MAGAZINE REVIEWS

Dirt - (Feb 08 Issue Page 104)
"It fits in under a minute and it'll do far more justice to your posh rig than that manky old bit of inner tube"

MBUK - (Feb 08 Issue Page 88)
"The NeoGuard is a neoprene panel with velcro fastenings top and bottom to pull it taught, a neat alternative to a bodged inner tube" MBUK performance rating 10 out of 10

mbr - (Feb 08 Issue Page 65)
"It stops spray from hitting you in the face which is a godsend when your racing. The best bit is when the fork compresses, it scrunches up the guard and loosens the mud. It's also lightweight and can go in the wash, a new an innovative take on mud protection" mbr rating 9 out of 10

RRP's NeoGuard - Product of the year?
"How does it fit? dead easy it took me about 30 seconds, it took longer to get out of the packet. 5 hoop and loop straps hold it tight to the lower crown and the fork brace on the sliders... then ride, get it dirty and then chuck it in the washing machine with the rest of your kit. Genius!!"

Bike Biz - (30th Nov)
Rapid Racer launch new mudguard
"Rapid Racer Products has launched a new mudguard that’s lightweight, which doubles up as an advertising banner for any company / brand or race team. The neoprene guard sheds clingy mud with compression of the suspension, thus staying light due to very little dirt retention."

Gravity-Slaves - (4th Dec)
The NeoGuard works perfectly
"The rapid racing crew run a tight ship on the race circuit and saw the need for a professional product to replace the pikey tube fix. Fitting takes a few seconds, we checked everyones goggles after a recent spray-ridden run at Cwmcarn and the unsurprising result is the NeoGuard fender' is a success, keeping goggles mostly splatter free as intended. It's a very well executed solution, looks the part, and is a carefully developed product."

Transcend Magazine Canada - (27th Dec)
"This ingenious piece of neoprene is soft, light and flexible and always in your toolbox. As a small bonus, it has plenty of room for sponsor logos for those head on photos where they are usually not visible.

Fitting Instructions

1) Step 1 - Wrap the 2 velcro straps at the top of the NeoGuard™ over and then under the lower crown and pull back through the eyelets in the guard, don't attach them just yet, this will help keep the guard clear whilst you attach the bottom straps.

2) Step 2 - Wrap the 3 velcro straps around the fork brace at the bottom starting with the middle one, always ensure you do them up nice and tight.

3) Step 3 - Pull the top straps to stretch the Neoguard™ a little, this will reduce the gathering of the guard when the fork compresses, once again secure using the velcro as shown. Finally cut off any excess velcro that's not required leaving enough to cover the eyelet from the rear where possible. Centralise and then push the guard inwards which will encourage it to fold inwards which is more efficient.

Some riders leave the NeoGuard™ on between rides, although it's advisable to take off to periodically clean the fork. The NeoGuard™ is also designed so that you can add zip ties to the straps if you have an unusual shaped fork and require additional support.

Hand wash or occasionally machine wash at 40 degree's to keep it looking pristine. When storing roll up the Neoguard™, never fold as this will crease the neoprene.

Use the Sizing Guide below to ensure you get the right size of NeoGuard.

(Doesn't fit upside down/reverse arch forks, always ensure there is enough tyre clearance)
