The stainless steel v-shaped stays make for easy fitting and the quick release Secu-clips are far safer than standard fixings, preventing front wheel lock up in case of a foreign object getting trapped between guard and wheel. The mudguards have no sharp edges and are amazingly flexible. The production process involves the encapsulation of fine aluminium foil within a matrix of high performance plastic. This process provides high resistance to corrosion and resulting in a high degree of flexibility.
