Tailfin launches an affordable alloy Journey Rack as a modular rear rack system replacing an older Alloy Rack. The patented axle-mounting system attaches through the rear wheel rather than the bike frame, reducing stress on frame mounts and improving compatibility across many bike types and frame materials. The rack’s tri-pivot geometry allows movement with suspension compression to maintain stability on suspended off-road rides. Two versions are offered: one with pannier mounts and one minimalist version without pannier mounts. Both install and remove in seconds using a tool-free quick-release mechanism. The rack folds flat for storage and travel and supports panniers, top bags, cargo cages, or strapped-down gear for commuting and long-distance bikepacking.
"The new design uses a patented axle-mounting system that attaches through the rear wheel rather than the bike frame. This reduces stress on frame mounts and allows compatibility across a wider range of bike types, frame designs, and frame materials. That includes full-suspension mountain bikes, gravel, road, and touring bikes. The rack's tri-pivot geometry lets the rack move with suspension compression, maintaining stability during suspended off-road rides."
"The Journey Rack comes in two versions: One option has pannier mounts is for use with, well, panniers. And the other is a more minimalist version for use without panniers. Both can be installed or removed in seconds using a quick-release mechanism that requires no tools. A cool new feature is that when the Journey Rack is not in use, it folds flat for long-term storage, packing, or travel without the need for a rear rack."
"It also has the ability support many different cargo options, like the aforementioned panniers, top bags, cargo cages, or simply strapped-down gear. This makes it more than ready for your daily commute, weekend trips, or some proper long-distance bikepacking adventures. The Journey Rack's redesign incorporates nearly a decade of rider feedback and testing from the original Alloy Rack. Key improvements include a stronger top deck, redesigned quick-release dropouts, more versatile mounting options, a"
