Old Man Mountain Elkhorn Rack

Yes, the Elkhorn is specifically engineered to work with suspension forks. You will need a Fit Kit to mount it to the thru-axle or quick-release skewer, which allows the rack to move with the wheel rather than the frame.

Absolutely. The Elkhorn is designed to be fully interchangeable, so you can run it on the front or the rear depending on your specific gear-carrying needs for the ride.

The rack is rated for a weight capacity of 55 lbs. This is plenty for most bikepacking setups, whether you are carrying panniers, dry bags, or other gear.

The Elkhorn is highly adaptable and compatible with a wide range of bike types, including fat bikes, gravel bikes, road bikes, and even tri-bikes. Because it mounts to the axle rather than traditional braze-ons, it bypasses many of the geometry limitations found on specialized frames.

It is constructed from durable 6061 aluminum with a powder-coated finish for long-term weather resistance. The rack weighs 652g, keeping it lightweight enough to avoid significantly altering your bike's handling.
