The Ass Savers Win Wing MTB Detour protects the rider’s back from the knees upwards. The ultralight mudguard weighs 114 grams, fits all types of MTB from 26" to 29", and is suitable for tires up to 3,0" (76 mm) wide. It attaches in seconds without tools.
The mudguard measures 415 x 115 mm and is 0.9 mm thick. The blade is made from PP, the holders from PA, and the strap from TPU.
Features
- The Win Wing MTB is designed for wider tires and diverse frame geometries. Its length-adjustable, reinforced wishbone is adapted to knobby tire profiles, while the larger, structurally reinforced blade provides protection on mountain bikes.
- The Detour design is ideal for bikepacking and has been a popular choice on remote routes for over 5 years.
- The mudguard shields the upper rear quarter of the wheel. Water and mud leave the wheel in a straight line from the tangential release point, so this design helps protect critical areas of the rider with minimal material.
- Install the mudguard close to the wheel; a ca 10 mm tire clearance is recommended. For the optimal horizontal position, place the wishbone pin at the zenith of the tire. Adjust the wishbone length to suit the frame geometry.
- There are four different blade-angle settings to compensate for the angle of the seat stays. Choose a horizontal or tail-up position. A tail-down angle reduces the mudguard’s efficiency.
- The straps are made from tough TPU. Pull them as tight as is comfortable by hand. If the mudguard is unstable, try the next hole in the strap.
- Soft rubber feet gently rest against the frame. Anything strapped to a bike for an extended period may leave marks, so apply frame protection stickers at the attachment points if you want to preserve the bike’s finish.
- The mudguard can flex in an accident and is designed not to jam if large chunks of debris get caught in the wheel.
- The glass-fiber-reinforced wishbone holder is flexible and tough, and the rubber straps are highly durable.
Preparation and care
Before use, fold the flat plastic piece into a functioning mudguard. The scoring lines are designed to provide locking mechanisms, self-centering, spring loading, and material endurance. For proper performance, read the instructions or watch the instruction video.
