Does anyone know of a mudguard that fits the RXF? It has not got a great deal of clearance under the fork brace. Is there a mudguard that can be screwed into the 3 screw holes on the brace? Ohlins have nothing on their site....

.. is a question i'd like an answer for as well. I'm currently using a RRP Pro Guard, but a neater solution would be nice.

Crud Catcher XL doesnt go up to the brace, so loads of clearance, plus you can slide it up and down to adjust the clearance.

Just run ours with a normal plastic bendy one. Works well in all conditions with a 2.6 tyre.

We asked the Ohlins about when one was due out at the end of last season but I think they had other things on their mind at that time.

Weirdly I asked Spesh this week and they also confirmed that Ohlins are working on it, and that was as much as they knew

Not for an Ohlins but I cut a slot in my mudhugger to get more clearance under the brace for a 2.5 on a Yari. Will post a picture later

No rattles, that was a wet day at Bringewood, very little mud made its way onto my face!

The small fender things are fine in the summer for keeping dust away from the seals, absolutely no use at all in the winter slop.

I did have a look at doing something similar to a rockguardz mount, using the three holes on the back of the brace.

Never had a problem with any of the small ones in any kind of slop. We have run through out this winter two identical Turbo Levos on the same rides just for a bit of our own research . One with the small guard fitted and one without. Im glad mine had the one fitted. You would be surprised at how much winter slop they do stop.

here's a mudhugger mod

this helped on a Yari because the brace is slightly triangular and nearer the tyre at the rear so the slot allows the guard to sit at the same height as the brace rather than below it.
