Product Details

Add Icon

The DRY-TECH Fender Set is an engineered fender set with extended, research-based length for superior water protection. The fenders are made of a lightweight, yet highly durable, multi-material design, while the set has also been engineered in our very own Win Tunnel in order to see how water comes off the tire at speed. This serves to improve protection and to minimize water spray.

The fenders are available in three different sizes (35, 42, and 52mm), and they're designed to work on bikes with 700C wheels—with or without Specialized Plug + Play frame mounting. For a finishing touch, the fenders include heat-treated, lightweight aluminum fender stays with stainless steel hardware.

  • Engineered fender set with extended, research-based length for superior water protection.

  • Lightweight, yet highly durable multi-material design.

  • Engineered in our Win Tunnel to improve protection and minimize water spray.

  • Designed to work on bikes with 700C wheels, with or without Specialized Plug + Play frame mounting.

  • Heat-treated, lightweight aluminum fender stays with stainless steel hardware.

  • Fender sizes refer to the maximum tire width compatible with the fender (42mm = max. 42mm wide tires).

  • Profile width of the 35mm set: approx. 40 mm

  • Profile width of the 42mm set: approx. 51 mm

  • Profile width of the 52mm set: approx. 58 mm

garde boue dry tech fender set 35C

garde de boue très léger, qui s'adapte parfaitement sur mon Créo SL E5. La mise en place n'est pas évidente , car il faut régler l'écartement par rapport à l'ensemble du pneu. je suis monté en hiver , en pneu de 32. je vais essayer cette année de monter du 38 pathfinder. il enrobe parfaitement le pneu et si vous trouvez qu'il est trop long, vous pouvez démonter l'extension qui se trouve en bout de garde boue.

Bom custo benefício

Paguei cento e poucos reais, valeu a pena. Pelo valor cheio, não sei se compensa. Instalei em uma Caloi 10 antiga com pneu 700x32 e funcionou. Fiz algumas adaptações nos pontos de fixação e ficou bom.

Excelente paralamas

Cumpre o que promete. Por ser mais prolongado do que o normal, pega 99% do spray d'água. a pojnta da minha calça e calçados chegam limpos no meu trabalho. A maior parte em metal, exceto as pontas traseiras que são de plástico muito bom. No inverno eu as deixo e as tiro qd as chuvas passam. Fácil instalação, ajuste e adaptação pois eu mesmo quem fiz e foi super tranquilo.

Great fender set!

Installed the 42mm on a Sirrus 3.0. Rear installed very easily using existing holes on the frame. Front was a very tight fit to provide as much clearance to the tire to prevent it from rubbing and was mounted using the plug and play adapters.

Yes!

Excellent fenders

I mounted these on a Diverge size 58 with 32mm tires. These are excellent and look magnificient on my grey bike! I installed them myself with little fuss (I had to pierce a hole for the top attachment) and stay put very well using the mounting holes in the frame (you may need to buy the disappearing screws) and have transformed by commutes: now I enjoy riding in the rain more than before. The attachment of the stay to the fender is a little piece of plastic that cn break easily if you overstep the pedals: it would be good if the mounting HW included at least one spare for the breakabe parts. I had bought other fenders from another brand that did not fit well and did not look so nice. Glad I found these: I would have never thought a bike with fenders would look "sexy" but mine now does!! :-D

Only for Road Bikes

The design is not good and the construction is flimsy. I had these professionally installed too. The slim parts that hold onto the bike require perfect precision. Everything is held together by tension and a tiny PLASTIC piece on either side of the tire. The extremely low desin in the back makes it very difficult to navigate any terrain that isn't perfectly straight, perfectly paved roads. Hit a small patch of dirt or gravel, fenders caught. Picking up the bikes over curbs, the fenders got caught. Carry upstairs, fenders caught. Had some construction on the road and had to bike up those temporary ramps they build, fenders caught. They caught so often eventually I modified the parts to hang less low to the ground, and even then they broke in less than a year and now rub my tires terribly.

Instructions were a bit vague. An improvement would be how to install on Specialized models not just generic instructions. Rear fender has small clearance toward the front but a large clearance at the back on a large Cirrius x 2.0.

Functional with modifications

When I ordered the fenders, I was told that these fenders were made to fit my Specialized Diverge. But, I had to make several several cuts and bends to the fenders to make them fit and I then I had to engineer additional custom brackets to secure them in place. This is work I my local authorized Specialized dealer is not capable of providing. To my knowledge Specialized does not make a fender or mud guard compatible with the Diverge. These were my only option so I made them work.

DO NOT BUY

Bought these because they are what are recommended by Specialized for my bike model (Sirrus X 3.0). They barely fit and were incredibly difficult to install. The design makes it very challenging to install on the rear wheel properly so that the tire does not touch the fender. DO NOT BUY.

Well made fenders, but not exactly "plug and play" on my Vado 4.0 SL

After unsuccessful attempts to connect with Specialized support, I went ahead and purchased the 42mm fenders for my Vado 4.0 SL. The Vado SL comes with 700x38s. The instructions are not great - good pictures but poorly written. Which screws/adapters to use are depend on your bike. I had to drill a hole in the rear fender to attach it to the seat stay (bottom hole). It worked, but drilling in the correct place is tricky as the fender has to be "compressed" to meet the seat stay, but is uncompressed when drilling. Fender alignment is tricky, as the front may not be centered over the tire, when the back is. I removed the flexible plastic extensions on each fender. The extensions are ~ 9 inches, and while they make the fenders more effective, they still have good coverage without them. This saves a bit of weight and I the fenders look sleeker. Overall, if you have a Vado SL, I recommend the dry tech option if you just want to add fenders.

Quality, clean design (fragile)

Keeps me dry as name describes. Even though deep puddles. ____ Most fragile part is the plastic bracket for fender stays. Breaking with rough bumps. (Zipties fix -or- call specialized directly for FREE parts kit) ***only lasts me a few months*** plastic plates snaps within 2k miles I would prefer alloy pieces _____ Setup is straight forward for rear wheel. (At most, when using plug-play = bending stay rods for cleanest setup) Front fender takes unique engineering. On sirrus bike left rod catches on brake caliper. (Must bend awkwardly) or (use plug-play adapter with standard brace = offsetting attach point dropping, "locking" the QR. wheel removal must fully remove skewer) _____ for rear fender I drilled out bridge rivet mounting/screwing to bike. Then snapped fender onto same bridge bracket. (Screw adds a gap = but fender remains stronger and more customizable)

Did not fit without modification

These were supposed to be "plug and play" fenders for my Sirrus X Comp Carbon, but they were not. I couldn't get them to fit. The local bike shop was able to barely fit them by modifying them (notching out the front fender to get it to sit up in the fork). It was such a tight fit even then I had to drop down a tire size. They're also incredibly long, the bottom rubber bit hits on a lot of stuff, I haven't had them in a rainy situation yet but I'd guess they will have excellent coverage. I'd rate them pretty good if they were truly plug and play, as it is, they're just OK.

Difficult to install, fragile

Fenders were a huge pain to install, ultimately requiring me to use zip ties to keep them in place without rattling. One of the brackets ended up wearing a deep gash in the paint where an edge rubbed against the frame, and the clamps holding the supports to the fender broke. Worst part is that now I have to go through the painful installation process AGAIN to remove them. Absolutely would not buy these again.

Sirrus / Crossroads

2006-2007 Sirrus: 35mm fender fit on 32mm tires. Mounting hole is vertical, had to drill. Marveled at the build quality and scratch resistance of the fender. Fork crown lock nut is not compatible, substituted with lock nut from Specialized Pizza Rack. 2020-2021 Crossroads: 52mm fender does not fit on 45mm tires. Vertical clearance is 6mm between the mounting holes and the tires without the fenders. A minimum clearance of 6mm is recommended including the fenders. You will need get smaller tires and smaller fenders if you are committed to this installation. Rear mounting hole is also vertical. Conclusion: Would be nice if Specialized made purpose built fenders for specific bike models rather than claim a universal “Plug + Play” standard where compatibility is based on random chance. These are a nice side project for people with a lot of tools and a lot of time. For everyone else, a raincoat is easier.
