Rail System, easy to adapt to different bike racks

Rail mounting system is a patent of the German company Rixen & Kaul. We decided to include it in the offer because it is an extremely solid and universal structure that you can adapt to your bicycle rack even easier than the Click System.

The main advantages of the Rail mounting system are:

- smooth adjustment of the spacing of the upper hooks on the rail – in the Click System, adjustment takes place at designated points,
- the hook lock has a spring which reduces the play between the hook and the spring with its clamp, so that the pannier sits tightly and does not knock while cycling,
- the lower hook is adjustable in the horizontal axis and can be rotated around its axis,
- easy to adapt to different models of racks,
- possibility of disassembly with a Phillips screwdriver (e.g. for transport),
- the top rail is made of aluminum, and the hooks are made of even more durable material than in the Click System,
- the eyelets to which the handle is attached are also the attachment points for the strap for carrying the pannier on your shoulder (detailed description of the strap below);

Panniers with the Rail mounting system can be mounted on bicycle racks with a tube diameter between 8 and 16 mm. After putting on the pannier, the system adjusts itself to the diameter of the rack. If you would like to see a comparison of all our carrier systems, please read this article.

Rail System will appeal to all those who like silence while cycling and no “knocks from the back”. The snap locking method on the upper tube of the rack prevents any movement of the panniers relative to the rack.

System Rail can be adapted to almost all bicycle racks on the market thanks to the option of smooth adjustment of the spacing of the upper hooks on the rail.

The lower hook can be rotated 360 degrees and moves smoothly along the entire length of the rail, giving you the freedom to adapt the System Rail to virtually any bicycle rack on the market.

The hook lock has a spring which, with its pressure, eliminates the play between the hook and the spring, so that the bag sits tightly and does not rattle while riding.

Easy adaptation to various rack models by smooth adjustment of the upper hook spacing on the System Rail.

We have often heard from our female customers that they have to “struggle” with a heavy rear pannier to remove it from the trunk, because the lower tension hook in the Crosso System is on an elastic band. Panniers with the Rail System are extremely easy to pull off.

The lower hook is adjustable along the horizontal axis and can be rotated around its own axis.

The entire Rail System can be disassembled using a Phillips screwdriver – e.g. for transport in a box during a flight, so as not to damage your bicycle.

Panniers with Rail System also have an advantage over other mounting systems in that they can be fitted with a wide carrying strap, which is great for:

- bringing them to the second (or higher!) floor of the accomodation place,
- getting on the train quickly,
- transporting panniers by plane,
- traveling by ferry with a bicycle;

In each of these cases, adjustable, wide and therefore comfortable shoulder straps will be invaluable - the photo gallery below shows how it works exactly.
