Ass Savers launches minimalist Win Wing rear fender
The mount-free design sits closer to the tire to give more protection from wheel spray
Ass Savers have built a business around simple plastic mudguards that fit to your saddle rails to keep the worst of the wheel spray off your butt. Often copied, the Ass Savers name has become synonymous with such products and of late the brand has been branching out, creating more mount-free mudguard designs for the front, as well as bigger guards for more coverage.
Ass Savers’ latest mudguard is a significant departure from their other products. Their new rear mudguard, dubbed the Win Wing, features strap-on legs so that the minimalist design can target the exact point that spray leaves the wheel.
The Win Wing comes in gravel and road versions covering tire sizes between 19mm to 60mm wide and is able to be fitted to all bikes due to its seat stay strap fixtures, which are universal and tool-free.
The wing itself is positioned close to the tire, around 5mm to 10mm, and due to its proximity, will catch considerably more spray than a guard that is mounted further away. Ass Savers offers a range of different designs for the guard, too.
The Road version, which is designed for 23-35mm wide tires, weighs 64g, while the Gravel version for 35-60mm tires comes in at 72g.
The Win Wing will be available from all Ass Savers dealers and the Ass Savers website for €25.
