Sitting really close to your tyre, the Ass Savers Win Wing is in exactly the right position to catch water that's thrown off the tread at a tangent. And as if that wasn't enough, we even listened to your feedback and bowed down to the most common request about the Win Wing 1 - Make it black! The glassfiber reinforced wishbone holder is both flexible and tough and the rubber straps are virtually indestructible. The Win Wing comes as a two-part system: a molded plastic “Wishbone” that attaches to the seat stays using pre-installed rubber straps and a polypropylene fender that attaches to it.

Plastics become more brittle at a molecular level when the mercury dips below freezing and, in a split second, the mount became done, finished, finito—trash.

But Staffan from Ass-Saver was confident enough in his product to send a Win Wing out to me for just the cost of postage from Sweden to try in the UK mud. Offering the same protection at great value and a slightly lighter color scale (grey), it's still a great option for rear wheel spray.

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. Designed to eliminate any rattling or jamming issues, this accessory weighs a mere 64g, making it virtually undetectable during your cycling experience. The purpose of the MUDDER Regular is to keep your eyes muck-free as you go full speed down that dirtbag of a trail that you love so much.Working on your bike doesn’t have to be grey, we know a colourful like the BLB Rainbow Allen Key toolset will always make us smile. Shroom Astro light set comes with a pair of battery per light that will last up to 40 hours on the flashing mode.

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.I can’t say anything negative about this - it’s a piece of engineering I wish had been made a lot earlier. The backside of its angle can be adjusted by choosing at which point it attaches to the top of the wishbone. With winter nearly behind me and the ensuing spring shoulder season ahead, having a readily-available mudguard to turn to feels like a win, mostly.

It has been designed to prevent your rear end from getting wet while minimising the faff and rattle that comes with a full mudguard. The design features innovative tire-hugging deflectors that can be adjusted so virtually no mud will pass. A new feature with the Win Wing 2 is the included transparent frame protection stickers, making sure your paint stay pristine even when you are roughing it. So it fits great, isn’t big and ugly (in my opinion) is easy to mount on wet days and remove on dry rides but does it actually work? Recognizing that their ideal product should excel at its purpose then go hide out in your garage as soon as the weather shifts is fundamental in the Win Wing design: it’s remarkably stable while riding, very light, protects riders from the embarrassing spray streak, and is a cinch to take on and off the bike.

The secret to transforming a flat piece of plastic into a functioning mudguard lies in the pre-folding prior to use. It’s worth adding that each strap has seven holes and is long enough to accommodate thin steel stays or thicker carbon and aluminum designs.
