Optimum load distribution
The triumph of the bicycle in everyday life and on holiday is unstoppable. Increasingly, bikes are being loaded with heavy loads. Those who can optimally distribute the load are therefore well advised.
Front carriers ensure better load distribution and can be useful in many situations. In addition, lowriders not only place the weight at the front, but also as low as possible. Unfortunately, not every model fits every bike, so check carefully before buying. For a better overview, we have divided the different carriers into four categories; front carriers that carry the load above the bike, handlebar carriers, lowriders (carriers with very low bag holders) and carriers for suspension forks.
