After last week, when we got everyone all fired up about the different External Hub Guards that will all be available soon, our good friend Nuno at Mutant Bikes figured it would be good to drop us a line and explain the new Peguard that will be available at the end of this month worldwide and the External Hub Guard that will be available this summer! These both have been years in development and they’re finally ready. Get the full details below!

“We have been developed this Peguard and External Guard with our crew since 2009, always with the intent of creating a hubguard serving in all frames and forks maintaining the strength they need.
On the right, you can see the Peguard that will be available worldwide end of this month and on the left is the External Guard that will be available in June/July this year.

It was a really nice challenge developing the Peguard so far, but they are finally done and tested.
