Full details

The Mudhugger FRX is a lightweight, versatile mudguard designed for mountain bikers seeking effective protection against mud and spray without added bulk. Its key benefit is excellent coverage for all wheel sizes, including plus bikes, with a minimal 80g weight. A potential caveat is the need for specific fork brace clearance to ensure proper fit.

FAQs

What is the maximum tire width the FRX can accommodate?

The Mudhugger FRX is designed to fit tires up to 3 inches wide, including on 'Boost' forks.

Can I use this mudguard on a 29er bike?

Yes, the FRX is compatible with 29-inch wheels.

How do I attach the mudguard?

It is supplied with zip-ties. You simply thread these through the pre-drilled holes in the mudguard and around your fork stanchions or brace, then tighten securely.

Is it difficult to install?

No, the FRX is designed for straightforward installation and typically takes only a few minutes to fit.

What is the weight of the Mudhugger FRX?

The mudguard weighs approximately 80g without fixings.

Can this be used as a rear mudguard?

Yes, it can be repurposed as a mini rear mudguard to protect the bottom bracket and bearings on full-suspension mountain bikes.

What material is it made from?

It is made from 100% recycled black polypropylene.

Troubleshooting

Mudguard rattles or is loose

Ensure zip-ties are tightened securely. Check that the mudguard is correctly positioned and not contacting the tire or fork crown when the suspension is compressed. Re-tighten zip-ties or consider adding an additional one if needed.

Mudguard interferes with tire

Verify sufficient clearance between the mudguard and tire. If the tire is too close or rubs, the mudguard may not be compatible with your fork/tire combination, or it may need to be repositioned slightly higher if your fork allows.

Difficulty fitting zip-ties

Ensure you are using the provided zip-ties or similar strong, UV-resistant ties. Thread them through the designated holes and pull firmly. If holes are tight, a small pick or awl can help guide the tie through.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Provides excellent mud and spray protection for its size and weight.
Extremely lightweight, making it ideal for weight-conscious riders.
Versatile use as both a front or mini rear mudguard.
Compatible with a wide range of modern wheel and tire sizes.
Made from durable, eco-friendly recycled materials.
Simple and quick to install.

Cons

Requires sufficient clearance between the fork brace and tire for proper fit.
Zip-tie attachment may not be as secure as bolt-on methods for some users.
Limited coverage compared to full-length rear mudguards.
The mini rear application offers only partial protection for the BB area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The FRX is designed for easy installation. It typically comes with four zip-ties. Ensure your fork has adequate clearance: a general rule is that if you can comfortably fit your index finger between the fork brace and the top of your tire, there is enough space. Align the mudguard with the fork legs and secure it using the provided zip-ties, ensuring it's snug but not overly tight to avoid damaging the fork. For the optional MAX extender, the pre-formed holes can be easily pierced with a small screwdriver (4mm diameter or less).

Compatibility: This mudguard is compatible with 26", 27.5", 27.5"+ and 29" wheels. It fits tires up to 3 inches wide, including those on 'Boost' forks. It can also be adapted as a mini rear mudguard on most full-suspension mountain bikes.

Care: Clean the mudguard with water and a mild soap if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the material. Regularly check the zip-tie fastenings to ensure they remain secure.
