Impala Lowrider
$198.00

The Impala Lowrider is an ultra stable rack designed to carry heavy loads on gravel, paved roads, and wide trails where navigating through large rocks and tight bushes is not a concern.
The extended side frames with extra low pannier rails carry the weight of panniers on the wheel center instead of 6” above it like a standard rack, such as the Divide. This dramatically lowers the bike’s center of gravity and provides ultra stable handling.

The Impala Front Rack looks like what I need for my newest Touring Bike build. Hopefully it will be available in Spokane very soon.
The basket and low riding bags also look ideal for my front rack setup. REI Spokane is located pretty close to where I am right now, so I will ask them to please put them in stock for me.

Awesome rack. I was looking for a lowrider panier rack that did not require a through hole on the fork. This one fits the bill perfectly, plus you have the top deck to use as well. The only problem was my bikes are 29×2.6 and 29x 2.8. I built a 20mm lift for the top deck and it fits with plenty of room.
