Over 100 Years of Quality
SKS is a quality manufacturer in the bicycle industry, we have been keeping bikes rolling for over 100 years.
Our history began in 1921 when Karl Scheffer-Klute of Sundern, Germany began manufacturing curtain rods. His company was purchased in 1932 by Wilhelm Blome, who also purchased a tire inflator company, which inspired him to begin manufacturing metal pumps.
SKS is now known as a pump and bicycle fender manufacturer, along with accessories for your bike, including bike pumps, fenders, bags, tools, digital pressure gauges, bottle cages, cage adapters, and even phone holders.
SKS items are still designed and manufactured in Sundern, Germany. We will continue to innovate and manufacture the highest quality cycling accessories for years to come.
The Future is Orange
SKS Germany employs 400 people at our bicycle HQ in Sundern, and over 700 employees across our three combined divisions.
43% of our bicycle business is through aftermarket product sales while 32% is OEM product.
Annually, SKS Germany produces:
- 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!
Revamping the classics
In 2022 the SKS full fender line was renewed. The classic Chromoplastic Longboard and Commuter II full fenders were replaced 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 come with a sleek, flexible spoiler on the front and rear fender.
SKS Germany continues to be a leader in clip-on fender options as well.

This product is junk . . . it worked reasonably well with a standard valve, but would not work with a road bike Presta Valve . . . got no resistance when trying to pump . . . air leaked through the standard valve opening. It's being returned.

I needed to replace the worn head on a Joe Blow Sprint. Just yanked out the old one and inserted this, which fit snugly and securely. Seems well made and works great on both types of valves. The individual ports should mean there are no internal valves to wear out from constant switching back and forth. I like that it locks when you press the lever down. You can get better leverage and seems more intuitive. Excellent and inexpensive way to extend the life of an otherwise good air pump.

As stated in another review it was tight fit, but that’s good with a high pressure fitting. After realizing that I could not just screw it onto my pump hose using the old pump head parts the way some exact copy heads can, I chopped off the old end of the old tube with a small pair of very sharp garden loppers (but could have use razor knife). I then gently clamped the new pump head in a vice so it could take downward pressure, lubed the receiving collar nubs with oil and gently twisted and pushed and wiggled hose in with steady pressure until I got tube to flare and slip well onto fitting. (Another customer said they pre-flared it. I did not have to because the Bontrager hose was flexible enough. ) Kind of like doing a garden hose repair without hose clips. Of course you slip the bright orange plastic screw collar fitting onto the hose first so it is in position to mate with the pump head assembly. Nice tight fit. Works great. Orange screw collar brought it together securely and withstood medium force. Well made. Great value. Will purchase again for another pump.

I have a Joe Blow pump and the old Valve head wouldn't seal. I replaced it with this one and it works well, gives good seal. I've only used the presta so far but would also think the Schrader seals well. I cut my old valve off and this fit and sealed only the old rubber tube coming out of the pump.

Perfect fit. Works as designed for both, presta and schrader, valves. It replaced the Bontrager head after little over a year. The Bontrager unit was poorly designed and constantly slipped off the presta valves.

Not only is it a much needed replacement, as my mountain bike pump adapter broke, its so much more convenient for use with presta and shrader valves! No more messing around with screwing on the adapter to presta and shrader valves, you simply connect the adapter to the valve, flip the switch down to secure it, and you are good to go!! Very happy with this purchase as we have bikes with both presta and shrader valves! Also it was extremely easy to install, just popped off the old adapter and secured the new one in place. I did not need to cut any tubing!

I rarely write a review, but this one upgrade to my pump is worthy.First, I love my Bontrager pump, but I hated the inflation nib. It was a universal that tried to do both presta and schrader and didn't do either well. This one simply fits on either and works well.For the installation, I did have to cut off the original since no amount of heating and pulling could get it off. But the new one slipped easily into the tube and secured firmly.

German quality, made to last a long time. This pump head works properly with any sort of valve... unlike the crappy one that was fitted to the pump originally. Happy I didn't need to throw out the whole pump!

Not sure why some valve heads lock by pulling it upward. The problem with it is you can hurt a finger when you release it, because it's a bit awkward to release that you might need to support the valve a certain way. And next thing you know, the lever slams into your finger. I prefer this press down to lock option. Easier and safer. SKS' design also made the locking mechanism seal/secure both the schrader and the presta valves simultaneously. No need to guess which way locks what hole, which is what the JoeBlow design went with. The only knock on this SKS is bulk. I doubt you can fit the valve head through the spokes of a 16-inch bicycle wheel or anything smaller. But it's quite alright with 26" and up bike wheels. You need to make sure the hose you use this with will fit. If you have a Lezyne with a bad head, I think this SKS will not work.

Existing cheap track pump was very poor when it came to pumping up tyres with Presta type valves. You have to unscrew a retaining cap then invert a rubber sleeve with different diameters to accommodate the different valve stem widths. This never worked very well. As we have several bikes with a mix of Presta and Schrader type valves it was annoying to find the track pump was good for some but not others and spend time faffing about with the connector. Swapping the existing valve connector with this connector took only a few minutes. The pump now works easily and perfectly for all our bike valves. The fact the connector has two ports, one for each style of valve is very convenient - there is no need to make any adjustments when you swap between valve types. Nicely engineered and looks like it will last a long time. And certainly a preferable solution to buying a whole new track pump.

Lo he colocado para sustituir la boquilla de un compresor que empleo para hinchar las ruedas de las bicis que solo servía para válvulas Schrader (las gordas como las de los coches), y para las válvulas Presta (las delgadas) tenía que emplear un adaptador. Con este cabezal puedo hinchar ruedas con cualquiera de ambos tipos de válvula sin necesidad de adaptador, y no se pierde nada de presión al soltarlo. Se coloca fácilmente en el tipo de goma o manguera estándar de los compresores y/o de las bombas de aire de pie convencionales. Además se ve muy sólido.
