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.

- Platform Dimensions: 20 x 16cm (LxW)
- Material: Aluminum / Stainless Steel
- Weight: 475 grams
- Place of Manufacture: Porto Alegre, Brazil
- Price: R430 (~$90 USD)

Republica Mini Porteur Rack
The Mini Porteur Rack uses a similar design as the Bikepacking Rack, including the adjustable platform and threaded leg rods, but has a larger platform and a lower attachment that can either be bolted onto the fork or directly onto your front axle. Because of the leg-to-platform attachment, both racks can be easily disassembled for storage or travel.
