Roswheel Tour Lightweight Rear Rack

All the rack you need. None of the weight you don't.

The Roswheel Tour Lightweight Rear Rack is built for city commuters, urban riders, and light tourers who want a solid, reliable rear platform without the bulk and weight of a fully loaded expedition rack. Designed specifically for lightweight touring or inner city use, it's the smarter choice for riders who carry a pannier or two on the daily commute rather than a fully packed touring setup.

Why Riders Choose the Tour Lightweight Rear Rack

6061 Aluminium - Capable Despite Its Weight Though constructed with lightweight 6061 aluminium, this rack is more than capable of carrying heavy loads: the material choice keeps the rack at just 550g, a full 230g lighter than the standard Tour Rear Rack, without compromising structural integrity for everyday use.

20kg Load Capacity - More Than Enough for Daily Riding With a 20kg maximum load capacity, the Lightweight Rear Rack handles a full set of commuter panniers, grocery loads, and day-touring kit comfortably. For riders who don't need the 25kg ceiling of the standard Tour Rear Rack, this is the more agile and practical choice.

Two Mounting Feet - Fits Road, Tour, and Mountain Bikes Two mounting feet provide adaptability to any road, touring, or mountain bike with rack bosses, with a maximum axle width of 142mm that accommodates modern disc brake dropouts without modification.

Two Seat-Stay Mounting Options Two seat-stay mounting options cover both caliper brake mounts and regular rack mounts - a meaningful flexibility advantage that lets the rack fit a wider range of frame configurations, including older rim brake bikes and modern disc setups, without needing additional adapters for most builds.

Unique Rear Light Mount A unique rear light mount option is built into the rack design: keeping your tail light positioned correctly even when panniers are mounted, without having to compromise your seatpost setup or visibility.

Universal Wheel Size Compatibility Fits 26", 27.5", 650B, and 700C wheels with tyres up to 50mm wide and mudguards, with a maximum axle width of 142mm — covering road, gravel, commuter, and most touring wheel standards. Note the 50mm tyre limit versus 60mm on the standard Tour Rear Rack.

Important Compatibility Note

Rack bosses on the frame are required for mounting. Maximum tire width is 50mm: riders running wider tires should consider the standard Tour Rear Rack which accommodates up to 60mm.

Perfect For

• Daily commuters running one or two panniers
• Urban riders who want rack capacity without expedition weight
• Light tourers on weekend trips or overnighters
• Riders pairing with the Watershed pannier range for an everyday carry setup

How It Compares to the Tour Rear Rack

The Lightweight Rear Rack saves 230g and suits riders who don't need the full 25kg capacity or 60mm tire clearance of the standard model. If you're fully loading up for multi-week tours or running wide gravel tires, step up to the Tour Rear Rack. For everything else, the Lightweight is the cleaner, more practical choice.
