Impala Lowrider Front Rack (CTN6) (LOW001)

Impala Lowrider Front Rack (CTN6) (LOW001)
The Impala Lowrider brings Old Man Mountain’s rugged and reliable off-road reputation and aesthetics to a classic rack form. The Impala Lowrider expands on the low and stable pannier carrying position by adding a cargo deck for more space and easy access while riding.
 
The Impala Lowrider is an ultra stable rack designed to carry heavy loads on gravel, paved roads, and wide trails where navigating through large rocks and tight bushes is not a concern. The extended side frames with extra low pannier rails carry the weight of panniers on the wheel center instead of 6” above it like a standard rack, such as the Old Man Mountain Divide. This dramatically lowers the bike’s center of gravity and mitigates wheel flop caused by weight mounted higher up.
 
Finding the perfect bikepacking setup is a negotiation of needs and desires. If the route allows for bag clearance closer to the ground the Impala Lowrider rack is a superior carrying position compared to higher bag placement.

What Makes The Impala Lowrider So Special?

Ultimate Stability
Extra low pannier rails centre panniers on the wheel centre instead of 6” above it like a standard rack. This dramatically lowers the bike’s centre of gravity and mitigates wheel flop caused by weight mounted higher up.

Adjustable Dropouts
Using our adjustable Dropout system, the Impala Lowrider fits 26, 27.5, 650B, or 29″ wheels with tires up to 2.3″ wide, and still has room for fenders.

Platform Deck
Unlike most other lowrider racks on the market, the Impala has a cargo platform above the wheel keeping your gear easy to access without cluttering up your handlebars.
