Performance & Tips
-
Weight Management: Lightweight fenders save ~50% of the standard fender weight, letting you place more mass where it matters — usually low and rearward for optimal speed.
-
Friction Control: Upgrade axle polish and wheel-bore prep for maximum spin times.
-
Aerodynamics: Both fender styles streamline airflow around the wheels, reducing turbulence.
