Brazil-based Republica Bicicletas just released two new front racks that both feature an interesting threaded leg adjustment. Find more details and photos here…

Feeding the gravel and bikepacking scene in Porto Alegre, Brazil, Republica Bicicletas is no stranger to designing and manufacturing custom racks for their customers. Their small team has been working on some new stock front rack options for a few years now, and we’re excited to share the final design, which is now available to purchase from their web store. Find details on their Bikepacking Rack and Mini Porteur Rack below.

Republica Bikepacking Rack

The Bikepacking Rack is a low-profile front rack that can support large handlebar bags, baskets, boxes, or luggage. It features a unique threaded M6x1.0 bar for vertical leg adjustment, from 24cm to 42cm, that’s easily replaceable if needed. It has a fixed fork crown mount, but the platform angle is adjustable thanks to the bolt-on design of the legs.

Because of the leg-to-platform attachment, both racks can be easily disassembled for storage or travel.
