Due to the incredibly confusing fender applications for BikeE AT and CT models through the years, we've developed this handy table to help you (and us) sort through the confusion. Contrary to popular belief, there are NO fenders available for the RoadE Models. Find your bike below, start at the top and work your way down. If you have any questions, please give us a call toll free at 1-800-233-4340, and we'll be happy to help.

BikeE CT Models (pre-2001)
Does your CT have EXTRUDED Seat Rails? Does your CT have BOLT-ON Seat Rails?
Does it have a Unicrown Fork? Does it have an Investment Cast Fork Crown? Are the fork dropouts in line with the fork blades? Are the fork dropouts offset from the fork blades?
You need CT 2.0 Fenders You need '96-'98 CT Fenders You need '93 CT Fenders You need '94-'95 CT Fenders

BikeE AT Models (pre-2001)
Does your AT have an INVESTMENT CAST fork crown? Does your AT have a UNICROWN fork?
You need '98 AT Fenders You need AT 3.0 Fenders

2001 BikeE AT & CT Models
You need the AT 3.0 Fenders

* TECH NOTE: A unicrown fork incorporates the fork leg and the fork crown into one unit. Conversely, an investment cast fork will be constructed with the fork crown and fork legs as three different pieces. The investment cast fork can be identified by a "squared off" bend at the top of the fork legs - as if the fork legs were inserted into the fork crown (similar to traditional road or touring forks on upright bikes). The unicrown fork appears as though the fork legs were bent and welded directly to the fork's steerer tube (see images below).
