Released last fall, the Win Wing is the newest rear mudguard product from the Swedish company, Ass Savers. After test riding this deceptively simple design through the slush of winter in Colorado, Hailey Moore shares a review of this ultra-light temporary fender solution.
Our Radar Roundup compiles products and videos from the ‘net in an easy-to-digest format. Read on below for today’s findings…
Ass Savers’ latest products celebrate detours on rides, both planned and happenstance, with the new Detour Kollection. The design features mountain layers and mud splatter and is available on the Fendor Bendor big, Mudder mini front, and a Purist bottle. Or you can buy the whole kit as a pack. The products are in stock now at Ass Savers.
The plague of all-road bikes with no provisions of fenders affects us all, luckily, with clamp-on partial fenders like the Mudder Mini by Ass-Savers, your headset bearings are protected from those early spring time rides through damp roads. These universal fit partial fenders clamp on directly to the fork blades of your favorite bike, protect your face from spray and weigh next to nothing. See more information on the Mudder Mini at Ass-Savers.
Not every bike has provisions for a fender, but that doesn’t mean your mates need to be sprayed in the face. The newly designed Fendor Bendor has a width big enough to cover a 32-55mm tire, is only 61 grams, and will last for many rainy rides to come. See more at Ass-Savers.
Ass Savers innovated the rear fender market with their flexible fenders and now, they’re looking to party up front too with the Speed Mullet fender. These fenders keep your feet mostly dry on wet roads, will fit on most bikes, is cable routing friendly, mounts in seconds and suited for 23-42mm tires. These are available for order now at Ass Savers, for a late March shipping.
Ass Savers’ mini, foldable fenders are meant to give your kit a barrier from mud or road grime in a pinch. Now, their popular design includes a “Flip Tip”, allowing the fender to lock into the saddle rails for a more accurate hold. Check out more at Ass Savers!

Ass Savers is known for their minimalist fenders that pack down and save your rear end from rain and road debris. Small and simple design to save the day, right? Yet their two new models do more… After recently adopting the rights to the Fendor Bendor, Ass Savers now manufactures a longer rear fender, along with a new MTB Mudder front shock fender.

I love using an Ass-Saver when it decides to rain in Texas and now, I’ll be using one of the new Extended versions on my road bike. The Ass-Savers Extended adds over an inch of length, which in terms of spray, is a large reduction. Even the Rapha Condor JLT team have adopted this platform.
In stock now at the Ass-Savers Extended site.
I hate fenders and as a Texan, that is ok. The rainy days to sunny days ratio is skewed. We’re in an extreme drought, so why would I put fenders on my Geekhouse Frontage Road Tourer? Pffft….
That said, I hate getting sprayed up the ‘crack with dirty water from the road when we do get a moist morning. Which is why I love the Ass Savers Brookshield.

As I’ve said before, Ass Savers makes a damn good fender and these special edition Red Hook Crit models are rad!
“For the 2014 Red Hook Crit season, Ass Savers and Red Hook Crit have out done themselves and created three brand new designs based on the newly released Ass Saver Original model. For each race in Brooklyn, Barcelona and Milan, a unique design will be released in a limited series. The designs have been created in collaboration with Red Hook Crit’s creative director Jonah Birns and are a tribute to the motorsports era of the 70s.”

We’ve had quite the rainy winter in Austin and rather than put fenders on my touring bike, I’ve been popping on an Ass Savers when I have to run errands. When I received a prototype of the new Ass Savers Original, I could really notice a difference in usability… now, which color should I get?
