Product news: SKS Germany stands for affordable and innovative bicycle accessories. The long-established company from the beautiful Sauerland region – which incidentally celebrated its 100th anniversary last year – supplies products made in Germany and continues to impress many cycling fans. Below we show the SKS innovations for 2023.
SKS Innovations 2023 - Rennkompressor NXT
The Rennkompressor NXT is a cult floor pump from the 60s that has now been revised and given a modern design. Practical features such as the foldable feet and the removable wooden handle mean that the pump can quickly disappear into the car when you go on vacation, for example. With a maximum pressure of 16 bar you can build up a lot of pressure. And if something should break, there are various spare parts that can be reordered.
Information & data on the racing compressor
- precision pressure gauge
- Rubberized non-slip cast aluminum base
- Foldable feet to snap into place
- Rotatable handle made of beech wood
- Multivalve valve connection for all common valves
- Hose length: 120 cm
- Maximum pressure: 16 bar / 232psi
- Stroke: 271cc
Price: € 99,99
Infinity Universal System – SKS Innovations 2023
The Infinity Universal System consists of a functional luggage rack and wide mudguards that can be easily attached to the luggage rack. The latter is attached to the seatstays and should therefore be compatible with almost all bicycles and e-bikes.
Infinity universal luggage rack
The luggage rack is also equipped with the MIK click system. It therefore accommodates many common side pockets. The assembly can also be done easily using the quick-release system. This means that the luggage rack, for example on a mountain bike, quickly disappears again.

- Weight: 1kg
- Maximum load 12 kg
- Adjustment mechanism and quick release system
- Made of aluminium
- MIK click system, compatible with all common side bags

Infinity Universal Mudgard - Mudguard in different widths
The mudguard with the futuristic name Infinitiy Universal Mudguard is screwed to the luggage rack with precisely fitting clamps and can therefore be individually adjusted. SKS also offers two widths, of which the wider version with 75 mm also reliably covers Plus tires. This not only protects the driver from moisture and dirt, but also the luggage.
Information & data on the Infinity Universal Mudguard
- Wheel sizes: 27,5″ and 29″

Airspy TL tire pressure monitoring system
The Airspy digital tire pressure monitoring system is now also available for tubeless systems. The air spy continuously transmits the tire pressure to connected Garmin devices or to a smartphone with the SKS Mybike app. Accordingly, the Airspy can, for example, warn of air pressure loss or act as a digital manometer. A sleeve is included in the scope of delivery, which is used if you do not want to use the Airspy.

- Weight: 17g per valve
- Pressure: up to 8,3 bar / 120psi

Cage Shifter & Cage Shifter+
The SKS innovations for 2023 also include the Cage Shifter System. If the bottle cage does not fit the bike properly, the Cage Shifter can help: The bottle cage can be moved through its slotted holes and can therefore be accommodated on almost any frame. The Cage Shifter+ also has practical mounts to which, for example, a pump or a spare hose can be attached using the Velcro straps supplied.
Information & data on the Cage Shifter & Cage Shifter+
- Weight: Cage Shifter 16g, Cage Shifter+ 56g
- Made of robust polycarbon
- Flat, unobtrusive design
- Lots of customization options thanks to slotted holes
- Cage Shifter+ with side mounts & rubber Velcro straps
Price: Cage Shifter €9,99, Cage Shifter+ €19,99
Dual SC bottle cage
There is a new bottle cage to go with the cage shifter: the Dual SC. This consists of 40% recycled carbon fibers and is therefore very light and stable. The bottle is removed from the side, so it also fits well in small bicycle frames.
Information & data on the Dual SC
- Weight: 29 g
- Made of robust polycarbon
- Dust and waterproof
- Light & stable
- For all common bicycle bottles
- Made from 40% recycled carbon fibers

SKS innovations 2023 - growth for the Compit system
The practical Compit system is being expanded and, in addition to new smartphone covers, offers new charging units for mobile phones.
Compit Flexx
If you don't just want to use the Compit system on your bike, you now have the option of using the Compit Flexx in your car, for example. The flexible holder is attached to smooth surfaces using a suction cup and lever mechanism - this means that the smartphone can be attached to many different places.
Information & data on the Compix Flexx
- Suction cup with lever mechanism
- Rotating ball joint
- For smooth surfaces
- flex arm
Price: € 19,99
+Com/Charger power bank
If the smartphone gets on your nerves with an empty battery on long tours, it can be easily charged on the go using the +Com/Charger. According to your wishes via USB cable or inductively. The mobile power bank has a capacity of 10.000 mAh and can in turn be charged using the e-bike battery. For those who do not yet have a Compit system, the power bank is available as a set with a holder for the handlebar under the name Compit+/Power.
Info & data for +Com/Charger & Compit+/Power
- Inductive charging with up to 10 W
- Input power: 9-36V, 2A
- Power bank weight: 253 g
- Fast charging function
- USB-A output & USB-C in and out
- Charging option from the e-bike battery
- Charge up to 3 devices at the same time
- Compit+/Power with mount for handlebars with 22.2, 25.4, 31.8 & 35 mm diameter
Price: +Com/Charger €59,99, Compit+/Power €79,99
Com/Pad charging pad
The Com/Pad is particularly suitable for e-bikes. Because the smartphone is charged directly via the battery of the e-bike - the intermediate step via the power bank as with the +Com/Charger is no longer necessary. This makes sense, because it reduces the energy lost through conversion. At the same time you save weight and the cockpit looks tidier.
Information & data on the Com/Pad
- Inductive charging with up to 10 W
- Input power: 9-36V, 2A
- Weight: 68 g
- Direct power supply from the e-bike battery
