With only four components (competitors use as much as 40 components) it's not that much that can go wrong. Please take the time to properly read the instructions/see the instruction video to ensure the best performance.

The wishbone's held in place with two polyurethane rubber straps and you're rightly encouraged to reef them up good and tight. My point being, the ass saver type of guard do have a place, however much users of said guards may be vilified. I can’t say anything negative about the Win Wing - it’s a piece of engineering I wish had been made a lot earlier. Without any real tension holding them in place, I found that such plastic tails tended to slouch and bend especially on rougher terrain.It’s a winter-conditions no-brainer for multi-terrain riding, if you want a minimalist gravel bike mudguard for rear-end protection. The design is far and away the most effective temporary fender I’ve seen, the silhouette is sleek, Ass Saver’s offers replaceable and interchangeable parts, and the complete package delivers on exactly what it promises: keeping the road bidet at bay. It looks minimalist (it weighs only 72g, or 64g for the Road version), but by harnessing the principal of 'tangential coverage', the level of rear-end protection is impressive. I thought the best way to prove this one way or the other was to mount my camera on my seat post looking back at the Win Wing and ride through quite a lot of mud. It Just Works™ and in terms of what it's like to use there's not much more to say, except that it's also stable and rattle-free.

This is a great aid to staying dry on solo rides, but please get your full-length-mudguards-equipped bike out for group rides.

The key to understanding how the Win Wing works lies in physics: water and mud leave the wheel in a straight line from the tangential point of release. However, when the Swedish brand Ass Savers got in touch and asked if we were interested in collaborating on the launch of the new Win Wing, I tossed preconceptions and vanity to the wind.

Finally, before we move onto performance, Ass Savers offers the Win Wing Gravel and Road in five colours each. Made in Sweden from primarily recycled plastic, the Ass Savers Win Wing is an ultralight clip-on mudguard that’s designed be used on any bike—with or without fender mounts—in the cold and wet conditions of fall and winter.

I found the install to be straightforward; whereas soft, saddle-mounted fenders just feel like a token-but-ineffective solution to wet rides, the Win Wing feels confidently made and well thought out. There are simply too many parts that can come loose, rattle, or break when riding on the rough stuff. This is handy because as anyone paying attention in GCSE or O-level physics will remember, that's the direction that things travel when they're thrown off a spinning object. Stronger, gentler and darker, the fastest clip-on gravel mudguard on the market just got even better! While the two-part Win Wing install takes a few seconds longer, I was already more confident in the rigid strut-like mount design before I even had it on the bike.We inspire and inform through original bikepacking routes, stories, and coverage of the gear, news, and events that make our community thrive.

Besides the worldwide success of our Ass Saver saddle mudguard, we also offer the more protective Fendor Bendor clip-on mudguard, as well as our latest addition to the range, a long time requested mudguard extension, the newly released mud flap Brotector. I recognize that my tendency to run wider rubber is a bias at play here, but, to me a slight shift wider for each of these clearances feels more useful. I never had any issues with tire rub or chunks of gravel causing any harm to the Wishbone or fender blade, which was certainly one of my concerns. After many a-snowy and slushy ride, I can report back that the Win Wing is an impressive addition to any spin through wet conditions.mm PP (Polypropylene),Wishbone holder - glassfiber reinforced PA (Polyamid or Nylon) and Strap - TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane).
