Great quality rack
Fitting it to the bike was a piece of cake, nice fit just as suggested in the chat rooms, the quality is obvious and my ortieb low riders look great fitted. Only time will tell the rack's durability, but quite honestly the internet feedback is pretty robust. Mantel were very efficient even in the current crisis.

Great quality product from a great on-line bike shop
I can see why Tubus have such a good reputation now. Very sturdy and well made. Worth paying for the quality so you have piece of mind so it won't fail mid tour.

Still the best.
Just get this and don't bother looking elsewhere. Still the No. 1 lowrider rack.

A very good rack though not cheap
This rack is strong and well-designed, much better than the previous front pannier rack I've been using. Minor grypes are that I was expecting to get a silver finish rack, and that the bottom lugs are very thick for accommodating old-fashioned pannier hooks and required some modification.

Perfect front rack.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Sturdy rack
As says on the box is just what expected, but tubing over the wheel seems bit longer than needed even for 700c wheel. Also that tube is quite a wide diameter for Ortlieb clip. Having said that it is very sturdy and did just fine on recent tour.

Fantastic
Nice tough looking rack fits nicely with disc brakes. Have done a couple hundred miles so far and having the bags down low really boosts the stability of the bike. Would highly recommend!

excellent
This is a very strong frame, which is the expected standard for the Tubus brand.

Suprisingly lightweight rack, excellent quality as expected from market leader Tubus.
Prompt delivery and very well packaged. Will recommend Mantel and certainly use them again

Well-made, easy to fit, carry panniers low
Fitted the Tubus Tara to a 2009 Specialized Tricross, which has bosses inset in a carbon front fork. The Tara was supplied with most of the fittings needed, and is lightweight and well-made. I needed to source two self-locking nuts to secure the mudguard stays to their new location on the Tara. The horizontal bars were nowhere near horizontal after fitting, but putting them on upside down sorted that out. Just be aware then that the end stop on the horizontal bar may become ineffective in stopping a pannier sliding off.
