What to Compare Before Buying
- Wheel size and fit: This rack is for 26-700C bikes. Make sure that matches the bike you plan to use it on.
- Load requirement: The stated capacity is up to 35 kg. Compare that with the weight of the luggage you expect to carry.
- Mounting points: The rack comes with multi-mount fittings, so check that your bike has suitable mounting points.
- Pannier and rack-bag use: The separate pannier rail is relevant if you want to use panniers and a rack pack together.
Compatibility, Size and Fit
The main fit check is the 26-700C size marking. Confirm that this matches the bike you are fitting it to before ordering.
The rack is also described as a rear rack, so it is intended for the back of the bike rather than the front. The included fittings and three support stays are part of the fitting setup and should be checked against the bike’s mounting points and layout.
What Else You May Need
You may need a bike with suitable rear mounting points for the supplied fittings. If you plan to carry panniers or a rack pack, check that the bag system you choose works with the rack layout.
Before You Decide
Confirm the 26-700C fit, the stated 35 kg load capacity and the rear mounting arrangement before choosing this rack. Check whether your bike has the points needed for the supplied fittings, and make sure the rack layout suits the luggage system you plan to use.
