Over 100 Years of Quality: SKS, a Quality Manufacturer in the Bicycle Industry

SKS, a quality manufacturer in the bicycle industry, has been keeping bikes rolling for over 100 years. The company's history began in 1921 when Karl Scheffer-Klute of Sundern, Germany, started manufacturing curtain rods. In 1932, the company was purchased by Wilhelm Blome, who also purchased a tire inflator company, inspiring him to begin manufacturing metal pumps.

Today, SKS is known as a pump and bicycle fender manufacturer, offering a wide range of accessories for your bike, including bike 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, and the company is committed to continuing to innovate and manufacture the highest quality cycling accessories for years to come.

The Future is Orange: SKS Germany's Bicycle Headquarters

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 product (32%).

Annually, SKS Germany produces 4.5 million full fenders, 2 million clip-on fenders, and 1.2 million bicycle pumps, totaling over 18,000 fenders per day and 3,200 pumps per day.

Revamping the Classics: The New Bluemels and Bluemels Style Fenders

In 2022, SKS revamped its full fender line, replacing the classic Chromoplastic Longboard and Commuter II full fenders 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 a sleek, flexible spoiler on the front and rear fender.

No Matter What: SKS Accessories for Every Rider

SKS offers a full line of commuting essentials for every type of rider, including e-bikes, all made in Germany. From fenders to floor pumps, mini pumps, air pressure gauges, bike bags and racks, phone holders, tools, bottles, cages, and adapters, SKS has all the parts and accessories to keep you riding no matter what.

The COMPIT Stem Mount, for example, allows your phone to be positioned horizontally or vertically and can be adjusted to the desired rider position. It is compatible with 1 1/8" headsets or 35mm and requires the purchase of a COMPIT phone case, universal phone cover adapter, or COMPIT Smartbag to use.
