Old Man Mountain Elkhorn Rear Rack
Best versatile rack for cyclists with non traditional bike frames.
This is the ultimate problem-solver for bikepackers who refuse to be limited by their frame geometry. It offers incredible versatility and rock-solid stability for full-suspension rigs, though you sacrifice the minimalist aesthetic of a frame bag for the sheer utility of a dedicated, go-anywhere rack.
