This rack is not just a component, it´s an essential piece of equipment for any modern touring bike, designed to carry your life´s necessities securely, mile after mile.The Grand Tour has the potential to become the new Tubus classic. Its design philosophy is rooted in a perfect balance of form and function. Thanks to its narrow but highly functional loading surface, it combines exceptional stability and extreme rigidity within a subtle and elegant design. This streamlined profile ensures that the rack integrates beautifully with your bicycle´s aesthetics without compromising on carrying capability. The luggage carrier feet are also thoughtfully reduced with a minimalistic tubular design, further enhancing its clean and sophisticated look.One of the standout features of the Grand Tour is its innovative dual-level loading system. A second, lower rail for attaching your panniers is a game-changer for handling and stability. By mounting your bags lower, you significantly decrease your bike´s center of gravity. This results in a much more stable and predictable ride, reducing sway and improving control, especially when navigating challenging terrain or winding descents with a full load. This intelligent design also leaves the top platform completely free, providing a dedicated space for larger items like a tent, sleeping bag, or a trunk bag, allowing you to organize your gear with maximum efficiency.Don´t let its refined appearance fool you, the Grand Tour is a true workhorse. It easily packs the impressive 26 kg (57.3 lbs) load, a capacity that has been rigorously tested up to 40 kg, giving you complete peace of mind when carrying heavy gear. This incredible strength makes it almost essential on modern touring bikes built for long-haul expeditions. It will also serve you loyally for many years thanks to its second loading level and the smart inclusion of eyelets, which give you the possibility of using tension belts across or along the carrier. This versatility allows you to securely strap down irregularly shaped items, ensuring everything stays put, no matter how rough the road gets. The Tubus Grand Tour is more than just a pannier rack—it´s your ticket to a world of exploration, built to last and designed to perform.Specifications:* Material: 25CrMo4* Wheel Size Compatibility: 26´´ | 28´´* Weight (approx.): 760 g | 26.8 oz* Maximum Load: 26 kg | 57.3 lbs (Independently tested to 40 kg)* Tube Diameter: 10 / 12 mm | 0.4 / 0.5 in
