Front Racks

A luggage rack mounted on the bike's front fork should not carry as much weight as a rear rack, but is very useful for fully loaded touring when there is too much bulk to have a rear rack alone.

Lowriders place the weight low down to minimise the effect on the bike's steering and handling, but can only be used with small-sized front pannier bags. Full-sized front racks have a flat load platform on top and can take full-size pannier bags, but be careful not to overload them.
