Taken on first trip

Very disappointed with the quality of this front fender. It ripped and broke on the first ride! Garbage. Save money. Is there a guarantee period?

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others

it seems to work - Sport

Not for heavy use, I only drive in front and it flies off at the most random of times. When it gets heavy with mud or blows hard in the wind, it just falls out. **UPDATE I lost a fender while riding and contacted Todson for warranty support, they sent me a new one a week later. +1 for support.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Unassuming - Sport

Works well at 5 mph speed, but if you expect it to stay on when you hit rougher terrain or drive fast I wouldn't recommend it. After my first one broke I bought another one here and was fed up with it constantly coming loose. I no longer use this product and wish I had spent my hard earned money somewhere else like a mudflap.

Pros
  • Trial for one year
Cons
  • Some bugs

love this wing!

I have nothing but good things to say about this front fender but if you look for the right pair the DeFender rear fender will rip to pieces! But as for that part, the installation was very quick and easy. Removing anti-theft wings takes just a few seconds. Tire coverage is tons more than many other fenders I've come across. And this wing looks really decent. And one of my favorite things, the way it installs clogs the plug, so don't worry about extra sand and dirt getting in there! If I have…

Good fenders, easy to install

Most fenders are fine. Easy to install, plastic bracket BUT metal tab for reinforcement. They turn on and off at the touch of a button which is great for me when I'm doing long pavement rides so I can take them off so I don't have drag to go wrong with and when I have less drag built in (not tested yet), the open top of the fork may result in more resistance. Only 4 stars BECAUSE personal preference, wider fenders come first, which I would have preferred reversed so more protection from dirt…

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Reliable

Works great when on flat trails

I installed an RST Killah fork on my SurRon and it worked great over the weekend and did about 27 miles cross country at a moderate pace. I was in a rabbit fight this weekend and after 2 laps of practice and a lap and a half of racing the front part (the plastic structure the wing is attached to) came off and my wing flew into the woods and I was in the middle of the race so I left. Later, on the way home with the bike on the trunk, the rear lock must have been unlocked and the rear half is…

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Exchange availability

Blows kill this wing.

Remove this fender when riding mountain bike. I've been using it for a little over a month on moderate trails with about 75 miles. It served well until one cold morning when the plastic bracket broke. The front part flew away, although the rear part of the front fender stayed and offered some protection. This wing is best suited for wet pavement only. Fortunately, the two-piece fenders with thumb loops are easily removed from their mounts for off-road riding without tools. If you're driving a…

  • change price

Great product but they really need to think about making it.

Arrived quickly and well packaged but when I started to install an important part broke. The plastic nut holding the assembly crumbled because the assembly bonded metal and plastic parts and the plastic isn't as strong as metal, so it failed. I contacted the seller and he quickly sent me 2 new assemblies for free. It's been holding firmly on my bike for about 3 weeks now and works wonders in the rain and snow. Great product but they should really consider making it mostly out of stronger metal…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Incredible piggy bank
