Sneak Peek: Shadow Conspiracy – Plastic Hub Guards
The Shadow Conspiracy dropped this sneak peek of their new plastic hub guards for their front and rear Raptor hub and the brand new BT hub. These are prototypes and they aren’t 100% for sure going into production, but I’m sure we’ll be hearing more in the future.
Insight: Animal PYN Hub Guard
A few weeks back, Animal had released their new PYN hub guard to the public. Over the last few years, a number of hub guards have become available from pretty much every brand with versions being as simple as slipping it on your axle, to ones that fit your drive side, all the way to ones that work completely off compression and remove your hardware completely. Animal took a slightly different route with their guard and took what they knew and liked and created something that definitely gets the job done properly. I recently picked one of these PYN guards up to give a go and decided it would be a good idea to give you guys a closer look at what makes this one stand out. I also stepped it up a bit more and got a Q&A going with Animal’s pro team rider, Mike Brennan and product designers Frank Lam and Jay about the process it took to create the guard. I don’t think you could get any more detail going on this one, so check it!

Product: Odyssey Vandero 2 Hub Guard
Happen to be looking for a hub guard for that Odyssey Vandero 2 hub you are running? Well, you are in luck since they just dropped their new hub guard specific to that hub. Here’s a few words from them about it…
“This fine example of protective awesome-ness is our new Vandero 2 hub guard. It’s made from forged 7075-T6 aluminum, which allows it to be strong, light and affordable. This guard replaces the existing axle collar on our Vandero 2 hubs and protects the hub and spokes. Nice and simple.” – Odyssey
