Continuing our new round of Collective Reward giveaways, the Tumbleweed team is setting up a couple of randomly selected site supporters with one of their expedition-ready Macro Pannier Racks. Find details here…

Our 246th Collective Reward comes courtesy of Tumbleweed Bicycle Co. in Idaho, makers of highly celebrated bikepacking and mountain touring bikes and accessories built to carry riders around the world and back again. If you’re a regular reader, the small brand needs no introduction, but you may have missed their recent release of the Tumbleweed Macro Pannier Rack. Building on the proven design of the original Pannier Rack, it adds further versatility with a standalone pannier-mounting rail beneath the top deck. A pair of Bikepacking Collective members will take one home in their choice of height and color for our latest giveaway, a $165 for each lucky winner.

Weighing in at 772 grams, the Macro Pannier Rack boasts an impressive 65-pound weight limit, though we don’t recommend carrying that much unless absolutely necessary. Featuring a generous upper deck, wide support legs, dual pannier mounting locations, triple mounting bosses, and two heights (355mm and 380mm) to choose from, it opens up options for how and where you haul your cargo. It’s fuss-free to install, too, mounting without the need for axle mounts, spacers, or adapters. A simple multi-tool will do.

tumbleweed macro pannier rack review

Miles spent time on the rugged Baja Divide route during his testing period for his in-depth review of the Macro Pannier Rack, praising its high load limit, reasonable weight, straightforward bolt-on design, and versatility as a front or rear rack. He concluded that it’s a true do-anything rack, well-suited to all packing styles, and the first rack he’d reach for when packing for a remote, multi-day trip.
