Product Information
Full details
The Mucky Nutz Face Fender XL is designed for mountain bikers of all levels who want to protect their vision and expensive fork components from trail debris. Weighing only 35g, this extended-length mudguard offers superior coverage against mud and gravel while maintaining a sleek, minimalist profile. While it provides excellent protection for your face and stanchions, it is primarily optimized for front-fork use and may require minor manual adjustment on certain proprietary frame designs to ensure optimal clearance.

Troubleshooting

Straps are slipping on the fork legs
Clean the fork legs with isopropyl alcohol to remove grease before reapplying the straps for better grip.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely lightweight at only 35 grams
- Effective protection for fork stanchions and seals
- Simple, tool-free installation using Velcro straps
- Wide compatibility across common wheel sizes and fork types
- Protects both the rider's vision and the bike's mechanical components
Cons
- Primary design is for front-end protection, limiting rear-use applications
- Coverage may vary depending on the specific geometry of the fork
- Requires periodic cleaning to prevent debris buildup behind the plastic
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward and requires no tools. Simply thread the provided Velcro straps through the pre-cut holes on the fender and fasten them securely around your fork bridge and legs.
- Compatibility: The fender works with almost all modern suspension forks, including those with forward-facing or double-bridge designs. It is compatible with 26-inch, 27.5-inch, and 29-inch wheels.
- Care: Periodically wipe the guard down with a damp cloth to remove built-up mud. If you prefer a more permanent installation, you can use heavy-duty zip-ties in place of the Velcro straps. To preserve your bike's finish, ensure there is no trapped grit underneath the Velcro points before final tightening.
