A hugger is a type of mudguard most frequently seen on sports motorcycles, named such because they fit very closely around the tire they shield and are said to be "hugging" it. Their design sacrifices the potential for offroad use, where they are prone to clogging from mud, for better wind resistance. In the picture, the front huggers used on racing motorcycles can be seen.
