What is the advantage to the race cut front fenders?

 

save a little wieght and so they get more muddy

 

so you can see where your tires are in realation ship to rocks and tough tererian, but if your gonna be gettin into mud or ridin through a pasture with cows keep full fenders[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

All of the above...plus on muddy tracks, the mud doesn't pack up on the front fenders and weigh the front of the quad down. Mud weight+long race=arm pump and rider fatigue...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] OOHH...and another reason...I noticed that when I was racing MX, if I hit a head-wind coming off a table-top..stock fenders act like parachutes and lift the front end...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

cause it looks cool
less wind resistance at 80mph

 

Roger that!

 

u can see ur front tires and get hit in the face with rocks

 

So you can roost yourself...... I put mine back on after the guy who had it before me chopped my stock ones. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] Practical reasons are supposed to be wind(mx), and less weight from mud build-up, like others have said. I don't race mx, and don't care about mud build up on the fenders. Better the fenders than mud build up on me. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Easier to line up the front wheels around or over an obstacle, Much less wind resistance jumping and going over 65mph, saves weight, IMO looks better, If needed, easier to work on quad without taking plastic off.

 

i find it easier to spot last minute passing lines, and my landing off jumps, i have noticed wind resistance, and mud build up, but i have never roosted myself.
