Old Man Mountain Elkhorn Rack rear

The Elkhorn is a slender multi-tool of a rack.Whether you’re headed out to do some birding and bringing a tripod and picnic along, going on a packrafting trip for a week, a quick overnight just out of town, or riding to work, The Elkhorn is the perfect companion.

The solid deck with perimeter rail provides plentiful lashing points and the 3-pack mounts are perfect for bottle cages, cargo cages, or bolt-on bags. Ideal for keeping your gear secure and organized.

It comes ready to mount front or rear if your bike has rack mounts. If your bike doesn’t have mounts we’ve got you covered.

Stable and secure with 3-pack mounts on the uprights for your favourite cargo or bottle cages and more tie-down points on the deck than you could ever need. Front or rear compatible, the Elkhorn lets you feel the trail beneath you rather than the tail wag behind you.

Old Man Mountain racks are the most versatile racks available. Capable of mounting to suspension forks, full-suspension mountain bikes, gravel bikes, road bikes, fat bikes, even tri-bikes if that’s what you’re into.

The Elkhorn rack comes standard eyelet mount ready with extenders (top arms) for mounting to a bike with rack mounts (threaded eyelets/holes in frame) If your hardtail bike has rack mounts at the dropouts but no seatstay eyelets then the Old Man Mountain Seat Post Mount can be used to create the upper attachment point.

If your bike doesn’t have rack mounts then you need to choose the correct Fit Kit for thru-axle or quick release skewer mount. Fit Kits contain a pair of Pucks for attaching the extenders to the seat stays and a thru-axle or QR skewer. Use the below link at Old Man Mountain to find your Fit Kit.
