No Matter What

Over 100 Years of Quality

SKS is a quality manufacturer in the bicycle industry, we have been keeping bikes rolling for over 100 years.

Our history began in 1921 when Karl Scheffer-Klute of Sundern, Germany began manufacturing curtain rods. His company was purchased in 1932 by Wilhelm Blome, who also purchased a tire inflator company, which inspired him to begin manufacturing metal pumps.

SKS is now known as a pump and bicycle fender manufacturer, along with accessories for your bike, including bike pumps, fenders, bags, tools, digital pressure gauges, bottle cages, cage adapters, and even phone holders.

SKS items are still designed and manufactured in Sundern, Germany. We will continue to innovate and manufacture the highest quality cycling accessories for years to come.

The Future is Orange

SKS Germany employs 400 people at our bicycle HQ in Sundern, and over 700 employees across our three combined divisions.

43% of our bicycle business is through aftermarket product sales while 32% is OEM product.

Annually, SKS Germany produces:

- 4.5 million full fenders

- 2 million clip-on fenders

- 1.2 million bicycle pumps

This totals over 18,000 fenders per day and 3,200 pumps per day!

Revamping the classics

In 2022 the SKS full fender line was renewed. The classic Chromoplastic Longboard and Commuter II full fenders were replaced with the new Bluemels and Bluemels Style fenders.

Both models are made using the same chromoplastic fender material. But, the Bluemels now come with black hardware and are available in more sizes than before.

The Bluemels Style fenders feature a square profile design, double U Stay technology, a matte black finish, and come with a sleek, flexible spoiler on the front and rear fender.

SKS Germany continues to be a leader in clip-on fender options as well.

I have to say i didn't like the look of this style of fenders. And still really dont but i have come to love this one. I have it on a motorized bicycle so its strong not going anywhere even when im doing 40mph. Blocks the rain great looks cool on my new froks. So very happy overall i would like full coverage or maybe even just a longer version of these but they work for me
Thank you for your feedback

Like a motorcycle dirt bike front fender, but for a 29" wheel size mountain bike. (Ensure you get the correct variant)
Also, detachable with a button so I can lose the wind resistance or for car transport.

Also have been using a SKS X-Try Dry XL seat post quick detachable rear fender for months, it is light, durable, and quick to attch/detach. Don't let the XL fool you, it isn't too big for my Trek 29" wheel Medium Frame Mountain Bike.

Now I can ride through the mud puddles on the trail after a rain with little to no mud getting on my upper half or head.

Do not have extensive rough terrain experience with it, mostly dirt/flat track so not sure if would “flop around” too much if down hilling. Don’t think it would be an issue, but it it snaps on/off very easily so could take off for dry conditions. I wear contacts and dirt in the eyes was a constant issue. Also have older hardtail with caliper breaks and wanted fender that attaches directly under top tube. Very effective and has completely eliminated dirt in the eyes. Very secure fit, is not wire-tied on and can very easily be removed whenever you prefer. At first was concerned larger style might hit feet in some situations but non issue. Easy install.

This is a great product. Installation took only a couple of minutes. I purchased the front fender to keep dirt, thorns, and small rocks from my legs and face while riding in the Arizona desert trails. It’s very effective and has completely eliminated that problem. It has a very secure fit and can be easily removed whenever you prefer. Very light but sturdy. I may buy the rear fender to complete the set but the bike rack over the rear tire does a good job keeping dirt and small rocks from flying into my legs.

Beware when purchasing this product. At the very least the sizing information is wrong as I followed it precisely and the attachment pieces were still too small. I had purchased this time twice before and had no problems until they changed things without warning. Where previously there were a variety of sizes of fittings, one of which actually fit my bike, they turned to cheaping out and sent only two fitting choices, both of which were too small. In addition, the company I purchased it from was very unresponsive when I tried to get their sizing error corrected (again, I followed their directions for sizing) until Amazon finally stepped in and made it right. Never did get the "adjusted" item to work, though. So buyer beware with this item and company.

I have a RickShox Yari 150 mm travel shock and the adapters will not fit the head tube which is too wide. there’s a previous comment which says you can get the adapters from the company but these are the exact same ones that come with it. So the fender feels like it’s fine but you’ll need to get some rope or zip ties to put it on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice fender. Dead easy to install.

Color: BlackSize: 28"-29"Verified Purchase
A quick plug insert into the headstock and a twist of the Allen bolt and the mount for this fender is installed. Just slide the fender over the mounting point and it’s locked in place. Nice and high and super well built. It is a high fender so doesn’t hug the wheel. You’ll get some spray on you vs the wheel bigger type fenders. But it’s better than no fender at all. Worked well in the rain.
