Seeing as the 2016 lineup continues the Evo line, I thought I'd share the current evolution of my fender setup on my 2015 29er. I stole this guy's idea: http://www.pedelec-biker.com/2015/05/cube-reaction-hybrid-hpa-pro-29_26.html
In short, they are SKS Bluemels B65, custom painted matte black to match the frame, and the front fender is actually another rear fender that I shortened slightly, because the Bluemels front fender is too short and would not protect the front gear set or my shoes. I used Cat Eye SP-9 fasteners for the front lowers/sliders, and zip ties for the arch mount. I also pop riveted a custom mudflap on the front fender to make it even more effective.
I also tried the SKS Beavertail XL for the rear which looked great but still kept spraying my back, and I had a custom Zefal/SKS hybrid fender on the front which worked great but was somewhat odd looking.
I've upgraded the tires for summer riding (Schwalbe Big Apple), pedals, grips, seatpost and seat. For winter riding (snow) I use the original Schwalbe Rapid Robs, or when it gets real slippy towards the spring, the Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pros. I also added some Tesa Anti Scratch XL film to the underside of the downtube to keep the paint from chipping.
Obviously I use the bike for commuting.
