When we decided that we were going to build touring racks back in 1994, we knew that ours would be different. We wanted our racks to perform to a much higher standard compared with all of the other racks on the market. We knew ours would look different. We were quite certain that ours would perform differently. We also were very confident that ours would function better because we started using racks more than 20 years ago that incorporated features like integrated braze-on pannier mounting, braze-on lighting systems and strap guides. They were features developed out of need. They were ideas that made racks perform better - that nobody had ever heard of. Nobody had ever heard of them because the ideas were ours. We knew our racks would set a new standard of performance because we spent the last 20 years working on ideas to make racks perform better.
Sakkit Touring racks do perform better because we've developed many features that, like the ones of two decades ago, were born out of a need to make racks more functional. We needed to give our panniers more support and stability, so we nearly doubled the support of any other rack. We knew our panniers would be more functional if they had fore/aft adjustability without sacrificing support, so we designed Sakkit racks with that in mind. We needed far more functional platforms, Sakkit racks have them. From our telescoping, adjustable front rack platform to our PivotMount rear rack attachment, and from our PivotLoc integral pannier locking mechanism to our front mid/high rack design, we developed many ways to improve rack performance. Sakkit Touring racks are the new standard of excellence.
