The Tubus Racktime Eco 2.0 Tour rear rack embodies German excellence in the service of bicycle touring. Designed by Tubus Carrier Systems GmbH in Münster, this model combines robustness, lightness and versatility to accompany your tours, daily commutes or major bikepacking adventures. With its 12 mm aluminum structure, its 25 kg load capacity and its dual-level mounting system for panniers, it's the ideal companion to transform your bike into a true travel machine.

Technical Overview

The Racktime Eco 2.0 Tour stands out with its Tour architecture: the main tubes of 12 mm diameter (guaranteeing maximum stability) are complemented by 10 mm side bars positioned lower, creating a second attachment level. This design lowers the center of gravity of the load and optimizes bike balance, even when heavily loaded. Weighing 920 g (28-inch version, flap included) or 820 g (26-inch version), it remains ultralight despite its capacity. The integrated spring-loaded flap secures clothing or top bags without additional straps.

Technical Highlights

• Dual pannier mounting system: the classic upper platform + lowered side bars allow you to attach your touring panniers via traditional hooks, straps or the Snapit system (first generation), offering total modularity.
• Snapit compatibility: accepts all first-generation Snapit accessories (baskets, bags, supports) for quick and secure clipping, transforming your rack into a modular hub.
• Adjustable mounting struts: the roundstays (round struts) adapt to different frame geometries, facilitating mounting on a wide variety of bikes equipped with M5 eyelets.
• Integrated light mount: flat mounting plate with 50 mm center distance for battery or dynamo rear light, ensuring nighttime visibility and safety.
• German construction: manufactured by Tubus Carrier Systems in Münster, Germany, recognized worldwide for the reliability and longevity of its handcrafted racks.
