Old Man Mountain Elkhorn Rear Rack
Best versatile rack for bikepackers with suspension forks or unique frames.
This rack is the ultimate chameleon for your bike, mounting seamlessly to either the front or rear depending on your load. Its slim, aluminum build keeps weight impressively low for trail riding, though you sacrifice the massive carrying capacity of a traditional touring rack for that sleek, agile profile.
