Choice is as good a point to them as anything - they do what they're supposed to, they're smaller, cheaper, and look slightly easier and quicker to fit then Speedrockers - and some folk might just like the look of them. The Stealth design comes loaded with darkness, a true Lo-Wiz product for all up-to-no-good cyclists out there trying to keep a low profile.

The Win Wing Road sets a new standard for cycling comfort, providing a seamless blend of protection, convenience, and lightweight design. Ass Savers recommends that you “aim for 5-10 mm tire clearance” for the Tangential Coverage to work properly.There’s routinely at least one bit of chunky doubletrack or a stretch of singletrack thrown in to keep things interesting—stuff that’s not fender-friendly. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

By shielding only the upper rear quarter of the wheel, the Win Wing eliminates spray from reaching the critical areas of the rider with a minimum of material. Thanks to it's sophisticated simplicity and careful choice of materials, the Win-Wing is virtually indestructible. Offering the same protection at great value and a slightly lighter color scale (grey), it's still a great option for rear wheel spray. Drawing inspiration from the concept of Tangential Coverage, the Win Wing Road acts as a shield, effectively catching the spray and safeguarding your critical areas such as thighs, butt, and back. The Win Wing takes about half a minute to take off from one bike and attach to another - and while swapping it around I’ve noticed it’s also not scratched my seat stays (I would still recommend attaching a piece of frame protection tape as a precaution).

Further ‘thought of everything’ details include the slots on each side of the fastening that enable a zip tie to be closed over, to deter an opportunist theft.

The ends of the Wishbone legs are slightly curved, to seat better against the seat stays and directly above each is a slot that the strap intuitively feeds through. Boulder, and Colorado more broadly, is heralded as getting 300 days of sunshine a year (there’s a reason I have chosen to live here) and, even in the summer “monsoon” season, the routine afternoon showers are short-lived, and (of late) less substantial all around. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. If you've got a bike that just won't take mudguards, or you want a guard that you can pop on your best bike for the occasional damp solo ride, the Win Wing is for you. Of course, I don’t blame Ass Savers for this but while there may have once been a “great future in plastics” I hope it quickly becomes a material relegated to the past.

As an additional plus, the Win Wing stopped the spray from hitting my seatpost, meaning that my rear light stayed dry and visible.
