The fender model from SimWorks by HONJO, with the tortoiseshell pattern, is called “Turtle.” The manufacturing process is kept secret, but it appears that rather than being molded into a single piece by machine, skilled craftsmen hammer the pattern in one by one. The hexagonal patterns that line up like a tortoiseshell not only create a mesmerizing geometric pattern, but also increase the strength of the material, giving the bike it’s strong presence.

A new 26-inch model has been added to the 63mm wide Turtle 63 model.

In recent years, MTB wheels have become larger in diameter for better off-road performance, but the traditional 26-inch wheel is still the most popular size worldwide and still offers reliable performance for daily use. Old MTBs and ATBs can also be maintained and customized to be enjoyed as pleasurable bikes to revive and enjoy for many years. SimWorks has continued to release 26-inch products for riders with pragmatic intentions and creativity.

The 26-inch Turtle 63 is compatible with tires up to 50mm wide. This fits the 1.95-inch (approximately 50mm) tires that were once widely used on mountain bikes, and for city riding with lots of stop-and-go traffic, this width is easier to start pedaling and more practical than many of today’s exceedingly wide footprints.

The appearance of a bicycle with beautifully fitted fenders is a special sight. The turtle fenders, with their timeless tortoiseshell pattern created by the craftsmen at Honjo Koken, will encourage you to pause and admire the work that has gone in to their construction.
