The Bender Fender 2.0 is our next generation Bender Fender. We've considered all the great attributes from the original and improved on them.
-
Improved Performance: The fender profile has been modified so that it is now longer, both front and back, and wider, increasing the muck catching area.
-
Improved Fitting: There is a third fitting point for the fork brace, allowing the fender to follow the brace profile much tighter than before, circular or otherwise.
-
Minimised Weight: Although the Bender Fender 2.0 is larger than its predecessor and comes with an extra strap it is still the lightest mudguard available, at just 16g, as we have reduced the strap width to 10mm.
-
Variety: The Bender Fender 2.0 is available in 11 colour combinations with more on the way if all goes well.
There is one downside to the new Bender Fender though - it doesn't look like a pair of Y-fronts anymore. Sorry!!!
Here's a reminder of the Bender Fender's plus points: -
-
It stops any muck, horse, cow and dog s*** from being flung into your face.
-
It is fitted as close as possible to the knobbly bits for optimum 'muck' catching.
-
It protects your fork stanchions and brace from getting caked, reducing the need for cleaning and servicing.
-
Discretion is its middle name. It's small but effective. Don't just take our word for it! There's loads of positive chit chat on the forums and in the online mags.
-
It's the lightest mudguard available!!
-
Uses hook and loop straps to attach to the brace and stanchions, so it's easy to fit and take off.
-
It's compatible with all forward and double sus brace designs.
-
It can be used as a rear shock guard on some full sus arrangements.
-
When off, it's easy to clean as it's flexible and opens flat. Simply wipe it and you're done!!
