Tortec Transalp Disc Rack
Features:
The TRANSALP is specifically designed for bikes with disc brakes. Simple and super quick to mount to 26” and 700c bikes. Produced from lightweight 10mm alloy tubing and with additional lower pannier mounting rails means it’s easy to attach a rack pack without interfering with pannier hooks.
- Max load 25kg
- 5 Year warranty
- Black or Silver options
Miss HiltonAbsolutely fantastic piece of equipment. Easy to assemble, quick delivery!
Dr LEWISNot beautiful but very useful - wide, stable platform and the hollow alloy tubing makes it lighter than you would think. My Ortlieb panniers fit nicely on the lower rail. Good mounting point for a rear light / reflector. Took about 10 minutes to fit. Highly recommended
DavidExcellent product, made fitting a rack to an older disc brake CX bike an absolute cinch and offers plenty of options for carrying bags and panniers.
CHRISTOPHERFantastic rear rack that fitted my 2016 Merida Ride Disc 500.Strong, and beautifully sprayed with a tough black coating I just used a seat post clamp with rack mounts to attach.Superb service as always from Merlin.Cheapest price and fast delivery to Northern Ireland.Sperb
CyclistGood sturdy Pannier Rack for bikes with Disc brakes. I bought two and it fits both bikes perfectly. Lighter than I was expecting given the chunky tubing. Very pleased.
TudorCarrier much lighter than it looks which is great . The bolts supplied could do with nuts as I don't have carrier bosses .
Mr ShortThis is a well made and very strong rack which is easy to fit, I also prefer the round seat stay mounts rather than the flat strips that most racks use.
JonathanHigh quality, lightweight rack with side rails for clip-on panniers. It mounted easily to my daughter’s Carrera mountain bike for her to carry her school bag. It comes with stainless Allen head screws sandwiched into the cardboard product label. The lower mounts use 40mm screws to accommodate the standoff required to clear the disc brakes. Top mounts screw into the threaded holes provided on the seat stays. It will also take a rear light. It’s a useful accessory that I’d recommend.
JackVery happy with this pannier rack , my last one served me well but broke recently it wasn’t the same brand nor was it built as good!! This is very light weight an strong build Perfect for my 29” mtb an needs, Which includes photography equipment tent sleeping bag Etc. Very happy with purchase.
PeterExcellent product and very easy to fit. It's light weight but strong, I'm very happy with it. The delivery was prompt and communication from Merlin Cycles was very good. I can unreservedly recommend them.
MikeExcellent rack. Very sturdy and looks good on the bike. Not too heavy which is good.
PatrickA really solid rack. Well made, with plenty of clearance for the post mounted disc brake on my CAADX.
Mr McSweeneyThe tubular seat post mounts are really strong and have a full range of adjustment. The lower mounting rail for the panniers gives loads of room for a top rack pack. The specifically wider bottom mount gives plenty of room for disc brakes, it also leaves room for a mud guard, which is needed as the rack has an open top. Overall a really good pannier rack.
StuartVery well built and easy to fit
BenFits nicely with plenty of adjustment, nice and light. Time will tell if it is durable.
BomberNice and sturdy with what seems a very robust finish. Easy to fit with minimal fettling. Looks good and holds all my cr4p for work and the occasional visit to friends (not at the moment though!). Will also be used for light touring..
PaulSeems great so far. Nice and light and easy to fit. Clears the disc calipers easily. Would be even better if it had a mounting hole for mudguard stays so had to bodge the guards a bit to fit.
Mr BestJust what I needed ideal for my 25 mile commute and days out too
Mr FieldExcellent service; fast delivery, great price, quality product. This rack fits my Cannondale Treadwell EQ nicely, looks cool on the bike, and takes my Altura Dryline panniers easily. I'm very happy.
Ms MacMillanGreat rack, easy to fit and works perfectly with my Ortlieb panniers on my Genesis Croix de Fer.
Mr BSturdy, fitted my XL Giant Roam 1 without too much difficulty or swearing. Needed a couple of extra washers on one side to ensure clearance for the disc brake actuator. Fits my Altura Arran panniers no worries. Would recommend.
Mr MacLaurinSimple to fit, strong and looks good
Peter NorthedgeBrilliant pannier rack, properly designed for a bike with disc brakes. It looks great and is rock solid despite being incredibly light. The black finish on the rack is not the usual smooth powder coating, there's a texture to it that is rather like weathered iron - it looks and feels classy.
Fitting it was a doddle and all parts were included. I'm using it with a bag strapped to the top and individual panniers on either side, which is easy thanks to the additional hanging rails. Added a reflector and rear light to the mount at the back and it looks brilliant on my matte black hybrid. It's quite a hefty bike with a 22inch frame and I didn't want a spindly rack so this really ticks all the boxes.
Overall - it looks lush, the price is excellent and it really does the job.
M StevensI have two of these racks fitted, one to a 26" MTB and the other a 29er. I bought the second simply because the first has proved to be such a good buy. Easy to fit, robust enough for my needs and the lower pannier mounting rail is a good feature, as is the rear light/reflector provision. There is no issue with heel clearance on the smaller wheeled bike, and the square rear sections of the rack prevent the panniers from going in towards the rear wheel, unlike on some other racks that are more triangular in shape.
To top it all off, the price is very good indeed.
The only thing it lacks is a solid platform on the top, which might be an issue for some folk, but I really only ever carry stuff in the panniers, and I've fitted a mudguard on both bikes anyway, so it's no problem for me.
A very good rack for the money.
Mr JONESThis is an excellent product at a great price. Tubes, welds and overall finish appear good, very light yet rigid frame.
Assembly was easy and it remains firmly in place when all bolted in to the frame.
DomReally solid rack but not too heavy. used on my AWOL for commuting so far.
Delivery spot on.
StevensIt's early days as I've only just fitted this rack, but it appears well made and fitting it to my 29er took all of five minutes, no bending of struts or messing about with brackets required. The second, lower, pannier top rail is a great feature, making attaching items to the top of the rack easier, and holding the panniers slightly lower on the bike.
For twenty quid, I'm very pleased indeed.
Mr LunnExcellent rack - quick and easy to fit
MayReally good pannier rack, great for disk bike.
JohnpeterExcellent value, well made and finished. Strong enough to carry a set of pannier bags and a top bag.Note this item is made to fit frames with brazed on fittings on the seat stays.
Dr BukunolaExcellent item, at a really good (sale) price. Strong and much lighter than those I compared it with. Also has a useful rear mounting plate for lights.
Brian FlynnI am very impressed with this rack. It was easy to fit, and seems to be very sturdy. I have fitted a rack pack on top and Ortlieb panniers on the side rails, and fully loaded them, and the rack performed admirably. It fits easily over my full mudguards, and my Cateye rear light fits perfectly on the light bracket. I would definitely recommend this rack to anyone, and the service from Merlin Cycles was second to none.
HortonGood solid rack. Delivered very quickly. Impressed
Mark CollinsExcellent product at a superb price. I've bought this rack for cycle touring in Scotland and a Belgium to France trip later in the year, and its totally surpassed my expectations. The build quality is excellent, and the frame is very strong but very light also - feels solid with the four contact points bolted to the frame. I'm also more than happy with the service from Merlin - 10/10 as usual, speedy delivery, excellent prices and spot on communication - thank you!!
OundleianThis is a very workmanlike rack but an absolute bargain at the price. Very easy to fit - took me less than 20 minutes and fits my pair of Ortlieb panniers perfectly with space for a rack pack on top as well. Tested with a trip to the shops this morning and it coped admirably with a full load. Merlin have to be complemented on the speed of the delivery - ordered Wednesday evening and delivered Friday lunchtime. And at no extra charge. Fantastic!
