# Mudguard-Moulded Bicycles This Innovative Bicycle Features Mudguards Moulded Into the Frame By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-02-17 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-stebles-bicycle References: [gofundme](https://www.gofundme.com/steblesbikes) & [steblesbikes](http://www.steblesbikes.com/shop/) The Stebles Bike is a highly innovative bicycle, conceived and created by UK-based product designer Mark Stebles, that is unique in that it features a set of front and back mudguards that are molded into the bike's frame. What's unique about this innovative bicycle is that the fenders aren't merely hooked up to a tube frame, but instead replace the front fork and the classic rear triangle. Stebles points out that this design "separates the rider from the terrain surface and anything that may fly off the tyres, while also helping to keep the drive train running freely in all conditions". Ultimately, this innovative bicycle will appeal to cyclists who find themselves riding in the rain regularly, and want a smart solution to prevent their bike fenders from rubbing and rattling. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Moulded Mudguard Bicycles:** Manufacturing bicycles with molded-in mudguards as a structural component, creating a streamlined solution for all-weather riding. - **Integrated Bike Parts:** Incorporating bike components such as mudguards into the frame design, reducing weight and improving function. - **Weather-proof Bikes:** Developing bikes designed for riding in wet weather conditions, using innovative solutions to ensure optimal performance and rider comfort. ### Who This Affects Most - **Bicycle Manufacturing:** Incorporating moulded-in bike components like mudguards into the manufacturing process to create bikes with improved design and functionality. - **Sporting Goods Retail:** Retailing weather-proof bikes and accessories to appeal to consumers who regularly ride in wet conditions. - **Outdoor Adventure Tourism:** Marketing weather-resistant bikes to tourists who enjoy cycling and are drawn to adventure activities in areas with frequently inclement weather. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plastic-Forward Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rcyl-bike.md) - [Unconventional E-Bike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pendler.md) - [Consummately Customizable Commuter Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-commuter-bike.md) - [Wheel-Wedging Folding Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheel-wedging-folding-bicycle.md) - [Tread-Wheel Geometric Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-q.md) - [Compact Foldable City Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-cycle.md) - [Futuristic Single-Wheel Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-infinity-bike.md) - [Recycled Plastic Waste Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/igusbike.md) - [Adaptable Foldable Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buzzy-bike.md)
