It's time for an Adventure...Rack!
The Xtracycle Pannier Racks (aka P-Racks) replace your existing
V-racks to add
bike panniers to your versatile Xtracycle setup. Made from Aluminum, this light-weight, ridged addition is great for outfitting your Xtracycle for off-road adventures or long tours with bike panniers. There is room for two panniers on each rack, for a total carrying capacity of four panniers, plus any top-loading you may do.
You can mix and match your set up by using an Xtracycle Pannier Rack on one side and a
Xtracycle V-Racks with
FreeLoader SaddleBags on the other side and mounting either the
SnapDeck or
TekDeck between; whatever combination you choose will be sleek, light, and functionally awesome.
The
Whatchamacollars are required if you'd like to run a Pannier Rack without a SnapDeck or TekDeck. When using a pair of Pannier Racks with the TekDeck, one set of Whatchamacollars is required and two sets is recommended for a very sturdy fit.
A set of
Xtracycle Cam Straps is very helpful for securing many brands of bicycle panniers to the Pannier Racks. The Xtracycle Pannier Rack rail is 10mm. Panniers such as those by
Ortleib, Vaude and
Racktime will mount to the 10mm rail of the Pannier Rack and require a set of Cam Straps to hold the bottom of the panniers against the FreeRadical Frame. Panniers with spring loaded tensioners such as those by
Jandd, also mount to the 10mm rail. Their lower mounting hooks can often be hooked to the frame without requiring the use of the Cam Straps. Given the wide array of panniers on the market, we cannot guarantee that all will easily secure to the Pannier Racks.
