Old Man Mountain – Pioneers of Adventure Racks
Old Man Mountain has been building high-quality racks for demanding bikepacking adventures since the 1990s. Based in Bend, Oregon (USA), the brand is especially known for its innovative axle mounting system. Instead of relying on traditional frame or fork eyelets, many OMM racks mount directly to the axle – making them ideal for modern bikes with suspension forks or carbon frames. All Old Man Mountain products stand for quality, durability, and uncompromising load capacity – and the Impala Lowrider is no exception.
Why a Lowrider Rack Makes Sense for Bike Touring
A lowrider rack positions your panniers lower, resulting in a significantly lower center of gravity – a real advantage for ride stability. Especially under heavy load, steering becomes more precise, annoying front-wheel "flutter" (also known as "wheel flop") is reduced, and you can maneuver confidently even on rough terrain. On long-distance tours or fully loaded setups, a rack like the Impala provides noticeably better control and comfort.
Impala – Where Elegance Meets Lowrider Culture
The name “Impala” has a double meaning: it refers to the African antelope, known for its speed, agility, and grace – traits shared by this rack. At the same time, it nods to the legendary Chevrolet Impala Lowrider from American automotive and subculture history. Dropped low, full of style, and with attitude – just like this rack, which brings your load down low and shines with smart design. The Impala Lowrider unites animal agility, ride performance, and lifestyle in one strong name.
