Kinesis Fend Off Shorty Gravel Mudguards

The Kinesis Fend Off Shorty Gravel Mudguards give riders a durable and stable rear-guard option built for tough gravel use, with a standout feature in its vibration-absorbing rubberised contact points that keep the guard steady on rough ground. This compact guard uses a strong aluminium profile and stainless steel stays to offer long-lasting protection, while its short length makes it ideal for gravel setups that only need rear coverage.

Key Features and Benefits

• The aluminium guard with a powder-coated, sandblast finish: This finish increases resistance to wear and corrosion, which keeps the guard in good condition over long periods of use. This outcome ensures riders get a product that holds up to repeated gravel rides without surface damage.
• The stainless steel stays that attach to the rear dropout eyelets: These stays provide a rigid and secure fit that will not corrode, which means the guard remains stable in harsh weather. This outcome keeps rear-wheel spray under control in demanding conditions.
• The rubberised contact points on the stays: These contact points absorb vibration from gravel trails, which reduces rattling and movement during riding. This outcome improves guard stability and reduces noise over uneven ground.
• The 560mm guard length: This length offers targeted rear-wheel coverage without extending too far along the wheel, which keeps weight low while still shielding the rider. This outcome gives balanced protection for gravel setups needing compact design.
• The 62mm guard width: This wide profile allows the guard to work with modern gravel tyres, which helps maintain full coverage across varied terrain. This outcome protects riders from spray even when using larger tyres.
• The lightweight 260g total weight including fittings: This low weight reduces the overall load on the bike, which helps preserve handling on loose surfaces. This outcome supports predictable control without adding bulk.

The Fend Off Shorty focuses on giving riders rear-guard protection that stays stable on gravel surfaces, supported by its rigid stainless stays and rubberised contact points that reduce vibration. Its compact size, gravel-ready width, and corrosion-resistant build work together to offer a guard that fits well on bikes with the correct threaded eyelets and seat stay bridge design, supplying consistent function without unnecessary weight.

For riders who want a strong, compact, and stable rear mudguard for gravel use, the Fend Off Shorty offers a setup built on proven materials and a profile made for demanding conditions, making it a reliable choice when selecting rear-only coverage.

Please note: The Fend Off Shorty will only fit bikes with threaded eyelets on the rear dropout, and a seat stay bridge with rearward facing hole.
