Visually the Detour Kollection is inspired by the mind-blowing scenery of the Torino-Nice Rally, a 700 km selfsustained gravel event in the French-Italian alps. During the 2018 edition, designer Jesper Jonsson and Ass Savers founder Staffan Widell shared a bivouac on the last night of the event, overlooking a spectacular sunset over the last mountain range before the finish in Nice.

Ass Savers’ goal seems to have always been to make a low-cost solution that can improve the quality of your ride. While full coverage fenders aim to keep you dry and clean on your commute or on those long, wet winter road rides, Ass Savers are just trying to divert some of the rain & mud that is going to inevitably get you on wet adventurous rides. Ass Savers Mudder Mini strap-on plastic front wheel / face fender Lastly, the Ass Savers Fendor Bendor Big rear guard is a lightweight and extremely stable mudguard option for gravel bikes and mountain bikes. Weighing only 60g, the Fendor Bendor Big is designed to stay securely in place, thanks to its well-crafted creases and folds that offer rigidity to the thin polypropylene material.

Instead, the 20g worth of fender is all about cutting down on a small section of spray coming off the front wheel. What it does is, it limits the spray that hits two spots – the headset and your face. As someone who rides with prescription glasses, reducing the amount of sand, wet mud & water that hits me in the face is a huge deal. This thing is by no means perfect, but it probably cuts the spray onto my face by half. That’s a big enough deal that I put one of these on every bike it will fit, and just leave it there all the time. Given its lightweight design, it's incredibly stable and I didn't note any flapping around or instability with the guard. Fendor Bendor Big: Value and conclusion It's a dirty job but Fendor Bendor Big gets the job done! Maximum protection for gravel or MTB. Features

Fit: The Fendor Bendor fits all frames with standard seat stays. It's self supportive and doesn't require support fromGravel biking enthusiasts are always on the lookout for gear that can improve their off-road adventures, and one essential accessory is a reliable set of fenders. Ass Savers Fenders fit the bill perfectly for off-road adventure cycles, combining innovative design with practicality and ease of use. In this post, we will explore the benefits and features that make Ass Savers Fenders a popular choice for off-road cyclists, including their suitability for various tire widths, lightweight construction, and tool-free mounting system. Clearance can be an issue, as the added layer of protection around the tires can require extra space, and not all off-road bikes have sufficient clearance for mudguards, especially with chunkier tires. Riders might need to downsize their tires or switch to a smaller wheel size for compatibility with mudguards.

As the gravel segment expands, cyclists face new challenges. The issue of having dirt thrown in your face is a well known problem among mountain bikers. With huge clearances for 650B and 700c tires in the front fork, gravel riders are now facing a similar issue. Even if your tire isn’t rubbing on the fenders / mudguards, when the conditions are particularly muddy - and if the clearance isn’t capacious - you’ll end up with a large amount of unwelcome resistance as the accumulating clag acts as a brake on your tire. In particularly muddy conditions, a narrower tire can be the better option, all things considered. Due to its shape there's virtually no coverage of any rearward propelling spray, so it's not one to use if you like your riding mates sitting on your wheel. For riders who desire minimal protection for their front wheel, the Ass Savers Mudder Mini fender may be the perfect choice. This lightweight, discreet mudguard is designed to fit tires ranging from 32 to 55mm wide and any gravel or cyclocross fork. While its small size and low cost make it highly appealing, keep in mind that it only provides modest protection, meaning your bike may still finish a wet ride looking quite dirty.Choosing the right mudguards comes down to personal preference and compatibility with the rider’s bike. Some popular options include Ass Savers’ Fendor Bendor Big for the rear and Mudder Mini for the front, offering a lightweight and versatile combination. For those seeking more extensive coverage, traditional full-length fenders such as those from SKS can accommodate various tire sizes and geometries. The FENDOR BENDOR Big gets the dirty job done. The all new attachment makes fitting without tools a breeze, to virtually every bike in just a few seconds.
