Not everyone who owns
a racing road bike also owns a rain bike.
The downside of a racing bike is that there is no room to mount
traditional fenders in the event of a downpour.
minimalist, yet effective |
The SKS Raceblade Fenders
make it possible to quickly mount fenders on a wide variety of road bikes. Thanks to the quick mount system, you can
install and remove the fenders tool-free.
Set-up is so simple you might not even need the directions.
The rubber mounting
pads protect the frame from scratches, and is the only part attached to the
bike. The fender can be attached via the
rubber bungies or can be more permanently attached with zip ties. The
simplicity of the design allows it to fit most frame/fork configurations.
The front fender extends from behind the fork to below the bottom bracket level and the rear from the rear brake to even with the axle. Your backside stays dry, and on the front your feet all the way to your head is protected from road spray.

Visually these are
very attractive fenders; the short lines and compact shape set them apart from
the traditional commuter set-up, finally fenders are cool!
Even with the ease of
removal the rider might be tempted to just leave them on when not needed. The slim shape, light weight and silent
running of the SKS fenders make these stealthy enough that they might just go
unnoticed all the time.
Fenders of any sort
make your ride more enjoyable, keeping the road spray off your body and much of
your bike. When it looks like rain, just
pop on your SKS Raceblade fenders on the way out and be assured you will stay
more comfortable.
