Our inspiring review is coming soon, for now here is what Arkel says:

With its dual attachment points, the Arkel Randonneur Rack is designed to combine both strength and stability with a very lightweight structure. The vertical load is carried by the seat rails while the seat post abutment point provides the exceptional lateral and vertical stability to the system. Moreover, the soft rubber seat post bracket acts like a shock absorber to dampen shocks from rough road conditions.

They Said it Couldn't be Done

As I converted to a carbon fiber frame (2024 Trek Domane SL5) the experts said I couldn't mount a rack on the back. True, except for this one, designed to shift the weight to the titanium seat rails. It carries the few items easier to mount on a rack than in a seat bag (as an aging rider I like to swap my cycling shoes for slides at the rest stops). This product is brilliantly designed for the purpose, and nicely crafted. Order and delivery were handled well by the retailer. Consider me a happy camper.
