Cycling Weekly Verdict

Ass Saver's Fendor Bendor Big rear mudguard aims to give you an easy fitting guard with a whole chunk of protection for the rear of you and your gravel bike. It's incredibly lightweight, remarkably stable and - as long as your bike is compatible - extremely easy to fit and remove. But this comes at the cost of splatter-withholding effectiveness and you'll certainly need to do washing of bike and kit when you get home.

Back in 2011 Ass Saver launched its first ever product. The eponymous and self-descriptive guard is discrete, lightweight and provides just enough protection to keep the worst of the road spray from the back of your bum.

Over 10 years later Ass Saver’s product range still contains tiny guards, including the Mudder Mini front guard, but also much bigger ones too for those who prefer a whole lot more coverage.
