The Mudder Mini offers minimal interference while protecting what is important. Not only is your headset and face protected but it will also do a very good job of keeping your handlebar bag clean and dry. The Detour edition of Mudder Mini has also been given an upgraded material thickness for sturdiness.
The Detour Kollection is a tribute to those who finds a roadblock as the mark of something great ahead, rather than a dead end.
Most bikepacking gear is not 100% waterproof and a good set of fenders can save you from the misery of having a wet sleeping bag or clothes at the end of the day. Even if your gear is fully waterproof, you will appreciate the lack of mud on your bags when you stop to get a jacket out or when you bring them into the tent after a rough day in the saddle. The full kit adds less than 85 grams to your total weight, making it ideal for ultralight bikepacking.
Visually the Detour Kollection is inspired by the mind-blowing scenery of the Torino-Nice Rally, a 700 km selfsustained gravel event in the French-Italian alps. During the 2018 edition, designer Jesper Jonsson and Ass Savers founder Staffan Widell shared a bivouac on the last night of the event, overlooking a spectacular sunset over the last mountain range before the finish in Nice.
Technical data
Measures: 90 x170 mm (effective)
Weight: 22 g
Material: 1.0 mm PP (Polypropylene)
Fit
The MUDDER Mini will fit all gravel/cx forks with clearance for tire widths between 32 mm up to 55 mm. It will not work on a road fork with narrow clearance or for fat bikes. The correct position is about 10 mm above the tire. Aligning the position to the tire and not the fork crown increases efficiency and is made possible by our custom hook and loop straps. Make sure that the mudguard doesn't touch your down tube when turning the handlebar.
Purpose
This mudguard is specifically designed to block dirt from being thrown forward and potentially impair your vision during high speed riding and the wellness of your lower headset bearings. It will not protect you from general spray coming from your front tire or your feet and lower legs.
Adjustable anti-slip 2-in-1 hook and loop straps
The specially designed straps have enough friction to prevent the mudguard from sliding down on a conic fork leg. However, it needs to be tighten firmly to stay up. The open ended design of the strap will allow you to adjust the length and thereby center the position of the ASS SAVERS logo on the fork leg. You can also inverse the strap if you prefer to have a no-logo appearance.
Pre-folding
The secret to transforming a flat piece of plastic into a functioning product lies in the pre-folding prior to use. All the scoring lines have been carefully engineered to achieve locking mechanisms, self centering abilities, spring loading and material endurance. Please take the time to properly read the instructions to ensure the best performance.

Paired with the matching Win Wing this fitted easily to the carbon fork on my Kona Rove LTD with 650b x 45mm tyres. Does a great job protecting the headset bearings and keeping a bit of crud from flicking up into the face.
Mini mudguard is the ticket. No more shit flying up and a nice clean lower headset. 5 stars
