SKS has unveiled a wide array of fresh product at Eurobike, including new mudguards, pumps and bags.
Key lines include the new high pressure hose connection pumps Spaero Sport Alu (£34.99 RRP) – sporting an aluminium body – and the Spaero Sport Deep Black (£29.99 RRP), the latter featuring outside synthetic material and an aluminium piston tube. Both offer 115psi pressure, suited for Presta valves. The hose doesn’t have to be screwed on the pump before start with inflating, but instead is just being pulled out and screwed on the valve. They are available from January onwards.
In the mudguard category, SKS is offering the S-Blade (£12.99 RRP) rear mudguard for thin 28-inch/700c tyres, similar to the brand’s X-tra Dry rear mudguard for MTBs. Available now, the powerstrap quick-release attachment allows mounting to all common seat post diameters. It weighs 106g.
Other offerings include new bags, a design update of Shockblade and X-Blade and a further width option (47mm) of the Velo Series of mudguards.
