Embark on your next biking expedition with Surly's phrase-defining 'Nice Rack', a Front Low/Highrider Style rack perfect for all your touring needs. Designed with the unpredictable nature of the open road in mind, Surly's racks offer unparalleled durability and functionality, catering to most pannier types.

Constructed from tubular CroMoly steel, Surly's racks are not only sturdy but also easy to repair, ensuring you are never caught out during your adventures. Coupled with resilient stainless hardware, repairs can easily be made by any local blacksmith or handyman, should your rack ever need a touch up on the journey.

The adjustable height of the Front Rack offers both low and high pannier mounting positions. Whether you are traversing rough terrains requiring your gear to be kept high and away from harm, or on smooth paths allowing for a low, stabilising load, you have the option to adapt for optimal performance. The platform situated above the wheel provides additional room for gear, making room for all essentials during your trips.

What's more, improvements to the Front Rack's hardware have ensured simpler attachment as well as compatibility with elements such as disc calipers and fenders. An added bonus comes in the form of specific attachment plates for Surly's Uni-Crown forks, increasing fork compatibility.

Compatibility extends to disc brakes on Troll, Ogre, and Disc Trucker frames from Sulry. While disc brake shape may necessitate some work for clearance, the improved attachment plates reduce the amount of adjustments needed. If required, simple solutions such as adding a washer behind the lower left bolt where the plate attaches to the fork dropout can be implemented.

Meet the Front Rack specifications:

  • Tubing Diameter: 10mm
  • Platform Dimensions: 230 x 170mm
  • Weight : 1382g

Go the extra mile with Surly's 'Nice Rack', your go-to solution for seamless and reliable bike touring.

"Nice Rack, FrontLow/Highrider StyleCro-Mo. V2.0 coming soon !"
"Nice Front Rack.Strong, reliable cro-moly. (Cro-mo can most likely be repaired if necessary even in the back of behond with someone who can carry out some kind of basic welding... an aluminum rack won't afford you the same luxury.)Height-adjustable in a lowrider/highrider design. Lowrider mounted panniers provide a more stable ride, but can be a burden when riding rocky or rutted roads and trails. The upper rails on the rack provide an alternate pannier mounting position for these type of conditions. The rack platform above the wheel increases your cargo capacity further. (Ideal for Tent etc.) Mounts directly to forks equipped with a mid-blade eyelet, located approximately 165mm from the dropout eyelet. (Touring fork standard mount.)Additional hardware to securely mount a Nice Rack on forks that do not have a mid-blade eyelet is also included.Stainless steel fixings to suit most rigid 26" and 700c forks equipped with drum, caliper, or cantilever brakes. Note: Generally not compatible with Disc brakes and suspension.Powder coated black or silver for corrosion resistance and good looks."

Surly Racks are well-thought-out, durable, expedition-worthy racks that work with most panniers. While their racks aren’t limited solely to heavy duty touring, that is what they were designed for.

When you’re out on the road, the best option is to never ever have anything ever go wrong ever. Right? That’s never a guarantee though; so having something that you can repair if it does brake can be pretty clutch. Thusly, the main bodies of Surly's front and rear racks are made from tubular CroMoly steel with stainless hardware. This means you can probably find someone out there that can torch it back into one piece in the rare instance things go south.

The front Rack is height adjustable and provides either a low or high pannier mounting position, which can be handy depending on terrain. When the ground gets rough, keep your gear high and dry. When the path is smooth and easy, you can load things low and keep everything balanced and stable, with the platform above the wheel providing yet more space for more stuff. It’s worth mentioning the Front Rack hardware has been redesigned to be simpler to attach and more compatible with things like disc calipers and fenders. Surly have also made attachment plates specifically for our Uni-Crown forks for yet more fork compatibility. This simpler design has fewer moving parts and costs less to manufacture, ergo costs less for you to purchase.

The Surly front rack WILL work with disc brakes on our Troll, Ogre, and Disc Trucker frames. It may take a bit of work to get clearance around the front caliper since the many different calipers out there are many different shapes. The new attachment plates will limit any DIY ingenuity you might need, but if you need to throw a washer or three behind the lower left bolt where the plate attaches to the fork dropout, that’s not a big deal.
