When Fox released the newest 36 & introduced the 38, Fox made a fender that bolted on and looked super good. We were stoked to see such a well thought out fender and we think everyone else was too since it has been a very hard product to keep in stock. But the Original Mud Guard Fender is short and sweet, great for most rocks and some light mud or water, but when you want to get into the slop, when it’s been raining for days, you kind of need a bit more fender. So now Fox has released the XL Fender for the 36 & 38.
First I noticed a larger fender on the World Cup DH circuit, and then a bit on the EWS circuit. Now we can all buy it!
With the same mounting spots as the original Fox Mud Guard, you can be sure the fit is perfect and will not scratch up your fork with zip ties. The new XL Mud Guard now has 85% more coverage by extending the fender both forwards and rearwards and following the line of the tire a bit better. For all you wet weather riders with a new Fox 36 or 38 fork, this is now your choice of the fender.
Q & A provided by Fox:
How did you increase coverage by 85%?
By extending the mud guard forward under the fork arch as well as adding length to the rear, we have a huge amount of coverage in a small, unobtrusive package. Adding material around the arch also increases protection for the area surrounding your fork seals and Stanchions.
Are the mounting points secure?
With 2 bolt-on mounting points at the arch, and by utilizing the lower leg bleed valves as supporting mounting points, the new XL Mud Guard follows the same proven mounting as our original.
What’s maximum tire clearance?
Max tire clearance 29x2.5/27.5x2.7
What forks does this new mud guard fit?
The XL Mud Guard fits model year 2021 and newer FOX 36 and 38 forks.
