Rene Herse M-13 Wide Front Rack for Cantilever Brakes

$199.00

Equip your bike with one of the lightest, most elegant racks ever made. The Rene Herse M-13 rack fits many bikes with cantilever brakes.

The Rene Herse M-13 rack is fillet-brazed from superlight and super-strong Cromoly steel tubing, with a plated finish for durability. The elegant tabs for mounting the rack to the cantilever bosses are brazed into the ends of the rack support tubes, like dropouts on a classic bicycle frame. (Other racks often use plates welded to the ends of the tubes or just squeeze the tubes and drill a hole.) At 180 g, the M-13 Extralight is one of the lightest racks available today.

The optional ‘standing’ light mount that gives you a choice among a wide range of lights. (Use with Rene Herse Light Mounting Bolt.)

Also available without light mount. (Two eyelets give you the option of mounting a light using the Rene Herse Light Mount.)

Pro Tip: The M-13 rack requires a distance between fork crown and centerpull bosses of 100 mm. If your bike’s specs are different, use the adjustable Rene Herse UD-2 rack.
