Reviews over the

SKS Raceblade Pro XL

Easy to install or take off. The mudguards do what they are supposed to do.

Pros & Cons

True, With the expectation

Pros & Cons

Super good mudguards

Pros & Cons

Because the front mudguard stops at the fork, when cycling on wet surfaces from a speed of about 25 km/h, the water is simply thrown up in front of the fork and mudguard and still partly ends up on the face/body. All in all happy with the purchase though, makes cycling in wet weather or road conditions much more enjoyable.

Pros & Cons

Great mudguards, SKS is just German solidity. Nice thing is that they are adjustable and therefore fit almost any frame.

Pros & Cons

Fine wing. I only use the rear mudguard.

Pros & Cons

Doen precies waar je ze voor koopt: je rug en benen droog houden van het spatwater. Super makkelijk te installeren.

Pros & Cons

The racing blades look sleek and are easy to install. The adjustment takes some time. A sufficient distance (1.5 cm) to the tyre is needed to prevent the blades from rubbing against the tyre while cycling. This did happen to me during the first rides, causing an annoying noise. It is necessary to tighten the rubber bands quite a bit to allow less play in the fastening. It may also be necessary to adjust after several hours of use. When the wind is strong, my experience is that your shoes still get wet from splashing water, but less so than when cycling without blades. In calmer weather, my shoes stay reasonably dry. My jacket stays nice and clean. So an improvement, but with rain or a wet road surface you still have to clean your bike after a ride.

Pros & Cons

Fine mudguards, holds back water well. Solid material.

Pros & Cons

My 1st purchase from mantle and there will be more to come. Just a perfect picture.

Pros & Cons

Meets expectations

Pros & Cons

Mudguards work perfectly, should have bought earlier

Pros & Cons

Keep your back dry at an affordable price

Pros & Cons

I've already tried several mudguards, and this one seems to be the best suited to road bikes for wet weather and winter.

The rear driver will also enjoy your purchase.

Pros & Cons

Quite long to adjust the first time, but it's also an advantage because it's long to adjust because you can adapt them just right. For my information, I use them on a Giant TCR 2021, and they fit just under the down tube.

Nice sleek mudguard set, at a good price the rear mudguard is very easy to fit. The front mudguard I had a bit more trouble with due to my 28 milimetre tyres rubbing against the plastic leg ends, in the end this almost completely worked out, now only at bumps I hear an occasional noise. This is not annoying and does not get in the way of morale.

Pros & Cons

This set of mudguards is a bestseller for a reason. For the price, you get solid material that is quite easy to install. And I do indeed keep it much drier when cycling! I just wonder if it is qualitative enough to last long with quasi daily use.

Pros & Cons

Good product

Pros & Cons

This is my second set and as I really liked the 1st ones on my other bike. Purchased the matt black and they look great on my road bike. Nice and light for mudguards, extremely adjustable and endorsed by my club for winter club rides. Once on and adjusted to shape and size, they are so easy to remove and put back on if required.

Pros & Cons

In wet road conditions, I still arrived at work wet. Now, when wet, I stay nice and dry. Even my shoes stay dry.

Pros & Cons

Very good mudguards. Looks nice on the bike. Hard to adjust on an aero frame, though.

Pros & Cons

Convenient to use and looks good.

Pros & Cons

simple 23 tyre mounting, I took pro XL, impeccable. the front does the job, for the rear no miracle you'll get water splashing on the rear of the frame, that's my case, but at least the back stays clean, I added collars for extra strength, see photos.

Honestly I expected better, doing an outing with only wet asphalt (no rain) I still got my shoe covers completely wet

Nice experience: pedalling for 2 hours in the rain without a mud track on clothing.

Pros & Cons

Got it last week and already enjoying it a lot with the wet and dirty roads

Pros & Cons

Pretty sturdy despite not being a 3-point attachment

Pros & Cons

Fine mudguards and pretty too

Pros & Cons

Bike with 32 mm tyres they fit just fine. Been away for a week but not a drop of rain so how they protect I don't know....

Pros & Cons

I use my road bike to bike to work. Then you are not waiting for wet clothes. These fenders help very well and your road bike stays looking like a road bike.

Pros & Cons

Compared to other mudguards these are a breeze to fit and adjust. They give good protection from wet weather on my winter racer.

Pros & Cons

Does its job, permanently attached with webbing straps for commuting bike. Rear fender could be longer to get the perfect fit to the wheel.

Pros & Cons

Fine fenders that do what they are supposed to do. Adjusting the front mudguard took quite a bit of time, as it soon hits the downtube of the frame. At least on my bike (Tarmac SL7) it just fit.

Good product, protects very well. The fit was a little difficult as the stems at the back had to be extended to the maximum.

Pros & Cons

Drove it once, no complaints.

Pros & Cons

Great fenders and stay tight with the tension rubbers.

Pros & Cons

Easy to mount mudguard, which sits securely on the bicycle. Gives protection from wetness and dirt during bad(er) weather. I am very satisfied with this product!

Pros & Cons

Solid fenders that are surprisingly sturdy despite its appearance. Keeps your legs and shoes dry reasonably well. The only thing I find a bit off about it is that the fender at your rear wheel is a bit short at the front. This can cause the back of your lower legs and shoes to get wet/dirty eventually.

Pros & Cons

Great size and very easy to fit

Pros & Cons

Mounted on a fixie bike. Sits very nice/tight around the tires. Mounting was pretty fast, too.

Pros & Cons

Nice set of fenders that now allow me to go to work year round on my road bike. Easy to attach and weighs nothing.

Pros & Cons

After a lot of ass-savers the have now bought these fenders for the autumn months, I now get off the bike reasonably clean

Pros & Cons

Very easy to install and also looks great on the bike.

Pros & Cons

Read the manual well for safety. XL definitely not too thick for my 28mm tyres.

Pros & Cons

Good product for the price, just be careful with the front mudguard. It came loose on me while cycling because I touched it with my shoe in front of a traffic light. The next moment my front wheel blocked because the mudguard got stuck, leaving me on the ground.

Pros & Cons

I fitted these, fits well and while driving everything stays in place

Pros & Cons

It took some figuring out before I found the right set for my road bike. There is a lot on offer and the differences are not always clear. This set meets my expectations and gives sufficient protection against dirt and wetness. The set is easy to put on and take off.

Pros & Cons

Top product. Use the bike much more than before

Pros & Cons

Initially very satisfied. After a few rides and time to reflect, not so satisfied anymore. The boards could be a lot longer. Actually, you can shorten them nicely with a saw and some sandpaper. They could also be rounder, at least this way you fully protect the bike and rider. If you decide to fit your bike with mudguards at all, it's best to make it fully functional. After all, fitting a racing bike with boards is equivalent to swearing in a church, according to many riders. So let's get it right then too. I am in favour of mudguards and the whining doesn't bother me.

Pros & Cons

Too bad the rods are just too short, making them impossible to mount appropriately on my road bike with rim brakes

Pros & Cons

Initial fitting/adjustment takes a little time, but after that you (de)assemble them in no time. The matt version is hardly noticeable. They don't weigh much and protect adequately. Do not rattle. Only the seat tube and bottom bracket still get dirty.

Pros & Cons

It took some puzzling to adjust and assemble it properly. After one-time adjustment, it is easy to (dis)assemble. Amazing how well it keeps the water and dirt away. No more wet backs and feet in these wet times of year. Mounted on Trek Emonda SL6 with 28 mm tyres.

Pros & Cons

Assembly and disassembly is easy. Rear legs on the short side for me on a 60 cm Bulls Harrier from 2010

Pros & Cons

Because the mudguards can be adjusted at various points, you can actually mount them tightly around your wheels at all times, which means less loss of aerodynamics and optimal protection against splashing water and dirt. Front mudguard is of great added value, saves a lot of dirt in your steering head and on your legs and feet.

Pros & Cons

Solid

Pros & Cons

Easy-to-fit mudguard. Keep your buttocks and back clean.

Pros & Cons

Does what it needs to do, nice endurance rides in the Dutch weather!

Pros & Cons

Bought these for my road bike. I was previously used to the mudrocker from on my gravel bike, which is both longer at the back and has some kind of extension at the front. The Raceblade now keeps my rear end dry, but because it is too short at the front and rear, my seattube, drivetrain and my front end (splashing water) still get dirty. Of course, that's also partly the fault of the bike itself, which has no frame to install longer mudguards.

Pros & Cons

Excellent Product - has become the 'Standard' Mudguards for this Winter with my Cycling Club colleagues - all happy with Quality / Performance / Fitting / Price

Pros & Cons

A fellow cyclist had these on his bike and after some explanation I was convinced. Last weekend I cycled 70 km in the rain and I am super satisfied with them. They do their job super, I hardly have to clean the bike as a large part is absorbed by the mudguards.

Pros & Cons

Mounting it is a bit of work, but not difficult and afterwards it is easy to dismantle and quickly put it back on again next year. After a ride on wet roads, the bike is still clean and dry and the chain a lot less dirty. A must for anyone who wants to cycle through autumn/winter. It does look less beautiful, but beautiful cyclists only ride their bikes in the sun ;)

Pros & Cons

very good product!

Pros & Cons

Great set only when wet and windy, a lot of water still blows onto your legs via the front. Could go a bit further at the front

Pros & Cons

easy to mount also on a cyclocross bike with rim brakes. Just don't know if the mounting clips can be bought separately if the plastic breaks. Otherwise very satisfied.

Pros & Cons

Top product. Took me a while to get the adjustment under control, though. Just took a little Allen with training. Had to shorten the front and rear mudguard though.

Pros & Cons

Universal mudguard set, fits in this case road bike with rim brakes. Mudguard attachment although very universal, less stable (vibration/movement in mudguard)

Pros & Cons

Once fitted work fine . Good water protection . But don’t really fit oval front forks like on my Ridley but make em fit with a bit of cutting. Did the job.

Pros & Cons

easy to fit and remove ideal for cycling in wet weather without splashing your face and back

Pros & Cons

It was some(hour) work to adjust the Fenders. Was almost impossible to get these mounted symmetrically. After 1st ride in the rain a bit sagged(despite really tightened well) which made them crooked again and moving the end sanded the paint off the frame in 2 places. On mounting also due to sagging scratches on frame. Another pity is that you have to fill your whole frame with protective film. Which is therefore also visible to a greater or lesser extent when you don't use the mudguards. Would have been better if the mudguard had also had stabilisation at seat post/vertical tube. Edges of Fenders are also very sharp and damage the bike quickly.

Pros & Cons

Does what it needs to do, fine.

Pros & Cons

Fast delivery and well packaged ! Mudguards hardly stand out ! Great product at a great price

Pros & Cons

all in all smooth installation, although you have to search a bit for best position

Pros & Cons

Very flexible adjustable mudguard. The mudguard stops splashing water so you get much less wet feet. Unobtrusive mudguard.

Pros & Cons

Satisfied, no more splashes on my back and rump

Pros & Cons

Installed once, no problems, protects well against rain. I did have to adjust the rubbers to fasten the mudguards, as they did not fit nicely around the frame. Now they fit well and stay in place better.

Pros & Cons

Are easy to customise Stay in place Easy assembly

Pros & Cons

Should have bought much earlier, nice workout outside in winter very nice!

Pros & Cons

I bought them because you have a lot of splashing water and sand in winter, especially along the coast. Now that's not a bad thing, but now my back stays dry and my frame reasonably clean. Everyone knows that sand, is disastrous for the vital parts of your bike, and with these racing blades you keep that to a minimum. I am super satisfied. Better than an asesaver

Pros & Cons

Easy to install and probably fits almost every bike due to its system. Once on your bike, it does its job perfectly.

Pros & Cons

I should have bought this one years earlier

Pros & Cons

Front end went on easily. Due to the bent rear fork, the bars are just too short. As a result, I had to take off a small piece near the brake. It does sit firmly and doesn't rattle and you don't get a mark on your back/ass. An option for longer rods (if the hardware stores were loose I could see if welding rods have the same but) would be nice.

Pros & Cons

Even though the road is wet you get off like it's summer, no splashes on clothes.

much better than I expected fit my Pinarello Gan and have proved successful in recent bad weather. Would recommend to anyone looking for a set of mudguards

Pros & Cons

No Issues , easy to install. Competitive pricing. Fast delivery to UK. Extension bars could be by 1cm longer to be perfect.

Pros & Cons

These are great. Can be fitted to pretty much any road bike in minutes. Once on they fit tightly and don't rattle around at all.

Pros & Cons

I've had "removable" mudguards before, but they weren't really. These though, so easy to remove! Super easy to adjust, then when you want to take them off, you undo 2 straps and that's it. 10 seconds and you're done!

Pros & Cons

These have plenty of adjtment.. fairly easy to use. Good buy

Bought these as previous mudguards always appeared to catch on the wheels and were flimsy. These are fiddly for 1st fit and I had to trim the rear one. But once set they are easy to put on and remove and do the job well.

Pros & Cons

bought for cycling in wet conditions but they are in the shed. On the front mudguard, the adjusters run into the spokes and on the rear mudguard, the rods are too short to fit properly into the adjusters. The top rods are a mm in and go out while cycling. Unfortunately, still a wet and cold butt.

Pros & Cons

Great mudguards and a great price from Mantel - take your time setting them up correctly and then just fit and forget.

Pros & Cons

Easy to fit with a bit of care ,not had chance to get out and road test yet.But from other riders who have them expect to be satisfactory.

Had purchased them to cycle to work even in wet conditions. Unfortunately. They don't fit on my frame.

Pros & Cons

Fit a really intricately shaped seat stay and forks no problem. Quick setup and stay in place very well.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Many thanks. Great!!!!

Very good at keeping the wet and dirt from soiling cloths and the cycle. Very easy to fit and remove

Pros & Cons

Easy to fit ,and remove , keeps you and your cassete and mech clean , great pice of kit
