And if your bike needs a small upgrade, we’ll guide you to one of our partner shops for an easy fix.

No frame modifications, no hidden surprises.

Installation is simple – one DiskDrive® replaces your rear brake rotor.

After that, Skarper clicks on or off in seconds.

We also offer free professional installation through our retail partners, or you can fit it yourself at home using our step-by-step video guide.

No wires, no permanent changes, just one satisfying click.

You can ride it risk-free.
