Collective Reward #033: Pelago Front Racks

For our latest Collective Reward, our friends at Pelago Bicycles up in Helsinki are setting up three Bikepacking Collective members with a front rack of their choosing. In total, there are six different offerings to suit your unique needs. Increase the hauling capacity of your grocery getter, dial in your basketpacking rig, or throw on some front panniers for your next expedition-style tour. The choice is yours, and you’ve got options!

Note: Only our Bikepacking Collective members residing in Europe are eligible for this giveaway.

Commuter Racks

Pelago’s Commuter Front Rack is a classic porteur-style rack that works great for anything from daily commuting to longer tours. Carry your school books, camping gear, pizza, whatever. And they have additional attachment points for panniers, as well as a mounting bracket for a front light.

They’re built from stainless steel, meaning they’re super durable and reasonably lightweight. The included mounting brackets make them super versatile, fitting most bikes with 700c or 26″ wheels. The Pelago Commuter Front Rack is available in black or silver, and sizes medium or large. See details on both below:

Rasket

As you might imagine, the Pelago Rasket is a hybrid rack and basket. The combination of a sturdy rack base and the practicality of a basket makes for a versatile front hauler that won’t sway or flex. It’s a great way to keep snacks, layers, and other useful stuff at hand while riding, and it even has attachment points for panniers for those times when the basket’s capacity isn’t quite enough.

Just like the Commuter Racks, the Rasket is constructed from hardwearing stainless steel, and it also includes mounting brackets that make it a breeze to install on most 700c or 26″ wheeled bikes. It comes in either black or polished silver, and a mounting bracket for a front light included as well.

Rasket Specs:

• Length: 325mm
• Width: 385mm
• Height: 150mm
