I just got a new Kona Unit X bike, and I'm trying to figure out which fenders to get for it. I will be doing a mixture of bikepacking/gravel and light mountain biking.
I've been looking at the SKS X-Blade fender set, and was wondering if anyone has experience with these fenders, and know if they fit properly on the Unit X?
I'm also open to other suggestions for other fenders if you've got better suggestions. Thanks!

I’m using the rear fender on my Karate Monkey, and it works great.

This is it mounted around the seat tube, instead of the seat post, which makes for a cleaner look, and doesn’t interfere with seat adjustment. It’s really sturdy.
Years ago, on a different bike, I used the front fender, but due to the way it was mounted it fell off, a lot, which is why I’m not running it, now. The rear fender is nice.
