Muckynutz Full Face Fender front mudguard


Muckynutz’s latest mudguard design uses a clever bit of Origami. Double overlapping contact points that sit inside the fork arch allow the fender to follow the curve of your front wheel. There are also pre-creased lines at the rear, which allow a degree of height fine-tuning to accommodate different tyre profiles. It’s a good length too, at 375x268mm, so it offers excellent protection from anything thrown up by your front wheel. The thick plastic feels robust and limits flex once weighted with mud, and the five fixing points (which use Velcro straps, not zipties, so as not to ruin your paintwork) keep it firmly in place.

Despite the fact that carbon rims are becoming more and more common on mountain bikes these days, you can guarantee that ENVE wheels will be a talking point when someone is eyeing off a steed. Instantly, the big bold logos on each rim scream "fast", "light" and to some extent, "expensive" The kids call this 'bling'.

Cannondale Trail SL 29 SS

The fat aluminium tubes are a constrast to the skinny items seen elsewhere in the test, but this rigid Cannondale uses them to create one of the most old-school - and lightest - rides here.
