- 18 stainless steel Torx screws for secure fitting to the original Kress drive wheel
- Step-by-step mounting instructions included
Why VarioSpike improves traction on your Kress robot mower
Standard robot mower wheels are designed for flat, dry terrain. On slopes above 20%, wet grass or fallen leaves, traction drops — the drive wheels spin, the robot gets stuck and throws wheel blockage errors. On soft ground, spinning wheels dig holes in the lawn and slow down every mowing cycle.
VarioSpike solves this with stainless steel spikes in differentiated traction zones: each spike is positioned to maximise ground contact at critical points, distributing load evenly — without damaging the lawn. The additional weight on the rear drive wheels gives your robot mower a reliable grip, even when conditions get difficult.
Every spike is machined, polished and hand-finished in Italy. All edges are deburred and countersunk screw holes ensure a flush, perfect fit. Made in Italy manufacturing guarantees precise tolerances, a secure fit and lasting corrosion resistance in any condition.

Frequently asked questions
Does it improve traction?
Yes. The differentiated traction zones are specifically designed for slopes and uneven terrain. The stainless steel spikes grip reliably even on wet or slippery surfaces, significantly reducing wheel blockage errors and failures on your Kress robot mower.
Does it prevent lawn damage?
Yes. VarioSpike are designed to grip the ground without tearing the grass. The load distribution and geometry of the differentiated traction zones prevent holes and damage to grass roots and the lawn surface — even with intensive use. No more bald patches from spinning drive wheels.
Are replacement screws included?
Yes. The kit includes 18 stainless steel Torx screws [4×20] for secure fitting to the original Kress drive wheel. The countersunk screw holes ensure the screws sit flush with the spikes for a perfect finish.
Is it weatherproof?
Yes. The spikes are made from premium rust-proof stainless steel — corrosion-resistant, moisture-proof and temperature-stable. VarioSpike are built for year-round use, summer and winter, with zero maintenance required.
How do I fit VarioSpike to my Kress robot mower?
All you need is a screwdriver. VarioSpike mount directly onto the original Kress drive wheel using the 18 stainless steel Torx screws included in the kit. Installation takes around 10–15 minutes and requires no special tools or technical knowledge. Step-by-step instructions are included.
Can it be used on other lawnmower brands?
This version of VarioSpike is designed specifically for the Kress Mission and Kress Mission Nano models. For other robot mower brands and models, check the IdeaMower accessories catalogue to find the right version for your robot.
What is the difference between VarioSpike and standard robot mower spikes?
Standard robotic lawnmower spikes have evenly distributed spikes. VarioSpike use differentiated traction zones — spikes grouped in variable density and angle clusters to deliver optimal grip on different surfaces. Add to that Italian hand craftsmanship: countersunk deburred screw holes, polished surfaces and superior long-term wear resistance.
