Mudhugger Original Rear Mudguard - Small

Ideal for most 26" hardtail and full suspension frames, along with 27.5" hardtail frames. The Small Rear Mudhugger is all but mandatory for those sloppy rides. Keep the mud off your back, stay dry and spend more time on the bike!

For 26 inch wheeled bikes with seat stay angles above 35 degrees (this is mostly hardtails, but some Full Suss) the Small Rear Mudhugger MTB mudguard is probably the best choice. For 29er hardtails we'd recommend the MK2 Medium Rear MTB mudguard just to make sure you get full mud cover.

The rear fender braces are designed to be custom-cut around cable stops/guides and other unique seatstay/swingarm shapes and features. Some frames have assymetrical stays, like found on EVIL bikes, and may not fit or will require extensive customization to fit (NOTE: Modified fenders are NON-REFUNDABLE).

- Approx 100mm wide at the widest part
- Braces are approx 140mm long
- Compatible with our 100mm rear extender

Initially designed to overcome the problem of fitting mudguards to a bike with a dropper seat post, the Rear Mudhugger MTB mudguard works well on all bikes, providing they have disc brakes.

However, attaching the Hugger to the seat stays also overcomes all of the problems normally associated with rear mudguards. They do not move out of line, get in the way getting on or off the bike, do not foul rear suspension travel, and are robust enough to take the rough and tumble of modern trail riding demands, whilst protecting your dropper post too.

Developed during the wettest UK summer on record the Mudhugger MTB mudguards have been praised by many of the major bike magazines for their simplicity and effectiveness in back to back tests with other mudguards. Whilst we'd be the first to admit we wouldn't win any beauty competitions, once fitted to your bike you will hardly notice it's there, and staying dryer and cleaner for longer means you can stay out on your bike for longer before retiring to the pub for a well earned pint.
