Ryder is the leading cycle accessory brand in South Africa and was founded 22 years ago. Ryder is a proudly South African brand that started in 1996 with the local development and manufacture of sports water bottles. This was followed by cycling helmets, tyre liners, tyre levers and various other products and the brand stands behind all its products with a Lifetime Guarantee. The Slugplug builds on this proud tradition and offers improvements to what is currently on the market;
