SALSA CYCLES ALTERNATOR RACK 135 LOW DECK｜Dedicated rear rack for stable, low-center-of-gravity loading
A 135mm Alternator-specific low deck rear rack designed to carry cargo low and stable.
For long-distance touring and bike packing, not only the carrying capacity but also where the luggage is placed greatly affects riding performance. The SALSA CYCLES ALTERNATOR RACK 135 LOW DECK is a rear rack developed specifically for Salsa frames that use 135mm wide Alternator dropouts.
Compared to conventional models, the deck position is lower and the width is slimmer, allowing luggage to be placed with a lower center of gravity. It ensures high compatibility with 29x2.1-inch tires and 700c + fender specifications, while achieving stable loading.
It adopts a high-strength 6061-T6 aluminum tube structure and can carry up to 27kg. This tough specification allows you to safely carry luggage even on rough dirt roads or long-distance tours.
Practical details such as large pannier hook stops and two types of long struts are also abundant. It is a highly reliable rear rack that will be your trusted travel companion.

The appeal of the low deck specification becomes apparent when you actually ride with luggage. By lowering the loading position, the center of gravity becomes stable, making it easier to maintain natural handling even on dirt roads, downhill slopes, and with a fully loaded bike.
It's particularly well-suited for those who enjoy touring and camping rides on Alternator-equipped models such as the Fargo and Timberjack. If you're considering a pannier-centric loading style, this rear rack offers a surprisingly significant contribution to riding performance.
