$10.00 | | Strengths: | keeps headset clean, stays on, doesnt flap around. | | Weaknesses: | too small, looks like I stole it off a kids bike | | Similar Products Used: | topeak something | | Bike Setup: | muddyfox,hope headset+brakes, raceface bars, stem, cranks + seatpost, xt gears, wtb tyres, z1 drop off. | | Bottom Line: | not a bad piece of kit, its well made, good styling, easy to fit. Its just too short at the back, I bolted a 4 inch piece of plastic onto mine (courtesty of a black plantpot)which helps keep the trail out of my teeth, pity marzocchi couldnt have saved me the trouble. As for durability, I havent landed on it yet, but these things are usually designed to break in a crash so you dont impale yourself on them,or so I read somewhere. If the marzocchi R&D guys are reading this, for 2005 make it a bit bigger. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$50.00 | | Purchased At: | lbs | | Strengths: | -easy installation
-sleek looks
-lightweight | | Weaknesses: | -weak
-expensive | | Bike Setup: | stock DeVinci Kingpin | | Bottom Line: | A very attractive fender that unfortunately is overpriced and weak. The fender broke right off the back part, in a very minor crash.
An awful lot of money for a simple plastic moulded piece.
I really liked this fender, and was OK with spending the $$$ for it. Now that it is broken I am very dissapointed.
I would not reccomend this product. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$30.00 | | Purchased At: | local shop | | Strengths: | Looks killer and is very quiet. SUPER easy to install! | | Weaknesses: | First crash and fender busted into pieces, now I only have the front part :( Kinda expensive for 3 weeks of use! | | Similar Products Used: | APEX fender, THE fender | | Bike Setup: | Who really cares? | | Bottom Line: | This fender is super easy to install and functions very well. Is very quiet and doesnt chatter during bumps. Every other fender I used would either fall out during hight speed, bump infested trail, or would make a stupid sound every time I did a drop (tire rub). Fender is not indestructable however as the first time I crashed with it, it broke into two pieces. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$37.00 | | Purchased At: | Rocky Cycle in Surrey | | Strengths: | Take note that the above price is $37 US Dollars; I paid $50 Canadian Dollars.
- It looks awesome. You can get it in several colors (I chose black) and they all look sweet.
- Quality mounting design. This fender is crafted to fit specifically on 32mm forks. It mounts with two screws instead of one head tube screw. That means it wont spin around or bob around while your riding.
- Durable Plastic. I haven't had time to really test this part yet but you can tell it will bend quite far before it warps. That’s if it can be warped. | | Weaknesses: | To expensive! I realize that it is custom made for these forks but $55 Canadian (inc tax) is too much to be paying for a front fender. Then again they probably have the price so high because it's the only fender that looks and mounts as good as it does. | | Similar Products Used: | None. | | Bike Setup: | Stock 2004 Devinci Hucker. | | Bottom Line: | Great fender for your 32mm fork. You can match the color to your bike and probably never have to buy another front fender again. If you don't mind spending the extra cash I highly recommend it. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
