Product Information

Full details

The Rapid Racer Products NeoGuard is an innovative, lightweight mudguard designed for mountain bikers who prioritize face and eye protection from trail debris without the bulk of a traditional fender. It is an ideal choice for riders across downhill and cross-country disciplines who need a portable, easy-to-install solution that maintains bike agility. While highly effective at deflecting spray, users should note that as a flexible, compression-based guard, it is optimized specifically for fork crown attachment and may not offer the same total coverage as rigid plastic alternatives.

FAQs

Will this guard scratch my fork?

No, the NeoGuard uses soft velcro straps that are designed to protect your suspension finish.

Can I use this on a hardtail mountain bike?

This specific model is sized for 160-200mm travel forks; it is intended for full-suspension downhill and enduro rigs.

How do I clean the NeoGuard?

Use mild soap and water with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or high-pressure power washers.

Does it come in different sizes?

Yes, there are large and extra-small versions available to suit different fork travel and wheel configurations.

Can I leave it on the bike permanently?

Yes, it is durable enough for regular use, though removing it for cleaning after exceptionally muddy rides is recommended.

What should I do if the velcro loses its stickiness?

Clean the hooks with a stiff brush to remove lint and debris, which usually restores the locking strength.

Troubleshooting

Mudguard vibrating against the tire

Ensure the velcro straps are pulled tight and the guard is centered correctly on the fork brace.

Guard shifting during rough descents

Clean the fork brace with isopropyl alcohol to remove any residual grease or wax that might be preventing a secure velcro grip.

Straps not holding securely

Remove any mud, sand, or trail debris trapped in the velcro hooks using a small brush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight compared to rigid plastic mudguards
  • No tools required for setup or removal
  • Will not scratch or damage suspension fork lowers
  • Highly portable for mid-ride storage
  • Provides essential protection for goggles and glasses

Cons

  • Less durable than hard-shell plastic guards
  • May require occasional readjustment after heavy impacts
  • Limited to specific travel ranges (160-200mm)
  • Provides less rear-end or frame protection than full-length fenders

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward: ensure your fork brace is clean, align the guard with the underside of the fork crown, and secure the integrated velcro straps tightly. Avoid over-tightening to the point where it restricts fork movement, but ensure it is snug enough to prevent vibration.

This specific model is designed for 160-200mm travel forks, making it ideal for Enduro and Downhill rigs. For maintenance, simply remove the guard after a muddy ride and hose it off with low-pressure water. Allow it to air dry completely before storing it in your bag to prevent material degradation. Periodically check the velcro straps for debris and replace them if the grip begins to weaken.
