Many will say, “Racing is Life”, and every one of us was born to win. The simple fact that you exist means you have already won the first and most important race of all. Your first rush was moments from birth, when that all important spank on the backside kick-started your system and made you an adrenaline junkie for life. This is why we chose to name our company SPANK Industries. SPANK aims to breathe new life into your cycling experience and trigger that same rush every time you ride your bike!

The brand started as the brainchild of South African designer/manufacturer Gavin Michael Vos, and German distributor Sven Mack. Their goals were to create the perfect symbiosis of weight optimization, enhanced performance and cutting edge style while maintaining affordability. Currently, SPANK is one of a few brands in the world that employs in-house design, development, testing and production for our complete line of unique and exclusive components.

A well established name in the world of powersports, iXS has become one of the leading manufacturers of sportswear and protective gear for mountain bikers over the last decade. “Speed on two wheels” is the company’s motto and iXS lives it daily by working closely with key athletes to thoughtfully develop products for all riders. 

For decades, the iXS brand has stood for highly effective protective clothing for motorcyclists and cyclists. Having won numerous ‘Best Product’ awards in the trade press – as well as the prestigious Red Dot Design Award for design concept – the iXS brand is synonymous with high standards of quality for two-wheeled pilots of all kinds.
