About Flexi Fender
Built by riders who actually drop their bikes
Flexi Fender was born in the woods, not in a boardroom. Andrew is a retired firefighter and DR-Z addict who started designing parts after realizing most tail tidy kits can't survive the way we actually ride: dropping bikes, log hopping, and learning as we go.
Our story
How Flexi Fender started
For years I rode a built '02 DR-Z400 and beat on it constantly. When Suzuki dropped the new DR-Z4S, I jumped on it and immediately started riding 6 to 7 hours a week in the trails, dropping it almost daily, smashing into logs, and finding every weak point on the bike.
One of the first parts to tap out was the rear end. Most tail tidy and fender eliminator kits were either overpriced, brittle, or looked like an afterthought. I wanted something that kept a factory-clean look but could handle real dual sport abuse.
So I fired up CAD, designed my own flexible tail tidy in an industrial grade flexible polymer, and started torture-testing it. When I could stomp on it, try to rip it in half, and hang my 190 lb body from the tail without failure, I knew I was onto something worth sharing with other riders.
What we stand for
Bend instead of break
Flexi Fender exists to solve one simple problem: build tail tidy kits and protection parts that bend instead of break.
01
Real-world durability
Designed on bikes that see dirt every week, not just photo studios.
02
Factory-friendly installs
OEM hardware and mounting points wherever possible, with no cutting into your stock wiring.
03
Clean, OEM-plus styling
Tidy, minimal designs that look like they belong on the bike from the factory.
04
Rider-driven design
If a part doesn't survive how we ride, it doesn't ship.
Where we're headed
More bikes, tougher parts
The DR-Z4S kit was just the start. Flexi Fender now makes kits for the Suzuki DR-Z4S, DR-Z400 and DR650, Honda CRF300L, KTM 390 and Yamaha TW200, and it's being built as a platform for dual sport and ADV bikes that actually see dirt. We're working toward:
- Fitment for more dual sport and ADV models
- Even tougher components
- More protection and convenience parts for real world riding
If you have a bike you'd love to see a Flexi Fender kit for, let me know. I design everything in-house, and rider feedback drives the roadmap.
