A solid rear rack is the foundation of any good carrying-stuff-on-your-bike setup: It enables you to attach other components to your bike and get a heavy pack off your back. After considering 38 models and testing eight top contenders, we’re confident the Topeak Explorer is the best rack for the average commuter.

Topeak Explorer Bicycle Rack with Disc Brake Mounts

For bikes with disc brakes
This rack was the easiest to install on bikes with disc brakes—these require a different mount than rim-brake bikes—and felt equally stable carrying heavy panniers.
We recommend

Cheaper but less sturdy
It’s not the toughest bike rack we tested, but it installs easily and performs better under load better than most of the others.
