Reviews over the

SKS Raceblade Pro XL

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

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

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

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