Product Information
Full details
The RRP Fatguard Mud Guard is an essential accessory for fat bike enthusiasts looking to maintain clear visibility and protect their equipment during off-road excursions. It is designed to deflect mud, debris, and water spray effectively, keeping the rider's vision sharp even in adverse weather conditions. While it offers superior protection for both the rider and the bike's suspension components, riders should note that it requires specific mounting points on the fork to ensure a secure fit for larger fat bike tires.

FAQs
Is the Fatguard compatible with all fat bike forks?
It is designed for most suspension forks. It may not fit rigid forks lacking a bridge or specific mounting geometry.
Do I need any special tools to install it?
No tools are required beyond a pair of side cutters to trim the excess length of the included zip ties.
Can I remove the guard frequently?
While possible, the zip ties are intended for semi-permanent installation. If you remove it often, you will need to keep a supply of spare zip ties.
Will this guard work with standard mountain bike tires?
It is specifically shaped for fat bike tires; while it might fit standard MTBs, an RRP guard designed for standard tires would be more effective.
Does it protect the frame?
The guard primarily protects the rider's face and the suspension seals, though it does offer some minor protection to the lower headset area.
Troubleshooting
Guard rattling or shifting during rides
Check that the zip ties are pulled tight against the bridge. If they have stretched, replace them with new heavy-duty ties.
Guard rubbing against tire
Adjust the position of the guard higher up on the fork bridge or ensure the guard is centered correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: clean the fork bridge to ensure a good grip, align the guard so that it sits centrally over the front tire, and secure it using the provided zip ties. Ensure the zip ties are tightened firmly to prevent movement over rough terrain. For compatibility, the Fatguard is designed for suspension forks commonly found on fat bikes; check that your fork bridge provides adequate clearance before mounting. For care, simply rinse the guard with water after each ride. If mud has hardened, use a soft brush or a cloth with mild soap. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on the guard to prevent accidental displacement of the zip ties.
