Overlander Bike Gear, a new company based out of Alberta, Canada, is manufacturing some unique bikepacking-specific racks, mounts, and accessories. With the official launch of their website, here’s a quick look at what they are offering and a bit about the company…

A few months ago I heard about a new bikepacking gear company out of Alberta, Canada. However, it wasn’t until the grand depart of the 2018 BC Epic 1000 when I was able to see some of Overlander Bike Gear’s racks in person. There I met Bryan Teeuwen, who happened to be testing them out on his Norco Torrent during the race. Now, a couple months later, Tony Braun has officially launched Overlander Bike Gear’s website with some interesting new racks. Here’s a little bit more about his background and the products he’s currently offering.

Tony currently lives in Alberta, Canada, and has always been an avid cyclist. From racing BMX as a kid, to mountain biking and road cycling as a teenager, to racing motorcycles and motocross as a young adult, it’s clear that Tony has a passion for life on two wheels. Over the past 27 years he has worked as a journeyman welder and fabricator, which explains how quickly he was able to develop and evolve the racks into what we see today.

Handlebar Rack: (704g) $145 CAD / Light Bar: $42 CAD / Handlebar Cage Mount: $20 CAD

Overlander Bike Gear is currently offering a handlebar rack, dropper post rack, handlebar bottle cage mount, suspension fork mount (with options for dual bottle mounts), and a light bar add-on for the handlebar rack. And there are more products coming soon. Each rack is designed to limit interference with suspension, offer a stable place to secure a dry bag, and by the looks of it, minimize rubbing and frame wear.

“I have always enjoyed designing and building anything from intake system on an small aircraft to a CNC plasma table. I enjoy reading about designing and new technology. Quality, functionality and esthetics have always been important to me. I enjoy the challenge of designing and building for the bike packing industry, while looking for the right balance between weight and durability.” – Tony Braun, Overlander Bike Gear
