SKS Speedrocker Bike Fender Set Review - feat. Clip-on Design + Mudguard + 42mm Wide Tires

SKS’s Speedrocker fenders not only have one of the coolest names for a fender set on the market, but also offer the convenience of a clip-on fender design specifically created for gravel riding. The multi-piece impact resistance Speedrockers keep your bike and clothes clean from dirt or debris when riding in wet weather. SKS offers the Speedrocker fenders for $85.99 and also has an optional $16.99 rear fender extension to protect riders behind you. The Speedrocker fenders utilize a combination of rubber and Velcro straps to quickly attach to any disc brake bike. These fenders are compatible with 700c or 650b wheelsets and up to 42mm wide tires. For additional splash protection the front fender is a two-piece design with a motorcycle style mudguard.

As with any non-bike specific fender set, there is a little assembly and adjustment required to dial in the SKS Speedrocker fenders. Although SKS’s instructions can be a little overwhelming at first, they are relatively well written and easy to follow if you’re patient. The first step is inserting the rubber inlays inside the mount attachment points which requires stretching then over the two hooks. After that you can attach the front fender pieces to the fork using a Velcro strap on each side of the fork and two straps for the strut attachment. The position of the front fenders can be adjusted by loosening the mount pivot bolts until you have at least 15 mm between the tire and the fender. The strut length can also be adjusted by about 2” by loosening the outer bolt and pulling the strut inward or outward. If these adjustments aren’t enough to align the fender you can also cut the metal strut piece using a saw or metal snips. Also note that the Velcro and rubber straps are all quite long to accommodate a variety of frame designs and can be cut down to eliminate excess length and achieve a cleaner installation.

To match the sporty product name and gravel riding target audience, the SKS Speedrocker fenders have an aggressive visual design and slightly squared off profile. The fenders look and feel premium with thick impact resistance plastic construction and a matte black finish. It’s more sturdy and rigid then you’d expect from a plastic construction. Speedrocker is debossed along the rear fender with glossy lettering that gives it a sleek ghosted-on-like visual appearance. There are also premium touches such as the integrated U-stay attachments for the struts which maximizes protection as well as telescoping struts for fine tuning the installation. The front fenders are perhaps the coolest feature as SKS has utilized a two piece design.
