Anyone with even an ounce of motorcycle experience will know just how much of a pain it can be to clean the build-up that can collect in and around the main components and thankfully, Puig are on hand with the ideal products to combat that exact issue.

Enter Puig’s collection of mudguards. Consisting of front fender extenders, huggers and bell pans, Puig mudguards will leave you wondering where they have been all your life and it is likely their addition will mean you cannot go back to having a motorcycle without at least some of them.

With that said, you may still be unsure of what exactly form of mudguard does and that is precisely what I am here to answer.

Why Motorcycle Front Fender Extenders are a Must in Winter

First up is Puig’s front fender extender, a form of mudguard that would not go amiss on any motorcycle, offering protection, convenience and even aesthetics.

Fitting above the front tyre, the front fender extender builds on the little protection offered by your existing front mudguard to deflect any water, tar and mud you may encounter, and let’s face it you will, and prevent build-up in and around your engine, exhaust and metal work. Better yet, not only do the fender extenders bear the brunt of the water, dirt and debris cocktail, they are also much easier to clean than the otherwise exposed components of your motorbike.

While your eyes might have already lit up at the prospect of these incentives, the benefits of the Puig front fender extend do not end there. The sleek black finish provides a modern look that will not compromise the aesthetics of your motorcycle and installation is a breeze with the fender extender attaching to the existing front mudguard for a quick and straightforward fit.

Are Motorcycle Huggers Worth It?

If you have a motorcycle with a standard rear mudguard or even no mudguard at all, you will know just what I am talking about when I mention build-up. So, right off the bat, it would be fair to give motorcycle huggers a huge thumbs up.

Puig offer a range of huggers to protect your shock absorber.

Made from a combination of ABS and metal, Puig huggers provide increased protection from water, tar and mud to prevent a build-up in and around the shock absorber and as that is the component that controls the suspension of your motorbike, it goes without saying that you will want to prolong its life expectancy. These Huggers take the form of an entire mudguard if your motorcycle does not already have one or in the instance that you do have one, Puig also offer hugger extenders.

There is no doubt protection is the focal point of huggers and if you were to decide to purchase one, Puig have also accounted for aesthetics to ensure the appearance of your motorbike remains intact with the choice of a black or carbon hugger allowing for an extra degree of personalisation.

What is the Purpose of Motorcycle Belly Pans?

Now, with front and rear mudguards answered for you may be wondering about the middle of your motorcycle and Puig are on hand once again, this time with their belly pans.

Puig belly pans are manufactured using either aluminium or ABS material which allows them to provide a resistant, light and durable protection for the underside of your motorbike, preventing tar and dirt from collecting in your lower engine area. Not only that, the addition of a belly pan will save you a great deal of time and effort when it comes to cleaning those notoriously hard to reach areas. Another benefit of Puig belly pans is the fact that they are subject to Puig’s innovative wind tunnel testing, achieving an increase in aerodynamics and stability.

In line with Puig’s mudguard range, not only do the belly pans offer protection and convenience, but they also look the part. Available in both black and carbon, these belly pans can boast a clean, sporty look to ensure your motorcycle does not lose any of its striking character.

Now that the benefits of Puig’s range of mudguards have been accounted for, are they really needed on your motorcycle?

While they are not completely necessary and some riders do not feel the need to install mudguards, there is no doubt that they are a welcomed addition to any motorbike. With their increased protection from water, tar and dirt and their advantage of being easy to clean, Puig mudguards will help to prolong the life of your motorcycle’s components, an expense that will prove cost-effective in the long run.
