Beautiful, but quality and assembly could be better
Assembly was unclearly explained but all in all fairly simple to do. The mudguards are not for taking on and off each time, I find it too much work for that. (The rubbers were also quickly damaged)

Fine wings.
Fine and sturdy mudguards that don't look so chunky and big. First time fitting is a bit of a puzzle but after that they are easy to fit and remove.

Top product for the money
I use it on my Specialized Cirrus Carbon for commuting. Icm 35mm gravel tyres, I now have a bike I can take to work, but also just grab a trail. Especially with the fine Dutch winter weather. Of course you don't stay completely dry, but they work much better than expected. No spray from the front tyre, your back stays dry and at least over your shoes (rain trousers on when it rains).
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Nice light mudguards and do what they are supposed to do.
Did some kilometres with this set in the rain and I like the SKS Speedrocker. Just have to wait and see how long the rubber fixings will last. They do sit firmly on the frame.

Nice set of mudguards for any road bike!
If you are totally fed up with coming home from cycling every time in wet weather dirty then this is the solution! Looks good all in black, and sits nicer and more firmly in place than the mudguards on most city bikes. Very quick to remove when the sun shines and the roads are dry. First assembly means you can spend anywhere from 1 to 2 hours of quality time with your bike. Adjustment options are wide and so can be applied very precisely to any bike. So does take some time. It comes with just enough frame protection stickers to get it right in one go, which really could have been a bit more as I still wanted to customise it just a bit when I had it all on.

Not tested in pouring rain yet for now, but tested on wet roads. Kept dry trousers, so works fine! Curious though how well they stay on more challenging surfaces like cobbles.

Nice, well-fitting mudguards
Mudguards meet expectations and are pretty easy to fit. Fit well around 28 mm tyres. As reported by others, more rubber straps instead of Velcro straps could have been supplied. Looks like a wrong cutback by SKS. Works faster/easier and looks better than the (too long) Velcro straps.

Super ride with the SKS Speedrocker :-)
Super ride with the SKS Speedrocker :-). Only the mounting of the velcro's I find less, completely with rubber straps would be better (just stays in place then).

I say do it!
Lovely those mudguards. Only SKS supplies 4 rubber straps and 5 velcros. With the velcros the mudguard sags, itt the rubber straps. Have only ordered 4 straps (in Germany)

The mudguard set for your gravel bike in autumn and winter!
Good mudguards as you would expect from sks. The mounting straps come loose, so there is a chance you will lose them. It's also a bit more fiddly than with fixed mounting straps like with the sks raceblade pro xl (but they only go up to 35 mm).
Pros & Cons
3 / 5
Solid wings with some quirks
Reasonably easy to mount, sits firmly and fits nicely at the back. Front mudguard I find a bit strange: two parts and to be fastened with Velcro while at the back it is with rubber straps (which seems much more practical than n sturdier).
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Highly effective
I use them every day on my gravel, and they protect me from mud in all circumstances.

A must for your winter rides
These mudguards do almost the impossible: look good on a racing or gravel bike! Installation went smoothly due to the clear instructions and the mounting straps stay in place. Even on singletrack, the mudguards stayed nicely in place. One note: the included frame protectors could have been slightly larger.
Pros & Cons

Good product, good price

Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Good product at a fair price
Fitting takes a little time the first time, as the distances first have to be set correctly. The paint protection film, which can be applied before fitting, is an advantage. You should make sure that the Velcro is really tight, as otherwise the mudguard can easily slip out of place in the event of vibrations.
4 / 5
Essential for winter cycling
The instructions are not very clear, particularly the diagrams for the rubber inserts, but if you take the time to study them everything makes sense. You muust make sure that the velcro straps for the front mudguard are well tightened otherwise they will slide down after a few bumps on the road. If the rubber block inserts were made of a softer rubber they would grip better - the hard rubber tends to slip on the bike's fork. The rear mudguards are held on by rubber straps and are quite effective but spare ones should be included as they will eventually stretch and break, as rubber does. The mudguards work very well in the wet, only a small bit of mud staining below the bottom bracket, and no dreaded 'Skunk stripe' up my back.
Pros & Cons

Good mudguard but complicated to fit
The mudguard is good quality but very, very complicated to fit. What's more, the attachment systems are not identical between the front and rear mudguards, which is very surprising.

Pretty happy with it
When assembling it, I still questioned the strength of the Velcro. Fortunately, those rods are long enough and I took off the attachment for the Velcro. Then you just get a round that you can screw perfectly to the frame or fork. This way, it forms a sturdy whole. Already rode through the rain several times and they do their job just fine

Simply great as a retrofit without mounts on the bike.
Installation is simple and well described, and it also adds a little extra value to the bike. If you don't have any mounting points on the frame, this is a very good alternative.

Useful mudguards in wet weather and dirty roads
The mudguards could be fitted quite smoothly. In use, I did notice that between the 2 parts of the front mudguard, water and dirt still splashed up. Not that much but still... In any case, it is much better than without mudguards.
Pros & Cons

Good and beautiful product.
On my Berria allroad gravel bike, the front mudguard does not quite close around the fork nicely due to the angular shapes of the fork. Despite this, it does stay in place well
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Almost the perfect match
Shortly before the start of the bad weather, I was able to order the set from Mantel at a good price, whereas it was otherwise sold out. The set is really very universal. Thanks to several mounting options, very easy shortening of the bars for the 2-inch front wheel and extendable rear mudguard, I was even able to install it quite easily on my 26" fully, which I have converted to 28" wheels with cyclo-cross tyres, and it even looks really good. It also does its job brilliantly on my current 26" LRS with 1.9" spike tyres.

Good mud flap does what it needs to do
Was easy to fit until a tensioning strap broke. I looked for an alternative and now it is back in place. It keeps everything dry above the level of the shoes. These still get dirty all the time.

The mudguards do a very good job, even in heavy rain. They were a bit difficult to assemble though, so not recommended if you want to take them off and put them back on easily.

Excellent mudguards
The mudguards fit perfectly on my Specialized Crux with 38 mm tyres. Installation was easy and they protect me and my bike excellently from wetness, mud and other unwanted autumn and winter stuff. The mudguards sit very securely. Top material at a great price. Disassembly is also a snap, and thanks to the included frame protection, my carbon steed remains free of mounting scratches.

Don't buy, save yourself misery.
Absolutely does not fit on road bike with disc brakes that can accommodate tires up to 35 mm (now 28). By force it can be fixed, but you don't want that. Even on the solid steel gravel bike it fits only with difficulty. Assembly is a lot of tinkering. The rear fender fits, but it doesn't fall nicely over the rear wheel. The front fender is wobbly with the Velcro straps and the front section doesn't fit. This won't stay on like this of course. Tire width there 38mm. A real bargain all in all. A shame for so much plastic junk.

These fenders do their job perfectly and are easy to install. I am very satisfied with this purchase.
Pros & Cons

good product
Only placed at the rear, this mudguard serves its purpose well, it covers the tire well, with the possibility of adjusting its length on the frame side, so if it rains I think I'm well protected. Maybe I'll put the front one on, but I'll need to divert the brake cable. Nothing special, but there's a clip right where it's supposed to go, and since I don't ride too much in the rain, I prefer not to weigh it down too much, even if the whole thing is light.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Very good product
Very satisfied with my purchase. I had already bought a set of mudguards from the same SKS brand, but they were too small for gravel tires over 35. This model fits 40C tires without a problem.

best mudguard for gravel, road and cyclo-cross bikes
The SKS SPEEDROCKER SET is the perfect solution if you don't have bolts on your bike but still want good protection from mud and rain (e. g. bike packing, commuting). I have 45mm tires, but 650B wheels, so it still fits, but the width does not cover the whole tire. Still the best product I could find online. It is also quite pricy, especially compared to other products from SKS.

Don't sit on the fence like I did, just get them!
Fantastic. I have always been put off by mudguards due to the hassle of fitting/removing them. Wish I had purchased these sooner. These are perfect on my gravel bike and take a minute to instal/remove (once initially set up). Coverage is great and keeps 95% of the crud off myself and the bike. Price is brilliant and the quality is top-notch.

Have had this set mounted on my commuter bike for several weeks now. Protects well but you have to secure the front fender well otherwise it slowly sinks down. (Rubber bands) Now with velcro it stays in place better. Different way of mounting.

Good quality with complex assembly.
The assembly was a bit complicated but in the end the mudguards hold very well. The assembly principle allows a lot of tyre clearance. Due to the effort involved, they are more suitable as permanent mudguards.

A must have for anyone who wants to keep cycling in the autumn!
I bought these mudguards because I live in a flat and don't have the luxury of washing my bike in a garden. I do this on a balcony. By using the mudguards, my bike gets much less dirty so that a little polishing is enough to get everything back in good condition for the next ride. If you are going to mount the mudguards on your bike for the first time, you will find that this can take quite some time. For me, this took about an hour. Really take plenty of time for this as well because when the mudguards sit perfectly on the frame for you, mark these places with the transparent tape provided and it will be less than 5 minutes' work in the future! During use, you will notice that your chain and cassette get a lot less dirty from the splashing water. Your clothes and shoes are also spared a lot of dirt and water, making you a lot more comfortable going over a wet road surface. Will your bike stay completely clean? No, definitely not that either but it's a world of difference from if you didn't use it. The downside is that, when cycling in a group, you get and take more headshots. On the one hand because everyone stays nice and dry in your wheel and on the other, if your cycling friends don't have a mudguard, you still get dirty from their splatters! All in all, a purchase I can recommend to anyone.
Pros & Cons

Fine mudguard set
Excellent mudguards that can also handle thicker tyres. Sturdy mounting points with frame protectors and elastic attachment material. The fastening material at the front is Velcro, which does not work as well and you have to put it on a bit more often.

Well thought-out product for gravel. Easy to fit after initial installation and adjustments. Tested in mud, very effective and easier to clean the bike. Tend to slip when used off-road.

Perfect wings to get through the winter season
Ordered this mudguard set to be able to cycle outside in winter too. I currently ride with 32mm tyres, but there is plenty of room to fit a lot wider tyres. The instructions in the box are poor. Fortunately, SKS has a video on their YouTube channel that does explain very clearly how to install the mudguards. After this video, the installation went very easily. Also nice that transparent stickers are included to protect the frame from scratches. Furthermore, these stickers clearly indicate where to put everything back on during the next installation. This makes mounting and dismounting very easy after the first time. Best of all, the mudguards do not rattle once properly installed, even on bad roads and cobblestones.
Pros & Cons

Extremely efficient. Fits my bike very well (Bianchi Zolder pro 2019). Quite complicated to fit but with an explanatory video found on the web, no worries. Quite discreet and gives the bike a nice look.

Top product
It takes a bit of time (30min) and dexterity to assemble the mudguards. Be sure to use the manual. Once fitted, they protect against splashing water and mud just fine. It is slightly less aesthetic, but that's just the way it is with mudguards.
Pros & Cons

Great results possible
I have a bike with cantis and had to do a lot of tinkering and handiwork - i.e. changes. It's worth it for me, because the desired tyre-protection distance is noticeably better than before!

Good value for money
Takes a minute or so to fit and remove the front two piece mudguard, the rear uses rubber straps so it can be taken on and off in a matter of seconds. If you’re leaving these on then they are rock solid once in place and offer good coverage (I’m running 38mm tyres)

Does what it needs to do!
So far, it meets expectations. Some puzzling with putting it on, but if it sits, it sits. After a long ride through the woods, I was mud-free, unlike fellow cyclist who does not use mudguards. I have not yet dismantled the mudguards and put them back on again. Am curious to see if they stay in good condition even then.

Good buy.
Mudguards are excellent for commuting on your racing or fitness bike and if you consider the look of the bike less important. You and your bike with all its parts are much less likely to get dirty. Fastening with velcro is easy but less attractive.

Sound and solid on all terrains
Mounted these mudguards on my gravel bike for the coming seasons. (Winter and autumn) I use the bike for commuting where I alternate asphalt and dirt roads. The mudguards stay perfectly in place in provide sufficient protection. I chose the mudguards over the bluemells to be able to remove them quickly if necessary! The front mudguards can normally only be fitted with a Velcro strap, but I added an extra quick-release fastener just to be sure!

Works well, easily removable, good materiel.
I used this on my Gravel bike when I'm commuting. The guards require you to cut the metal supports to length with snips, and an Allen key to tighten the precise height you want above your tire. They work well enough for blocking the water, though they don't go the full length of the rear tire, so the seat tube still gets dirt and water onto it, if that bothers you. At least your rear end and back are clean and dry.

Sturdy mudguard set for gravel frames
For my gravel bike/commuter, I was looking for a set of mudguards that were quick to mount (without the hassle of screws) and also fit over wide tyres (40mm). There are lugs on my gravel bike to attach mudguards to, but I find this solution from SKS a bit more practical in terms of installation. It looks less tidy, of course, but they are on quickly and off even quicker. Only the first time, you have to cut the metal holders to fit your frame - be careful not to cut them too short. On a cobblestone ride, this SKS Speedrocker stayed in place better than the standard set on the provided lugs on my colleague with the same frame! At the front, the tyre does need to be tightened well, otherwise it does slide down, which causes it to start rubbing against the tyre. At the back it stays firmly in place, no shaking or vibrating either. On a carbon frame it does scratch a bit, but not too badly: you can easily prevent this with insulating tape. What you do have to be careful with is the (extendable) rear flap. After a winter of bike commuting, this has sanded a considerable chunk out of the topcoat of the seattube. Probably due to dirt between the mudguard and frame... Here I ended up putting a rubber spacer in between myself, but this was best supplied with the Speedrocker anyway. Other than that, the Speedrocker does its job. Feet/shoes are a bit better protected, your back doesn't get too wet, and the bike definitely stays a bit cleaner (or less dirty) at the top. Compared to alternative mudguards, the Speedrocker set is a bit on the more expensive side, though. But you do get solid SKS quality in return.

Keep yourself clean
Enjoyed riding yesterday in the snow from three-country point, on the way back at high speed over muddy paths. While cycling, you hardly notice it in terms of noise or rattling. When I got to the car, only my feet/legs were dirty, jacket and back were still spotless.
Pros & Cons

once mounted: works fine
-Fixing it the first time was a bit of a puzzle, especially the exact places of fixing and sticking the protective film. -Protects well against splashing rainwater, also at the front. -Comment that mudguards are not suitable for suspension forks: nonsense. Simply attach to fork legs and there is nothing wrong.

Great product
Great product, very easy to install, no rattle ven on the roughest trails they perform well. I actually run 45c rear tyre on my giant revolt and they still fit well and do their job . They on the short side so if you looking to protect your buddies behind you from the spray than maybe not the best option. But if you looking to save your ass and protect the bike than this is the one

Excellent set of mudguards
I bought 2 sets of these mudguards off the back of reviews, I needed them to be rigid with good clearance for my gravel bikes running 38mm tyres. They were easy to set up and fix on the bike and I like the protective rubber grip band on the Velcro straps. The rear could really do with being longer for anyone following but otherwise they have stayed in place and saved me from some serious mud baths!

Great mudguards - easy to put on and off, no tools
These are a really good set of mudguards, snug fit, no rattle and easy to put on and off. The only reason for an 8 instead of a 10 is the use of velcro straps for the front mudguard - the rubber straps on the rear are so much better.

Poor, front set do not stay in place
I am an engineer by trade and spent around 3 hours fitting these to a road/ gravel bike. I have used SKS before without any problem, the rear set work without problems. The front set use Velcro to attach, the rear set use solid rubber straps. The Velcro Straps are not fit for purpose, within 30 minutes of use the front set was taken off. Caution fo not buy if you want front and back set. Save your money
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Fits any gravel bike
I was very enthusiastic about the Speedrocker. According to the description, they are suitable for 28 inch wheels up to a maximum width of 42 mm. I mounted them over my 650 b wheels with a width of 47 mm with a really minimal tyre overhang. They fulfil their purpose perfectly and also look pretty good. Fitting them is comparatively easy. The best thing ... they are quickly removed again. When the weather is good, they can be taken off and put back on when the weather is bad. Even frame protection stickers are included, but they could be a bit more generous.
