Reviews over the

Tubus DUO Lowrider

Pros & Cons

I knew tubus racks had a reputation for being really good pannier racks and this was confirmed when I bought a tubus logo evo rear pannier. This easily convinced me to seek out a tubus front pannier rack. The solid build and simple yet stylish design of the DUO was exactly what I was looking for.

The duo lowrider is the coolest design of all the possible front racks for my bike (a Surly disc trucker) but beware: you must have fixings inside and outside of your front forks, and the disc calliper is going to get in the way, making it necessary to use a spacer long enough to allow the rack to sit outside the calliper.

Pros & Cons

The item was delivered very quickly (delivery from European countries is always faster than from within the UK). The rack is up to Tubus' usual high standards. Once I had determined which length bolts I needed to use, it took less than 10 minutes to fit and adjust the rack. I have not yet used it for carrying a load, so I cannot yet make a comment on this, but my hopes are high.
