SKS Beavertail Mudguard XL Set

SKS Beavertail Mudguard XL Set

The SKS Beavertail Mudguard XL Set is a premium fender solution designed for mountain and trekking bicycles that demand reliable protection against mud, water, and debris. Crafted from high‑performance plastic reinforced with steel angle brackets, this set delivers durability without compromising on weight or aesthetics.

Key Features

• All‑Weather Protection: The generous coverage of the front and rear fenders keeps riders dry in rain, snow, and dusty trails. Their wide design captures splashes from both wheels, reducing the risk of slippage on wet surfaces.
• High‑Performance Plastic Construction: Made from impact‑resistant polymer, the fenders resist cracking and deformation even after repeated exposure to harsh riding conditions.
• Steel Angle Bracket Support: Each fender incorporates a steel angle bracket that anchors the plastic shell securely to the bike frame. This hybrid construction balances lightweight performance with structural strength.
• Clip‑On Mounting System: The set features a simple clip‑on mechanism compatible with standard 26–28” wheel sizes (including 27.5” and 29”). No drilling or special tools are required—just slide the fender onto the frame, tighten the clamp, and you’re ready to ride.
• Universal Fit: Designed for a wide range of mountain and trekking bikes, the Beavertail XL set fits most frames with 26–28” wheels. The adjustable mounting brackets accommodate variations in fork length and seat tube angle.
• Low Profile Design: Despite its large coverage area, the fenders maintain a sleek profile that does not interfere with bike handling or aerodynamics on flat terrain.

Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Frame: Clean the mounting points on both the front fork and rear triangle. Remove any debris, rust, or old adhesive that could hinder a secure fit.
2. Position the Fenders: Slide the front fender onto the fork until it sits flush against the frame. Align the clip‑on bracket with the mounting holes on the fork.
3. Secure the Clamp: Tighten the clamp bolt evenly, ensuring that the fender is firmly held in place without over‑tightening, which could damage the plastic shell.
4. Repeat for Rear: Follow the same steps for the rear fender, aligning it with the seat tube or chainstay mounting points. Adjust the angle to achieve optimal splash coverage.
5. Check Alignment: Verify that both fenders are level and centered. A misaligned fender can cause uneven water distribution and affect bike handling.

Maintenance Tips

• After each ride, rinse the fenders with clean water to remove mud and grit. This prevents buildup that could lead to corrosion of the steel brackets.
• Use a mild soap solution for deeper cleaning; avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade the plastic over time.
• Inspect the clip‑on bolts regularly for tightness. Loose bolts can cause wobbling and reduce splash protection.
• Store the bike in a dry, shaded area to protect the fenders from UV degradation.
