Roswheel Tour Front Rack
Balance your load. Go further. Carry more.
The Roswheel Tour Front Rack is a well-engineered, lightweight front rack built for touring cyclists, commuters, and adventure riders who need reliable front-end load carrying without adding unnecessary weight to the bike. Constructed from 6061 aluminium with a bow for increased rigidity, it delivers a strong, stable platform for panniers and bags across a wide range of bike setups.
Why Riders Choose the Tour Front Rack
6061 Aluminium Construction - Strong and Lightweight Lightweight 6061 aluminium tube construction gives the rack an excellent strength-to-weight ratio - rigid enough to handle a full touring load, light enough not to compromise the bike's handling. At just 450g, it adds minimal unsprung weight while giving you a serious carrying platform.
Triangle-Based Design for Maximum Rigidity The rack is based around the principle of the triangle being the strongest multi-sided shape - each side is kept as a continuous triangle with a ladder welded between, creating a strong yet lightweight product. The stiffening bow ties the two sides together, dramatically increasing rigidity under load compared to running unsupported arms.
14kg Total Load Capacity With a maximum load of 7kg per side and 14kg total, the Tour Front Rack handles everything from a lightweight day kit to a fully loaded touring setup - camping gear, tools, food, and clothing all within capacity.
Two Mounting Options - Fits Most Rigid Forks Two mounting options allow fit to most rigid forks, including forks with and without upper mounting points — though lower fork bosses are required. The rack is supplied with fitments for both configurations, so you don't need to source additional hardware for most common touring setups.
Disc Brake Compatible Compatible with most disc brake bikes — a meaningful differentiator from older-generation front racks that were designed around rim brake forks. Works with modern gravel, touring, and adventure bikes running disc brakes without clearance issues.
Perfect For
- Touring cyclists setting up a front-load carrying system
- Commuters carrying heavier loads who want front-end balance
- Gravel and adventure riders adding bag-carrying capacity
- Riders pairing with the Watershed pannier range for a matched front-and-rear luggage setup
Important Compatibility Note
Lower fork bosses are required for mounting — this rack is not compatible with forks that have upper eyelets only, or carbon forks without integrated mounting points. Check your fork before ordering.
Pairs With
The Roswheel Tour Front Rack is designed to work with front panniers. Pair it with the SAHOO Watershed 10L or Watershed 20L pannier for a complete, weatherproof front-load carrying setup.
