Product Information

Pull the top straps to stretch the Neoguard, don't worry about stretching the eyelets as it's re-enforced eyelets are designed to stretch, once fitted it should be taught. The stretch reduces the gathering of the guard when the fork compresses. Finally, YOU MUST CUT OFF THE EXCESS HOOK AND LOOP STRAPS AFTER FITTING Unmatched protection from mud andspray. The RRP ProGuard Front Mudguard is the perfect guard for enduroor downhill racers and essential forweekend warriors seeking the very bestprotection while they ride their Mountain bike. ProGuard maximises tyre clearance and reduces mud cloggingunlike other mudguards of this style. Like most of the formed guards, the Pro Guard has a three-point fixing via the brace and fork lowers. There are 24 crown holes for zip-ties allowing to accommodate a wide range of brace sizes and shapes (although not reverse arch) and it also gets a fork brace indent to increase tyre clearance. It’s compatible with 26, 27.5 and 29inch forks and RRP claims, tyres up to three inch in diameter. The Pro Guard also features seal protection, which simply means the side of the guard is a little bit wider and lower to stop dirt and crud contaminating the seal area, and ultimately ending up inside the lowers. The ProGuard is our amazing new range of FRONT and REAR mudguards for disc brake mountain bikes offering unmatched protection from mud and spray, it’s perfect for Trail, Enduro or Downhill racers and essential for the weekend warrior looking for the very best protection. Our design intent was to increase the tyre clearance, improve fit, and reduce the mud clogging issues seen with this type of mudguard. The MINI offers a very compact design for all year round protection, The STANDARD offers superb protection in a shorter more compact design, whereas the longer MAX PROTECTION version (21mm longer at front than the STANDARD and 68mm longer at the rear) offers incredible unmatched levels of protection. Available in 3 sizes Front Mini: Any other chemicals other than what is listed above should not be used on the ProGuard mudguards as it will likely remove the gloss finish. PROGUARD FEATURES INCLUDE:

The 'T' shape clamping points on the arms are designed to wrap around the fork leg providing a better and neater fit. The front of the mudguard is designed to offer increased protection for higher speeds without spoiling the look of the mudguard. The wider curve with flat rear end offers maximum protection and frame clearance compared to a simple symmetrical curve SIZING FRONT SUSPENSION: 80mm - 125mm - STANDARD FRONT SUSPENSION: 130mm - 200mm - LARGE REAR MUDGUARD Rapid Racer launch new mudguard. Rapid Racer Products has launched a new mudguard that’s lightweight, which doubles up as an advertising banner for any company / brand or race team. The neoprene guard sheds clingy mud with compression of the suspension, thus staying light due to very little dirt retention. Bike Biz The ProGuard BOLT ON will fit most fork models listed below if they have the *THREADED HOLES at the rear of the fork brace (DISK BRAKE ONLY): WHEELS: 26” 27.5” 29” TYRES: up to a 3” tyre BRAKE / OFFSET: MINIMUM 44mm HUB: STD & BOOST FORKS: This mudguard design is perfectly suited for the rigours of modern mountain biking.

Once happy you must tighten the cable ties with fat pliers as tight as possible (remember cable ties don’t’ scratch forks….loose cable ties do!)

Foldable or preformed?

Important - If you have a brace between the seatstays - you must attach at least one cable tie to it if you don't have a brace between the seatstays - you must use 3 cable ties on each arm cable ties are provided with each mudguard, the holes on the side arms are mandatory requiring 4 leaving the other 2 for the fork brace (although more could be added if desired) As a result of achieving the above properties it means that the surface layer is soft and will scratch easily, you must also be careful about putting any chemicals onto the surface as it may tarnish the finish. That said we have tested and can recommend the following chemicals to use:

The holes for the fork brace aren't ideally located when using it as a rear mudguard, so we built in two snap-off holes to allow you to rotate the guard forward and attach it to the brace between the rear stays, this feature creates more mud / tyre clearance and a much better fit. COMPATIBILITY WHEELS: 26” 27.5” 29” TYRES: up to a 3” tyre BRAKE / OFFSET: MINIMUM 44mm HUB: STD & BOOST FORKS: Choose either the STANDARD or LARGE size depending on what rear protection you want to achieve (STANDARD would be the default size recommendation) MINI & STANDARD COMPATIBILITY WHEELS: 26” 27.5” 29” TYRES: up to a 3” tyre BRAKE / OFFSET: MINIMUM 44mm HUB: STD & BOOST FORKS: Slide the guard into position WITH THE WHEEL IN PLACE, you may need to squeeze the sides of the guard as you do so to get it through the sear stays

What material are mudguards made out of?

Then feed cable ties through teh sames holes from the rear to the front (you must use min 5 cable ties to ensure the guard is secure) The ENDUROGUARD is designed as a FRONT or REAR mudguard and has been specifically adapted to do both jobs extremely well ADDITIONAL FEATURES

This direct-mount mudguard is designed for the forks listed below that have the THREADED HOLES in the rear of the fork brace: The ENDUROGUARD v4 is fully BOOST compatible and now also includes snap-off holes for reverse arch forks like DVO / Manitou long 24g (without cable ties) MAIN DISTRIBUTORS UK EXTRA UK FRANCE TRIBE SPORT GROUP NORWAY DELER AS REST OF EU NOW COMPANY USA AND CANADA RECIPROCATORS Slots and holes for easy installation with cable ties (included) or Velcro straps (sold separately) The ProGuard from RRP is a rigid polypropylene guard that comes in two sizes – standard and maximum. The standard is pretty big and offers plenty of protection, but the Max is 21mm longer at the front and 68mm longer at the rear so really ups the ante. It has a three-point fixing via the brace and fork lowers. There are 24 crown holes for zip-ties allowing it to accommodate a wide range of brace sizes and shapes and it’s compatible with 26in, 27.5in and 29in forks and (RRP claims) tyres up to three inches in diameter. The extended side mouldings also help protect the fork seals. To fit the Pro Guard, you do have to punch out some tiny holes, which is okay but there is a bit of trial and error getting it set to the correct angle. The Max size can also move a bit when riding hard and when sending it off a drop there was often a hard crunch as some part of the guard bottomed out on the fork/tyre. That said, if you want to ride 60mph through a peat bog and stay dry, this is the guard we’d recommend – dirt doesn’t get in your eyes, on your clothes, no matter how wet it is or how fast you’re going. Easily the best guard on test.The ProGuard - BOLT ON is our direct mount front mountainbike mudguard designed for big spray and mud protection (DISC BRAKE ONLY)
