Mud-X Downtube Bicycle Fender

Over 100 Years of Quality: SKS, a Bicycle Industry Leader

SKS has been a quality manufacturer in the bicycle industry, keeping bikes rolling for over a century. The company's history can be traced back to 1921, when Karl Scheffer-Klute of Sundern, Germany began manufacturing curtain rods. In 1932, the company was purchased by Wilhelm Blome, who also acquired a tire inflator company, inspiring him to start producing metal pumps.

Today, SKS is renowned for its pump and bicycle fender manufacturing, as well as a wide range of accessories for bikes, including pumps, fenders, bags, tools, digital pressure gauges, bottle cages, cage adapters, and even phone holders. All SKS items are designed and manufactured in Sundern, Germany, with a commitment to innovation and the production of the highest-quality cycling accessories.

The Future is Orange: SKS's Bicycle Division

SKS Germany employs 400 people at its bicycle headquarters in Sundern, and over 700 employees across its three combined divisions. The company's bicycle business is divided between aftermarket product sales (43%) and OEM products (32%).

Annually, SKS Germany produces an impressive array of cycling accessories: - 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, showcasing the scale and dedication of SKS's operations.

Revamping the Classics: The Bluemels and Bluemels Style Fenders

In 2022, SKS revamped its full fender line, replacing the classic Chromoplastic Longboard and Commuter II models with the new Bluemels and Bluemels Style fenders. Both models are made using the same chromoplastic fender material, but the Bluemels now feature black hardware and are available in more sizes than before.

The Bluemels Style fenders offer a unique square profile design, double U Stay technology, a matte black finish, and a sleek, flexible spoiler on the front and rear fender. SKS continues to be a leader in clip-on fender options as well, providing a wide range of commuting essentials for every type of rider.

No Matter What: SKS's Comprehensive Accessory Line

SKS has a comprehensive range of parts and accessories to keep cyclists riding "No Matter What." From fenders to keep riders dry and comfortable, to floor pumps, mini pumps, air pressure gauges, bike bags and racks, phone holders, tools, bottles, cages, and adapters, SKS offers a complete solution for all cycling needs, all made in Germany.

The Mud-X Downtube Mount Quickrelease Fender is a prime example of SKS's commitment to innovation. This lightweight protection board features a rubber strap fastening, with foam rubber pads to protect the downtube and prevent movement. It is a perfect match for the X-Tra Dry or X-Tra Dry XL Rear Fenders, providing comprehensive protection for riders.

In conclusion, SKS's over 100-year history, innovative product line, and dedication to quality have made it a leader in the bicycle industry. With a focus on the future and a commitment to manufacturing excellence, SKS continues to be a trusted brand for cyclists around the world.
