Arkel AC Lowrider Rack
Arkel AC Lowrider Rack
The AC LowRider is incredibly solid and easy to install. It’s designed to carry panniers closer to the ground; this lowers the center of gravity of the load and improves handling. Your front panniers will mount low, but maintain plenty of ground clearance, ensuring the panniers won’t scrape the ground. This is important as some larger front panniers might hit the ground when mounted on front racks that don’t offer as much ground clearance, this is especially true with 26” wheels. The AC LowRider’s clever adjustable arm allows you to level off the top of the rack no matter the position on the fork. The spacer ensures the rack doesn’t damage the fork’s finish, whatever its shape.
Compatible with all hydraulic brakes and some mechanical disc brakes.
Not compatible with the following mechanical disc brakes: Hayes CX Expert, Shimano CX77, Promax Render, and Avid BB7 and BB5.
The fork on your bike must have lower eyelets to be able to install this rack. If your bike has a fork equipped with both lower and mid-fork eyelets, the hardware that comes with the rack is all you will need. If your bike only has the lower eyelet on the fork, you will need to use a set of band clamps for the upper attachment point.
