Tubus Logo, Tubus Cargo or the Jongerius Travel Carrier?

Which type of pannier rack should you choose for your holiday bike? We're often asked which type of pannier rack is best for a cycling holiday, so we're happy to explain the differences between the best pannier racks for your trip around the world.

If you're looking for a good rack for carrying a lot of luggage, you'll almost automatically end up at Tubus. Tubus is part of Racktime, but while Racktime makes all its racks from aluminum, Tubus has chosen to make them from extra-strong 25CrMo4 Chromo steel, which allows for a much higher load capacity than aluminum and significantly reduces the risk of breakage.

Because a Chromo rack is much more stable than an aluminum rack, you'll definitely notice this when descending with a lot of luggage. To make your rack even more stable, we developed the Jongerius rack stabilizer, which stabilizes the mounting rods of your rack. View this rack stabilizer here.

The Tubus luggage carriers are approved for a load of 26 kilos but tested with a load of 40 kilos.
