Product Information

Full details

The Ortlieb Quick Rack Light is designed for weight-conscious cyclists seeking a minimalist yet highly functional rack. Its primary benefit is offering robust pannier compatibility without adding significant bulk. A potential consideration is its load capacity, which, while ample for daily use, might be less than heavier-duty racks. This lightweight aluminum rack attaches quickly, allowing for easy transitions between commuting and travel, and supports all ORTLIEB panniers.
