Information

A fatbike mudguard for rigid forks - The innovative design of the Fat Face Fender XL offers maximum front protection from a flexible mudguard, at a fraction of the weight of a bolted-on mudguard; an excellent option for riders who want protection without the bulk.

Features

  • An innovative design, the mudguard profile folds allowing it to follow the shape of the wheel. It sits close to the rubber and overlaps the tire width to catch everything thrown up at high speed.
  • Prevents mud, gravel, sand, and animal snow from being thrown onto your face.
  • Can be used on all fat bike wheel sizes.
  • Flexible design with 4 attachment points... the mudguard hugs the profile of the fork and bridge to allow maximum tire clearance and prevent mud from clogging inside.
  • Protects your fork and prevents clogging, reducing the need for cleaning and maintenance.
  • Discreet and effective... it won’t interrupt your ride.
  • Comes with high-quality genuine Velcro straps to attach to the fork. It’s gentle on paint and makes mounting and removal easy. You can also choose zip ties if you prefer.
  • When properly mounted, there is no movement or rattling.
  • One of the lightest and most versatile fat bike mudguards available in its size, weighing only 75 g.
  • Compatible with most rigid fork models.*
  • Can serve as a rear guard on some setups.
  • Easy to clean because it’s flexible and opens flat. Just wipe it down and you’re done.
  • Made in the UK from recyclable plastic.

* This mudguard is not compatible with forks that have a cross brace in the arch, such as the Trek Farley.

Durability
It’s no secret that plastic is used in most of our products, simply because it’s the best material for the job.

As a responsible manufacturer, we are committed to sustainability; producing and selling our products with minimal waste, minimal packaging, and recycling everything we can along the way. Each product is designed to serve its purpose for many years and is by no means single-use plastic. When a Mucky Nutz product finally reaches the end of its functional life, it can be fully recycled and we encourage all customers to do so.

Installation
We are currently updating the mounting instructions for all our products. In the meantime, please follow the steps below. If you need help, call us.

  1. Take the roll of Velcro and wrap it around the fork so that it overlaps by about an inch. Cut this length and repeat the process for the other side of the fork.
  2. Now do the same on the bridge. You will end up with two lengths of Velcro for the fork and two lengths for the bridge.
  3. Now take the mudguard, break the suspension tab and place the rear "arms" under the front so they overlap, then thread the longest length of Velcro through the aligned holes (fuzzy side to the fork). Stick the Velcro together to hold the arms together while positioning the mudguard on the fork. Repeat on the other side.
  4. Position the mudguard on the fork and first tighten the two upper Velcro straps around the bridge so it pulls upward, then tighten the lower arms around the fork.
  5. Press gently along the fold lines to bring the roof to the desired clearance for the tires and align the shape. You’re ready to go.
