FEND OFF Mudguards with full wrap coverage and two anodised colourways. This WIDE version will be at home on our Tripster ATR, Tripster AT, G2 and Range e-bike.
When you live in the UK, you gain an appreciation for a good set of mudguards.
The beautiful British weather that we experience can be ever changing and trying to keep dry and warm means mudguards become an all-round essential item to fit to your bike.
The Fend Off mudguards should fit most current Kinesis bikes, however some manipulation of stays and brackets requiring workshop tools may be needed. In extreme cases, further modification may be required. As such, we always recommend that Fend Off guards are fitted by a qualified, experienced, cycle mechanic.
Whether you ride on your own or in a group, mudguards make rides in wet and muddy weather conditions a pleasure rather than a pain.
Not only do the Kinesis FEND OFF mudguards keep you dry and clean, but they prevent surface water and debris from collecting and clogging up the mechanics of your bike and weighing you down.
They help keep your bike cleaner, so you’ll spend less time cleaning and servicing your bike.

Cycling Plus - Issue 376, March
“Their full length is complemented by large flaps front and rear that extend to within a couple of centimetres of the road. I came away astonished by just how clean I remained.”

Superb set of guards, they fit my GF ti v2 perfectly. You do need a bit of mechanical skill to fit them, but no more than others of a similar design.
The rigidity of the smart aluminium formed fenders gives superb rattle free operation. They have extra clearance compared to other makes which is ideal for the more muddy, gritty back roads or wider tyres.
Lovely touch to have the trailing flaps as part of the packaging. By far the best guards I have used. They look very classy in anodized silver.
There are some negative comments out there about difficulties in fitting, bit unfair really. If you can't fit them then get someone who can. A great set of guards (version 2)

No more of a faff to fit than some others but a more solid, rattle free finish. Top Marks kinesis.
The 40mm profile is a great choice as it fits most road frames better than 45mm used by others and I love the packaging mudflaps :)
The only issue I found was limited clearance for Di2 band on front mechs.
I needed to put a "joggle" in the rear guard edge to clear. A minor issue on a great product.
• Fend Off WIDE mudguards are 50mm wide and will accommodate up to 45mm tyre, depending on the clearance of your frameset.
• Our tyre width recommendation is purely for water spray protection. Any tyre wider than our recommendation may still fit however it is likely to throw water out of the sides of the mudguard as the tyre nears the width of the Fend Off guard. We suggest 45c for the Fend Off WIDE to be the maximum tyre width to provide adequate protection from water spray.
• WEIGHT: Wide 707g including hardware.
• Please read the Installation Manual PDF before purchasing to ensure that you have the suitable fittings on your bike to mount these mudguards.
• Please be aware, even on our Kinesis frames, the mudguards and/or stays will need adaptations to fit.
The Kinesis Fend Off WIDE is recommended for the following Kinesis framesets:
Kinesis Tripster AT
Kinesis Tripster ATR v2 and v3
Kinesis Range eBike
Kinesis Range Flat Bar eBike
Kinesis G2
