Old Man Mountain Makes Racks for All

There are so many different bikes out there, all with unique sizes and geometry. Fitting a rack to your bike is not always easy. Old Man Mountain has an option for any kind of bike, with their adventure ready racks giving cyclists options to carry gear for whatever they want to take on. Gravel bikes, road bikes, fatbikes, full suspension, hardtails and everything in between, Old Man Mountain has a Fit Kit to put a rack on it.

Mountain bikers and bikepackers for many years have been experiencing problems with carrying cargo during their rides. They are riding hills with backpacks filled with snacks or heavy dangling bags and cups clumsily strapped to a saddle and seatpost. And with no mounting options for racks on their (suspension) bikes it was a hopeless situation.

In recent years a new trend has occurred that brings riders more stability, safety and comfort while riding their bike with gear, getting the weight off riders backs and on to their bikes. Adding a rack to your gravel or mountain bike is something more and more people do while going on a trip or a long weekend ride. Since the set-up is relatively new in the world of gravel biking and mountain biking it’s sometimes a refreshingly odd sight, turning heads along the way. Old Man Mountain racks are the most versatile racks available. Capable of mounting to full-suspension mountain bikes, gravel bikes, road bikes, fat bikes, even tri-bikes if that’s what you’re in too"

Introduced in 2021, the Divide is the evolution of their rugged and reliable Classic rack. Eyelet, thru axle, or quick-release skewer mountable, the Divide fits Gravel and Road bikes, Full suspension and hardtail bikes, even Tri bikes! The Divide Fat fits all fat bikes and larger Plus tires. The Divide dropout design is extremely versatile, making the divide front or rear ready. Even on the most rugged terrain or jumping through the air, the Divide has a massive 55lb/25kg carrying capacity when eyelet mounted and a 70lb/33kg capacity when axle mounted using one of their Fit Kits. The Divide is made to fit up to 3″ tires with room for mud, and the Divide Fat fits all fat bike tires. With height adjustable dropouts, the Divide has plenty of room for fenders, even with large tires. A low pannier rail makes it easier to take bags off with gear lashed to the deck. It also lowers the center of gravity making the bike more stable.

Stable and secure, the more minimal Elkhorn rack is set to come out in Summer 2022. With 3-pack mounts on the uprights for your favorite cargo or bottle cages and more tie-down points on the deck than you could ever need, the Elkhorn lets you feel the trail beneath you rather than the tail wag behind you. The rack comes in two versions, a Tall, and a Short. The Short is designed for 27.5 and 700c wheels. Fits tires up to 27.5 x 2.8″ or 700c x 50mm. The Tall is designed for maximum mud clearance and bikes with 29″ tires. Fits tires up to 29 x 3.25″. Eyelet mount ready for front or rear the Elkhorn can also be thru axle or QR skewer mounted using the same Fit Kits as the Divide rack. All Old Man Mountain racks are backed by a Lifetime Warranty, so between their warranty and their Fit Kits you can be confident that this will be the last rack you ever need.
