Zéfal launches the new Deflector FM40, the universal front mudguard for MTB and e-MTB

The French company Zéfal expands its range with the new Deflector FM40, a universal front mudguard designed to offer protection against mud and water without altering the aesthetics or performance of the bicycle.

New Zéfal Deflector FM40: the universal front mudguard for MTB and e-MTB

Made of high-strength technical plastic, the FM40 is suitable for both MTB and eMTB, and stands out for its simple and universal mounting thanks to the included rubber adjustments. Its design integrates perfectly with the fork and frame, maintaining a clean and discreet look.

The Deflector FM40 is a robust mudguard, not minimalist at all, developed to offer maximum protection. Its side flaps protect the fork tubes and seals from mud and dirt, extending their lifespan.
It is especially designed for wide tires up to 3.0" (76 mm) and 27.5", 28" or 29" wheels, making it ideal for cyclists looking for a stable and robust mudguard for technical or long-distance routes.
