They have been designed around the core belief that every journey is not just about the destination, it’s about enjoying the ride.

Tailfin rack, pannier bags, skewer & adapter pins For any road, hybrid, touring or cyclocross bicycle During this campaign we invited riders from a local cycling club and from Facebook to come and try out Tailfin. We filmed them comparing Tailfin to other viable options for carrying gear on your road bike. This was the result: The Tailfin rack is adaptable to the majority of road bikes, and is both is ultra-light and quick release. Both the rack and bag are designed to complement your road bike beautifully. It weighs 275grams and can take a load of up to 18kg's/40lbs. The Tailfin panniers contain a rigid backbone to keep items stable in transit and reduce any sway or swing whilst cycling. Each pannier has a sizeable capacity of 24 Litres, with the ability to accommodate even the largest 17” laptop, if used for commuting. The Tailfin rack & panniers blend perfectly together and the rack can accomodate other pannier brands thanks to our innovative design. Tailfin rack with different pannier options

Connect to any road bike, without tools, in seconds The majority of road bicycles have two different skewer lengths. Bicycles with rim brakes are narrower at the rear (130mm hub width). Those with disc brakes are wider at the rear (135mm hub width). Often these require different skewer lengths. The Tailfin skewer and lower rack connection is awesome because it is designed to accommodate both widths...

Ultra limited neon green rack Before creating the carbon part we first worked with 3D printed and metal prototypes to iterate and improve the design. One of the metal prototypes Creating a light and elegant product was important to us, but it was also critical that Tailfin's function was as good or better than existing racks & panniers. By utilizing carbon fiber as the main material, Tailfin is ultra rigid. We created both a static and a dynamic test rig to ensure the rack was tested beyond industry standards (EN 14872-2006).
