Tubus is a German based company that specializes in making carrier racks. While they have a wide variety of rack options for specific needs, the Tara and Cargo racks have been a staple for tourists for nearly two decades. What sets Tubus apart from their competitors? It’s their combination of light weight racks, high weight capacity, durability, and a three year replacement guarantee if your rack breaks.

CARGO (rear rack) - The Tubus Cargo comes in two sizes, one for 26″ wheeled mountain bikes and one for 700c road bikes. The weight of this rack is about 550g (1.2 lbs) when assembled and can carry a load of 40kg (88 lbs). Coupled with a great reputation and a three year guarantee, this rack is an excellent choice for any touring setup.

TARA (front rack) – The Tubus Tara weighs about 530g (1.2lbs) and can carry a load of 15kg (33lbs). Another tried and true staple to the Tubus line with a great reputation and a guarantee to back it up. Carrying less weight up front will help keep your steering relatively more agile.
