SKS Germany have introduced a new full coverage fender set called the Longboard, which offers some of the best wheel coverage in the industry.

The Longboard fender is 45mm wide and fits 700c road wheels with tires ranging from 28-37mm. It's longer than average and comes with 6in mud flap extensions, on both the front and rear, to provide maximum spray protection without the need for homemade solutions.

This should mean an end to riders having to add halved water bottles to extend their fenders’ coverage, and helps to keep your feet dry, as well as keeping the crank arm, bottom bracket and chainrings clean. The fender is made of plastic with an aluminum core.
