Components: Who doesn't know it, the road is wet, the trail is muddy and you can clearly see on your butt and face: You were on a bike.

Top fenders: SKS Speedrocker Set



non-verb suggested retail price d. Manufacturer: 49,99 euros

[accordions type=”toggle” handle=”pm” space=”no” icon_color=”#” icon_current_color=”#”]

The Spedrocker was specially developed for gravel bikes, sporty cyclocrossers and racing bikes with comfortable, wider tyres. A special feature is the double spoiler function on the front wheel protection, which is attached with rubber Velcro straps. While a spoiler between the fork and the front wheel first catches the spray water, directs it downwards and presses it onto the tire through circulation, an additional spoiler catches the water and then sprays it downwards.
The rear wheel guard also guarantees perfect splash protection thanks to its extendable extension profile and is fixed with sturdy rubber straps. The new mounting system with flexible flaps is variable in width and can be attached to the frame for any geometry. Another special feature are the practical cut-outs for brake lines. Integrated lower stays with ESC Vario safety system not only ensure a clean look, but also more space between the mudguard and the tires.



Use: Gravel bike and road bike with disc brakes
mounting: Cable Ties
Positioning: front wheel and rear wheel
Material: Plastic
Compatibility: 27,5″ , 28″
