Customer Reviews

functional and stylish
I am very pleased with the design, weight and functionality of this and the rear fender of the same branding. I've hit the trails and roads with these on and it keeps both the rain and mud off your clothes while allowing a wide range of adjustment angles to accommodate different frames, tire sizes, etc. That and they are easy to remove for cleaning and storage. I highly recommend these products and am sold on the Topeak brand in general - good stuff.

Topeak DeFender M1 (front) fender
I got this and the M2 (rear) fender to keep mud and water off me on rainy days for my commute.

The installation is a piece of cake -- just plug the diagonally-split cylinder into your fork, and tighten the Allen head bolt to compress it. The front and back parts literally snap right on. The soft tips are nice for when you bump into stuff; helps keep 'em from snapping.

Although I think these are great-quality, I *did* encounter an issue with the M1. It broke at the mount on the first day I had it. The customer service at Topeak is awesome though, and I got a replacement part in 2 days! I've been using the new one for several weeks now, and no problems!

flimsy little thing
It was a good idea in theory- fits most forks, easy to take on and off- but in practice, this fender is basically just a flimsy piece of plastic. It snapped off the first time I tried to take it off of my bike (which was the day after I put it on). Although I like Topeak products, I would be hesitant to recommend this particular fender.
