting your linkages and shock from getting hammered. There is also a neat design feature of the “Seal Guard”, this enhanced bulge is specifically designed to give additional protection to your fork seals. Standard SizeThis Standard size is small enough to look right on short travel forks found on 4X and Cross Country/trail bikes, the fork brace is also usually closer to the stanchion so we have moved the holes for a more appropriate fit for smaller travel forks. Large SizeThis Large size offers great protection and is big enough to fit the longer travel forks found on Gravity Enduro and Downhill bikes, the fork brace on these forks are typically further away from the stanchions so we have moved the holes accordingly for a better fit. UsageThe Enduroguard is designed as a front or rear mudguard and has been specifically adapted to do both jobs extremely well, the holes that are correct for fitting to the front forks do not work when using them to fit as a rear mudguard (unless the bike has a dropped rear brace), the snap off holes allows you to rotate the guard forward for better tyre clearance and protection. Clean with a hose or jet was, no chemicals are needed and may degrade the print over time. Seal GuardThis additional bulge has been added and refined to offer additional protection for your seals against the relentless attack from spray and mud without affecting the fit or aesthetics, you will be grateful for this feature on those extremely wet rides prolonging the life of your fork seals. Front MudguardThe 'T' shape clamping points are designed to wrap around the fork leg providing a better and neater fit. The front of the mudguard is designed to offer slightly increased protection without spoiling the look of the mudguard. The wider curve with flat rear end offers maximum protection and frame clearance compared to a simple symmetrical curve. The main holes for the standard and the large are located in slightly different places, this reflects the typical differences between fork braces on long and short travel forks. Rear MudguardThe holes for the fork brace aren't ideally located when using it as a REAR mudguard, so there are 2 snap-off holes to allow you to rotate the guard forward and attach it to the brace between the rear stays (NB: The snap off holes are available on both the Standard and the Large sizes). This feature creates more mud/tyre clearance and a much better fit (although you can still use the main holes for the small number of bikes that have a dropped rear brace). Choose either the Standard or Large size depending on what rear protection you want to achieve (Standard would be the default size recommendation). GraphicsOur product displays cool looking 2 tone screen printed graphics with our awesome Evil Eyes logo on the front to finish off the look nicely. MaterialRRP have taken a more expensive route opting for a custom thickness of polypropylene to meet their requirements, they felt the standard “off the shelf” options were either too thick (1.2mic) or too thin (0.8mic), their custom material sits squarely in-between. This offers the best of both worlds; the durability and quality feel that a thicker material gives, combined with the fit flexibility that a thinner material delivers. Zip TiesAll sizes and colours will come with new custom bright white zip ties made to a custom length. WHY ON EARTH?…..well the bright white zip ties simply disappear on white forks but also offer a nice colour contrast on the other coloured forks. Whilst standard black and natural / opaque colours and lengths were available, these were dull and either not long enough for large forks, or too long for the packaging. The white zip ties look great with the white graphics and let’s face it, every mountain biker has black zip ties so if you don’t agree then they’re easily replaced.
