SKS Flap Guard mudguard


THE SKS FLAP Guard is another take on the ‘fork fender’ type front mudguard. It mounts securely via four zipties – two around the fork arch and one around each of the lower legs.

The guard extends a similar distance to the front and rear of the fork, providing a good amount of coverage in theory.We found the tapered front section reduced its effectiveness though, and with a 2.35in tyre fitted, spray still found its way into our eyes.At just under a tenner, the Flap Guard still provides reasonable protection for the money though.

Price 15$
