“Across the rain-soaked roads of Girona that set the stage for one of Europe’s largest annual gravel gatherings, riders pushed their bodies and bikes to the limits in conditions that tested even the toughest off-road pros. There’s no doubt that the 2024 Traka was a true sufferfest. Yet amongst these mud-covered competitors, there was a notably cleaner, more comfortable crew—those riding with this year’s Most Valuable Part: The Win Wing by Ass Savers.” – Ass-Savers
“A minimalist mudguard designed and produced in Sweden, the Win Wing first launched in 2022 as an easy way to stop road and trail spray from soaking riders and ruining rides. Lightweight, simple, and effective, the Win Wing has since gained popularity amongst more performance-minded cyclists and those who know that, whether training, exploring, or racing, discomfort can be a big disadvantage—especially when it comes to covering long distances and spending countless hours in the saddle. Which is why the Win Wing is an increa-singly frequent sighting at many of cycling’s biggest adventure races, from the Flint Hills of Kansas to the Pine Curtain of East Texas—Indonesia to Iceland, Scotland to Japan.”
“Installing in just seconds and weighing in at 64g for Road and 72g for Gravel, the Win Wing doesn’t rattle or jam like traditional fenders. Yet despite its small stature, the Win Wing still gives a big boost to comfort via the principle of “tangential coverage”—effectively stopping mud and water at the point where it leaves a spin-ning wheel before it can reach a rider’s backside. Currently in its second iteration, the Win Wing 2 is available in two sizes, Road for tires up to 35mm and Gravel for up to 60mm, and in a variety of colors and styles.”
