THE LATEST FRONT fender from carbon fibre specialists RockGuardZ boasts a new profile that's designed to control the way in which mud and water exit the mudguard more effectively. Rubber strips have also been added for a quieter ride.
As with the
first-generation mudguards, it's easy enough to fit using the supplied cable
ties. The new profile and rubber strips make alignment easier this time around
though, which is a bonus. We fitted ours to an X-Fusion RV1 DH fork (which
houses a 650b wheel fitted with a 2.35in tyre) and have had zero issues with
mud clearance.
In gloopier
conditions, the underside seems to benefit from the Flowcoat coating, which
helps to prevent mud building up. When screaming down sodden trails and through
puddles, we found the Evo2 very effective at keeping our goggles clear and face
clean.
