Product Information
Full details
The Topeak Defender XC1/XC11 Mudguard Set is an ideal solution for 26-inch mountain bike riders seeking lightweight, moto-inspired protection from trail debris and mud. This system provides superior coverage by attaching directly to suspension lowers for the front and utilizing an adjustable clamp for the rear, though users should note it is specifically optimized for 26-inch wheels rather than modern 29-inch or 27.5-inch standards.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I use these on a 27.5-inch bike?
No, this specific model is optimized strictly for 26-inch wheels.
Does it work with rigid forks?
The XC1 front fender is designed specifically to mount to suspension fork lowers and will not fit standard rigid forks.
What is the maximum tire width supported?
This set is designed for tires up to 2.6 inches in width.
Are tools required for installation?
The rear fender is tool-free, though a hex key may be needed for initial pivot point adjustments.
How do I clean the fenders?
A gentle rinse with water and a soft sponge is sufficient due to the highly polished underside.
Troubleshooting
Rear fender sags or moves while riding
Tighten the adjustment bolts on the pivot points using a hex key to ensure they are locked in position.
Front fender touches the tire
Re-adjust the position on the suspension lowers to ensure even spacing, or check that the tire pressure is correct.
Clamp slips on the seat post
Ensure you are using the correct rubber shim provided with the kit to match your specific seat post diameter.
Pros and Cons

- Easy tool-free installation and removal for the rear fender

- Front fender requires suspension forks to mount properly
- Maximum tire width support capped at 2.6 inches
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup begins by verifying your tire diameter is 26 inches and width does not exceed 2.6 inches. To install the front XC1, snap the two-piece assembly onto your suspension lowers, ensuring the quick-release straps are secure. For the rear XC11, open the seat post clamp, select the appropriate shim if necessary to fit seat posts ranging from 25.4mm to 34.9mm, and tighten the quick-release lever until firm. For care, simply rinse the fenders with water after a ride. Because of the polished underside, most mud will slide off easily. Avoid using harsh solvents, as they may degrade the high-impact plastic over time.
