Full suspension bike with mudguards
Full suspension bike with mudguards
Am I the only one to think that a decent bike is a bike with full suspension equipped with mudguards?
I was not able to find a full-suspension non-electric trekking/MTB bike with mudguards.
Does anyone know of a full-suspension non-electric trekking/MTB bike with mudguards for under 2000€ or should I open a new bike company myself to design and manufacture one? Hundreds upon hundreds of bycicle models, but all fall short of what is ideal.
Thanks!
Here some e-MTB I could find, but they are overpriced:

Not everyone rides in muddy conditions. Like racks, seats, handlebars etc. Just add your own. Mine does a quick clip on the seatpost. I put some plastic on the downtube and got something that goes on the fork crown. Not that hard to make some in coorplast ( looks like plastic cardboard)

Mud guards are an aftermarket item for mountain bikes. Not everyone wants to have them, many people just ride in fair weather and in the mud they can cake up. For my commuting MTB here in CA, I only run them Dec-April. I have a Mucky Nutz full face on the front of mine and a Mudhugger on the rear. There's a front Mudhugger too. I don't recall if it was available back when I bought mine, I feel like I would have gotten it if I'd known about it. Mudhugger may or may not work on a FS depending on your rear triangle. I saw one mounted on a Ripmo, and the chain stays were too straight and the fender stuck up in the air, but if the chain stays are more upright so they resemble a hard tail, it's fine. Since then they have a new rear version that goes ahead of the chain stays - looks much like the front one but with slightly different angles. Looks like it would protect the bb but not your butt.

These are for mud spatter, they are NOT going to protect you from road spray like full fenders on a road bike, which are designed to dump water downward onto the ground and really cannot deal with mud.

Like Darth Lefty said, these are aftermarket accessories.
If you are looking to leave it on all the time, try Mudhuggers for a rock solid rear option. I've got one on the back of my rigid fatbike and it is the first rear fender that stays in place and has not broken off after a season of off-road use.
On my FS bike, if it is muddy enough to need fenders, I'm probably not going to ride it.

Riding in mud wrecks the components of the bike (shortens the useful life) and wrecks the trails. Majority of mountain bikers with a full suspension bike ride in dry conditions.
