Team Tested: Mudguards Enduroguard & Mudhugger Review

Great plastic mould As Summer tips its hat and starts its brief journey off to the other side of the world, over here in the UK we start to say goodbye to the light nights and dusty dry trails.

Testrider Vinzenz works as a guide of an alpine crossing company and has crossed the alps with his bike for the seventh time so far. Whether there is sunshine, mud or snow, the propain is not treated softly. So far the bike has managed 70.000 m in altitude in only two months.
