Sturdy and very easy to fit.
Wide range of adjustment make them very easy to fit perfectly. Also only take seconds to remove or re-install. The rear guard could do with being longer on the front edge (It just goes up to the brake calliper) to protect the gears/chain a bit more.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Excellent clip-on fenders
I am really impressed by the SKS Raceblade Pro XL. I have tried a number of clip-on style fenders in the past but these are by far the best. The only thing I would change is having something on the front of the front wheel to prevent the spray flicking up off the tyre. Apart from that they are great and would buy them again. Recommended.

Flexible, easy fitting
I bought these to go on a carbon road bike. They were easy to fit (about 15 mins) and look good too. They are easy to remove when it's dry or for cleaning. They are easily adjustable so I think they would fit a wide range of bike where traditional mudguard fittings aren't available.

Quality product and a great match for my Canodale bike!

Very stylish on my black Cannodale
A bit of a fiddle to fit the front guards on my Caadx, had to cut down the struts (stainless) so as to avoid a cable fixing lug. But other than that all ok.

Best Mudguard on market
These are fantastic mudguards. I spend along time hunting for the right pair that would fix to my 28mm winter bike. Even better that it takes under a minute to take them off if these a prolonged break in the rain. Highly recommended.

Easy to fit with lots of adjustment available
Always struggled in the past with mudguards for bikes without the frame fixtures, but these go on no problem, and can be adjusted so no annoying rubbing on wet gritty tyres

perfect for my race bike!
lightweight, can be easily installed and removed, good for using in rainy weather, then easily removing for sunny weather or for racing light.

Do the job perfectly. Great if you don’t have the attachments for mudguards.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Almost as good as fixed guards...
These are a bit of a faff to set up initially, but once adjusted are excellent. Of course they don't quite offer the protection of fully fitted longboards, but they still do the job very well and I can now run 28mm's through winter and remove in a minute when its dry. Plus the matte black makes you look cooler, which in turn makes you go faster.

Simplicity
After spending “hours” previously fitting various other mud guards the simplicity of fitting these was a joy.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Great removeable mudguards!
These took me about 10 minutes to fit then maybe another 20 minutes to adjust to the perfect position. Been out a few times and there is no rattle or rub, easy to take off and put back on after cleaning. 10/10 for me.

Very easy to fit and secure.

These are good value easy to fit mudguards that do the job
These mudguards are quick and easy to fit and remove with minimal adjustment required, unlike a lot of other mudguards. They can be removed in under a minute for days when it’s dry and they’re not required. Good value for money if you shop around for the best deal.

Arrived quickly and easy to fit to frame. No more soggy backside and far less muck after winter rides. 1 star off as too much plastic packing in huge box, could use cardboard or eco packing pellets

Adjustable, easy to take off and on
I've had "removable" mudguards before, but they weren't really. These though, so easy to remove! Super easy to adjust, then when you want to take them off, you undo 2 straps and that's it. 10 seconds and you're done!
Pros & Cons

Easy to use and very sturdy
These are great. Can be fitted to pretty much any road bike in minutes. Once on they fit tightly and don't rattle around at all.

Top mudguards for the road bike!
Initial fitting/adjustment takes a little time, but after that you (de)assemble them in no time. The matt version is hardly noticeable. They don't weigh much and protect adequately. Do not rattle. Only the seat tube and bottom bracket still get dirty.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Does perfectly what it is supposed to do.
It took some puzzling to adjust and assemble it properly. After one-time adjustment, it is easy to (dis)assemble. Amazing how well it keeps the water and dirt away. No more wet backs and feet in these wet times of year. Mounted on Trek Emonda SL6 with 28 mm tyres.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Best year-round cycling investment I've made.
Because the mudguards can be adjusted at various points, you can actually mount them tightly around your wheels at all times, which means less loss of aerodynamics and optimal protection against splashing water and dirt. Front mudguard is of great added value, saves a lot of dirt in your steering head and on your legs and feet.

A purchase you think, if only I had bought them earlier!
A fellow cyclist had these on his bike and after some explanation I was convinced. Last weekend I cycled 70 km in the rain and I am super satisfied with them. They do their job super, I hardly have to clean the bike as a large part is absorbed by the mudguards.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Top purchase if you want to keep cycling even in wet weather
Mounting it is a bit of work, but not difficult and afterwards it is easy to dismantle and quickly put it back on again next year. After a ride on wet roads, the bike is still clean and dry and the chain a lot less dirty. A must for anyone who wants to cycle through autumn/winter. It does look less beautiful, but beautiful cyclists only ride their bikes in the sun ;)

Pros & Cons

superblades for the winter months.
I bought them because you have a lot of splashing water and sand in winter, especially along the coast. Now that's not a bad thing, but now my back stays dry and my frame reasonably clean. Everyone knows that sand, is disastrous for the vital parts of your bike, and with these racing blades you keep that to a minimum. I am super satisfied. Better than an asesaver
Pros & Cons

Easy to install and probably fits almost every bike due to its system. Once on your bike, it does its job perfectly.

Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Good quality, rattle-free, adjustment is reasonable
Front end went on easily. Due to the bent rear fork, the bars are just too short. As a result, I had to take off a small piece near the brake. It does sit firmly and doesn't rattle and you don't get a mark on your back/ass. An option for longer rods (if the hardware stores were loose I could see if welding rods have the same but) would be nice.

Pros & Cons

Effective
You'll need to be a bit patient when fitting them, but apart from that, they're super-efficient and don't stand out in terms of looks. They don't move a muscle as you drive down the road. I highly recommend them.

I would highly recommend these if you need mudguards and your bike doesnt have mudguard mounts.
This is my second set and as I really liked the 1st ones on my other bike. Purchased the matt black and they look great on my road bike. Nice and light for mudguards, extremely adjustable and endorsed by my club for winter club rides. Once on and adjusted to shape and size, they are so easy to remove and put back on if required.

Good product, robust, lots of settings.
Quite long to adjust the first time, but it's also an advantage because it's long to adjust because you can adapt them just right. For my information, I use them on a Giant TCR 2021, and they fit just under the down tube.

Fine mudguards, holds back water well. Solid material.
Pros & Cons

Price/quality definitely recommended
This set of mudguards is a bestseller for a reason. For the price, you get solid material that is quite easy to install. And I do indeed keep it much drier when cycling! I just wonder if it is qualitative enough to last long with quasi daily use.

Quick to attach, simple and works great.
Was fast to set up on my bike. Theres no fixings to the bike itself which was much easier. They keep a low profile and stay In their position. I took them out in the pouring rain and they didn't move at all - i even went up/down curbs which can shift others out of position. You can clip them on and off with ease. Most important they keep you dry and send any water/dirt away from the rider.

Great Mudguards - Clean Butt
Having put off buying mudguards for a couple of season I decided this year that this winter I will not look like I have been caught short on the rear! I bought my son and I the XL version as we ride Spesh Diverges with 30mm rubber and they cover the tyre perfectly. They take a bit of adjusting to get the position right (I still need to tweak them a bit more I think) and the do move a bit (the bracket isn't the same radius as my seatstays) but they kept me dry on a 152km ride that had a lot of standing water. As there is no front bit on the front guard, I did notice a bit of spray when going fast downhill as the water that would flick forward when going slow., goes up and then onto you when going fast. Maybe I shouldn't go fast in the wet. They come with sticky vinyl frame protectors and I put a bit of electrical tape where the rubber wraps the frame too. Delivery was rapid. Recommended.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Fiddly But Worth It
Great mudguards once fitted. My biggest issue was that the instruction booklet didn't say that the rubber U shaped section which goes over the mudguard itself can be slid up and down to assist with positioning. Once I worked that out fitting was easy but still a bit fiddly. Quite a lot of movement in the guards once fitted so leave pleanty of space between the front of your rear guard and the brakes.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Good fit but rattle a litte
I bought these as my bike does not have any fixing holes on the forks. they fit well and appear to do a good job athough I do have a few rattles coming from them. They were very easy to fit and delivery from Mantel to the UK was rapid.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Great for keeping spray off you
Bought these as previous mudguards always appeared to catch on the wheels and were flimsy. These are fiddly for 1st fit and I had to trim the rear one. But once set they are easy to put on and remove and do the job well.

Nice fender set!
Fine fenders that do what they are supposed to do. Adjusting the front mudguard took quite a bit of time, as it soon hits the downtube of the frame. At least on my bike (Tarmac SL7) it just fit.

Solid fenders - worth the money
Solid fenders that are surprisingly sturdy despite its appearance. Keeps your legs and shoes dry reasonably well. The only thing I find a bit off about it is that the fender at your rear wheel is a bit short at the front. This can cause the back of your lower legs and shoes to get wet/dirty eventually.
