OLD MAN MOUNTAIN - IMPALA LOWRIDER FRONT RACK
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 Divide. This dramatically lowers the bike’s center of gravity and provides ultra stable handling.
Old Man Mountain racks are the most versatile racks available. Capable of mounting to full-suspension mountain bikes, gravel bikes, road bikes, even tri-bikes if that’s what you’re in to.
Want to use our rack on a bike that isn’t made for racks? Want to swap your rack between multiple bikes? A Fit Kit is all you need.
What Makes The Impala Lowrider So Special?
Ultimate Stability - Extra low pannier rails center panniers on the wheel center instead of 6” above it like a standard rack. This dramatically lowers the bike’s center of gravity and mitigates wheel flop caused by weight mounted higher up.
Carry up to 25kg - The Impala is ready to confidently carry up to 55lbs/25kg (18kg on pannier rails, 7kg on the deck).
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.
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.
