Nicolai S18 SWIFT Rear Mudguard

Description

Protecting the S18 SWIFT with Precision Fit

Shields main pivots and shock from debris impact. Preserves mechanical precision and extends bearing life in all conditions.

Maintain absolute focus on the trail with protection designed to match the agility of the S18 SWIFT. This dedicated Nicolai S18 SWIFT rear mudguard is the result of our official technology partnership. Instead of universal workarounds, we provide a precision bolt-tightened clamp solution that integrates directly with the swingarm’s industrial architecture, ensuring a stable, rattle-free experience during high-speed technical descents.

Select the Optimal Coverage for Your S18

Choose between three distinct lengths—Mini, Racing, or Universal—to find the perfect balance between trail protection and the lightweight nature of the S18 SWIFT frame.

Mini Size

Measuring 44 cm, the Mini is our most discreet option for riders prioritizing a clean silhouette. It focuses on the essentials: keeping grit and trail grime away from the lower linkage and motor housing. It is the definitive choice for those who want to maintain mechanical longevity without adding unnecessary bulk to their build.

Racing Size

The Racing edition features a 51.5 cm profile optimized for race-day efficiency. It strips away excess bulk while maintaining critical protection for your rear shock and upper linkage. This variant is designed for maximum agility on fast-paced tracks, keeping your suspension clean on high-velocity gravity runs.

Universal Size

Our Universal Nicolai rear fender is the perfect choice for year-round multi-condition performance. Measuring 61.5 cm in length, it provides a robust barrier for both the frame’s moving parts. It stands as a reliable barrier against trail spray, making it the perfect choice for long days in unpredictable alpine terrain.

Factory Precision Fit

Thanks to our close cooperation with NICOLAI, we were able to design a mudguard that fits the S18 SWIFT perfectly. It follows the lines of the rear triangle for a clean look and a smooth fit. You can be sure it stays silent and safe, even when the suspension is working at its limits during hard landings.

Rock-Solid 4-Point Clamp System

Unlike frames with factory holes, the S18 SWIFT requires a more sophisticated solution. Our mudguard features a unique two-part clamping system that wraps around the seat stay. It is secured at four strategic points with M4 stainless steel bolts, creating a rigid connection that stays perfectly aligned even on the roughest technical descents.

Genuine High Clearance Performance

The S18 SWIFT is built for performance in demanding conditions. Our product is custom-profiled to ensure the highest clearance of your fender based on what. By maintaining an optimal gap, this design ensures that even with inevitable mud build-up, your wheel retains the clearance it needs to spin freely.

Bottom-Out Safe Profile

Our specialized profile allows the mudguard to clear the seat tube perfectly during a full bottom-out. You get maximum protection without any risk of frame contact while maintaining zero friction and a clean, silent ride.

Available in Multiple Colors

Our mudguards don’t just come in classic black! You can choose from many other colors, such as graphite, grey, white, red, blue, yellow, green, and many more. Check out all available colors for NICOLAI S18 SWIFT!
