Kinesis Fend Off Wide Road Mudguards

The Kinesis Fend Off Wide Road Mudguards provide full-wrap metal protection designed to handle wet UK conditions with a durable anodised finish that stands out for long-term performance. Built for wide tyres and tough weather, they offer strong coverage, reliable stability, and a robust design suited to modern road and gravel setups.

Key Features and Benefits

• Anodised aluminium construction: The guards use a tough anodised alloy that resists corrosion in wet and gritty conditions. This provides long-term durability, which results in consistent performance through repeated exposure to rain and road spray.
• Full-wrap metal coverage: The guards extend around the wheel to block water and debris from all angles. This increases protection for both the rider and the bike, which reduces wear on components and lowers ongoing maintenance.
• Laser-etched graphics: The graphics are precision-applied during the anodising process to prevent peeling or fading. This keeps the mudguards looking neat over time, which ensures a cleaner and more professional finish on the bike.
• Rear cut-outs for tight chainstays: The rear guard includes shaped sections that allow it to sit cleanly between narrow stays. This improves fit on modern frames, which results in fewer clearance issues during installation.
• Long-reach seat stay bridge: The extended bridge increases space for larger tyres up to 45mm. This supports riders using broad road or gravel tyres, which ensures stable coverage without rubbing.
• Convertible polypropylene mudflaps: The header card doubles as a set of durable flaps that add extra water control. This improves spray protection at low and high speeds, which leads to a cleaner and drier ride.
• 50mm wide design for up to 45mm tyres: The wide profile pairs with broader tyres to maintain full spray protection. This keeps water directed downward, which stops side-spray as long as tyres stay within the recommended width.
• 707g weight including hardware: The complete set remains light for full-metal guards. This reduces added bulk on the bike, which helps maintain a stable and efficient ride feel.

The wide profile, strong alloy build, and full-wrap shape work together to give stable coverage on wet roads. The shaped cut-outs, tyre-friendly spacing, and included mudflaps offer practical solutions for riders who need dependable protection when using larger road or gravel tyres.

If you want reliable coverage for year-round riding, these guards offer a solid balance of durability, fit, and spray control that makes them a practical upgrade for wet-weather setups.

Specification:

• Fend Off WIDE mudguards are 50mm wide and will accommodate up to 45mm tyre, depending on the clearance of your frameset.
• Our tyre width recommendation is purely for water spray protection. Any tyre wider than our recommendation may still fit however it is likely to throw water out of the sides of the mudguard as the tyre nears the width of the Fend Off guard. We suggest 45c for the Fend Off WIDE to be the maximum tyre width to provide adequate protection from water spray.
• WEIGHT: Wide 707g including hardware.
• Please read the Installation Manual PDF before purchasing to ensure that you have the suitable fittings on your bike to mount these mudguards.
• Please be aware, even on our Kinesis frames, the mudguards and/or stays will need adaptations to fit.
