Details
To keep the price of our racks as low as possible, we accept seconds from our rack shop, this minimises the number of rejects being scrapped in the manufacturing process. The rack you will receive will have either some small section of missing weld, a blow hole, defective paint or a small piece of weld trapped in one of the tubes that will rattle. These issues won't affect the racks structural integrity and we still guarantee them in the normal way.

Perfect for adventure touring, cycle camping, carrying the shopping, whatever you need to do.

We believe that our Thorn carriers are the strongest carriers on the market, they have been used in extreme conditions, with massive weights and nobody has broken one yet that we know of!

The Expedition Rack has 5 cross members to allow precise and non-slip positioning of your panniers. This also provides a great surface for rack top bags / baskets.
Our carriers are made from 10mm seamless, cold drawn, heat treated, aerospace Cr-Mo steel.
We have our tubes heat treated which makes a significant difference to the Ultimate Tensile Strength but can cause some slight imperfections in the straightness. – when fitting, please be aware you make need to tweak the rack slightly but we can assure you this does not affect the strength in any way.
A mount for your rear light is supplied.

Dimensions - 380mm long x 130mm wide.
Height 350mm from lower mounting bolt to rack top.
Weight - 860g
5 tubes for the load surface!

Max load when used on surfaced roads;
When fitted with 6mm screws - 60kg
When fitted with 5mm screws - 40kg
These figures should be halved when being used on rough track.

Cycling Plus Recommended - Best Rear Rack for Expeditions.

Note - This Product is not designed to pull a trailer or attachment of child seats.

ConsNone.
ProsStrength/light weight.
Don't let the one one-star review put you off. This is a superb, simple and elegant rack. I've carried 30kg over very rough and rocky dirt track for miles with the bike bouncing all over the place and it is rock steady. Tubus racks are strong, but this is clearly stronger for more or less the same weight. The steel is heat treated.

Thorn Expedition Rack. How Much Does It Weigh?
By

Does the thorn fit any standard touring frame? I also wonder what the difference is between Blackburn expedition 1 and the 1+ as tho' you give a weight difference I can see nothing else. The criteria for me are a) rigidity b) a good width top for a tent or whatever and c) no secondary panier hook bars impeding the use of the standard top bars. Thanks.
Hi, the weight of the Thorn rack is 860g. The difference in the two Blackburn racks is down to the finish & top plate tube diameter, the EX1 is the newer model, is matt Black & has a tube diameter where you would hang panniers of 9mm. The EX1+ has a gloss Black finish & has a tube diameter of 8mm. Regards
