Full steam ahead with the Tara!

The most popular Tubus front rack has been improved over recent years, and is well known as the indestructible burro.

The reason why this lowrider is stronger than our others, is, that the Tara has a tube diameter of it’s maintube of 14 mm.

The Tara Big Apple is a larger version of the original Tara, it’s used for bikes that have ballon and other larger width tires.

Note: When using panniers with Ortlieb’s Lower QL-1 Hooks such as the Ortlieb Roller Classic Panniers with Tubus Tara or Duo racks, adjust the pannier’s lower mounting hook. After removing the hook, rotate the grommet 90 degrees adding an additional 5 mm of width for wider rack diameters.

    Works perfect on my Novarra Safari

    Shakedown was 160 miles of gravel and pavement. All good. Easy, fast order with these guys. Wish life could always be this easy!

    Tubus Tara front pannier rack

    Stout and sturdy. We fitted this rack on our tandem for our 5-day unsupported ride through British Columbia, Canada. It helped distribute the weight of our load fore and aft and did not affect steering at all. Very pleased with our purchase?

    Eye catching Rack

    A good, firm rack that will catch the eye of my fellow bikepackers. I anticipate people unable to peel their eyes from the two big side supports and what I have hanging from them.
