A mudguard will protect your bike as well as you from dirt from the roads, your tyres and your bike. Your clothes will be cleaner and drier (allowing you to maintain body temperature) and your bike will be less mucky.
Dirt and mud from the streets and roads can be very abrasive and can damage certain delicate parts of your bike. Having a guard will protect the shock absorber and fork from dirt, but also any stones thrown up from the road.

When choosing a mudguard, it is important to take into account the following points:
- Your discipline. Mountain bike mudguards are larger than those for road and city bikes.
- Mounting system. If you want to be able to remove the mudguard quickly or not, or if your frame has fixing points (in particular the hybrid bike with its fixing points above the wheel’s braking points, on the frame).
- Protection you need. Our different ranges offer various lengths and widths to meet the level of protection you’re looking for. Our minimalist mudguards are discrete on your bike.

Most of our mudguards are universal. They can be mounted on any bicycle through attach on the seat post or the frame. Only PARAGON requires threaded mounting pads.
We suggest that you use the Swan R / Croozer R mudguard sets. It is easy and quick to fit without any tools using the MD Quick and MD Turn systems.
Yes, of course. It is fully possible to have a Raider Front pannier rack with a Classic or Shield R30 mudguard.
If you want to use a Paragon mudguard, your frame must be compatible. The Paragon needs to be attached to threaded holes so if you already have a pannier rack, you will need two sets of holes on each side of the frame. This is often the case for road or city bikes but less so for more sporty bikes (race bikes or touring bikes).
