I used to be pleasantly stunned closing 12 months with how efficient Ass-Savers’ newest Win Wing fender stored street and gravel spray at bay, and now gen 2 is even higher. Upgraded with a more difficult plastic mounting bracket, new body coverage, and a extra visually-pleasing black wishbone with non-compulsory stealth graphics. The adjustments are refined. Sufficient in an effort to omit them – out of doors of the brand new black colour. However model 2.0 is essentially higher. And it’s nice to look this type of easy, inexpensive & practical small product be regularly subtle…
Ass Savers Win Wing 2 advanced strap-on fender
A easy wishbone looped over your tire and strapped to the seatstays, the Win Wing fender stops dust and water proper on the supply. Ass Savers name it “tangential protection”. The Win Wing stops spray on the tire, prior to it’s thrown in opposition to your… ass. And I kinda adore it, from street to gravel, even to protective the dropper publish seals on my XC motorcycles.
It used to be a large bounce from the unique Ass-Savers that merely clipped onto your saddle. However oh, how a lot more efficient those new fenders are!
So, what’s in fact new?
From a technical point of view, the brand new (black) Win Wing 2 is incrementally more potent than the unique (grey) due to a revised reinforcement design. The brand new structural rib extends a bit of additional up the leg of the wishbone clear of the foot the place it straps round your remains.
It additionally strikes the left-side slot clear of the brink. So you’ll nonetheless safe the fender to your motorcycle with a zip-tie, however with decreased likelihood of failure at a susceptible level there.
The highest of the loop may be a bit of thicker and the cutout on the central pin that adjusts the fender attitude is smaller and extra strengthened. Successfully with the same quantity (weight) of subject matter, the brand new Ass-Savers Win Wing 2 is extra proof against breaking when it’s on or off the motorcycle.
Take into account, simply because Ass Savers calls it a wishbone, you shouldn’t pull each ends aside and make a want. Except your want is to damage a superbly practical fender. It’s difficult, however no longer indestructible.
Every other tiny replace, Ass-Savers now ships the Win Wing 2 with two little transparent polyurethane frame-saver stickers. Fearful about scuffing your body, stick those across the seatstays prior to strapping at the fender.
Finally, it’s black.
The authentic had a grey wishbone and all approach of colourful fender blades. Now the brand new Ass-Savers Win Wing 2 will get a extra refined-looking black wishbone & rubber ft/straps. And along with colourful blades, you’ll additionally go for the gloss black on matte black restricted Stealth version like I’ve on my Festka One Gravel aka Rover prototype right here – for those who act speedy.
My Gravel Stealth model weighed 73g (with out body saver stickers) a whopping 1g greater than my first technology fender. 😉
