OLD MAN MOUNTAIN Elkhorn Short Rack｜Versatile Short Rack for Agility and Cargo Capacity
When a bag alone isn't quite enough, but you don't need large panniers. This rack offers just the right balance.
The OLD MAN MOUNTAIN Elkhorn Short Rack is a bike-packing carrier that perfectly balances agile riding with high cargo capacity.
It's highly versatile, mountable on both front and rear, making it suitable for everything from travel to daily use. In addition to a wide top deck, it features eyelets for cargo cages on the sides, allowing for flexible loading styles.
The main frame is constructed from 6061 aluminum with 13mm diameter tubing. This ensures sufficient strength with a load capacity of 11kg, while maintaining lightness.
The top deck also includes slots for securing luggage and holes for light mounts, making it exceptionally practical for bike-packing. It's perfectly designed for those who want to carry necessary items smartly without the bulk of full panniers.
Furthermore, with a separately sold fit kit, it can be mounted on frames without dedicated rack eyelets. It can be mounted to thru-axles or QR skewers, making it compatible with a wide range of bikes, including gravel and mountain bikes.
Its high clearance, accommodating up to 27.5x2.8 and 700x50c tires, is another attractive feature. This rack significantly expands your "loading freedom," from city riding to camping tours.
