Mucky Nutz launches modular MugGuard Rear

Mucky Nutz has unveiled the new MugGuard Rear.

The MugGuard Rear is a unique, modular rear mudguard aimed primarily at mountain bikes, that gives the option to switch quickly and easily between short or long size, depending on how much protection is required on a ride.

In its short form, the MugGuard Rear functions as a discrete rear shock and linkage guard, shielding a bikes’ expensive bearings and seals from lashings of mud, grit and spray.

Being lightweight and discreet in size, the guard can be left on the bike without hindering aesthetics or performance.

When poor weather conditions require more protection for the rider, a clip-in the extension, can be utilised without the need for any tools.

The extension will protect the rider from rear wheel spray and splatter, and help to shield the dropper post and saddle too.

The MugGuard rear is sold as a complete kit, and comes in a drawstring stash bag.

It is suitable for both hardtail and full suspension MTBs and e-MTBs and adjustable to suit different frame designs.

MugGuard Rear is compatible with 26, 27.5 and 29′ wheels, tyres up to 3” wide and sits on soft rubber mounts to protect the frame.

According to Mucky Nutz, it weighs in at 155g in short form or 220g with extension.

All products come supplied with highly durable Velcro brand fasteners.
