Why choose this rack
The Tubus Cargo 25CrMo4 has long been one of the key benchmarks in the world of bike travel. It’s designed with a clear purpose: to perform reliably even as loads increase and conditions become less predictable.
Its widespread use in real-world travel scenarios (long-distance touring, continuous journeys, intensive use) has made it a proven, time-tested solution. It remains one of the most widely used racks in long-distance cycle touring.
It doesn’t rely on complex features, but on a simple and solid structure that prioritizes stability and load management.
Compared to solutions like the Tubus Grand Tour, the Cargo Evo is the kind of component you choose when you want to minimize variables during a trip and rely on predictable, proven performance—even under full load.

Compatibility
Wheel & tire compatibility
Compatible with 28" wheels (in many cases also usable with 29", depending on tire clearance and frame geometry).
Bike type
trekking / touring
travel bikes
gravel with rack mounts
Mounting system
rear eyelet mounting (threaded mounts on dropouts and seat stays)
3D feet system → improved force distribution
Frame compatibility
compatible with frames equipped with rack eyelets
compatible with quick-release (QR) frames
Thru-axle compatibility
Compatible with thru-axle frames depending on frame geometry and axle standards:
direct mounting may be possible if eyelets are present
specific adapters may be required if eyelets are missing
Not compatible with
frames without mounts (unless using specific adapters)
full suspension bikes (generally not compatible)
setups with interference on the rear triangle
Real-world limits
Max load
26 kg
Tire clearance
up to approx. 50 mm
Fender clearance
up to approx. 55 mm
Lower mount spacing
140–170 mm
Max distance between upper struts
70 mm
Position
rear
Important note: The frame must be designed to support a rack. Otherwise, installation may compromise safety and structural integrity. Always check the frame manufacturer’s specifications.
When it makes sense
The Tubus Cargo Evo is the right choice if you:
travel with medium to heavy loads
use rear panniers regularly
want a reliable long-term setup
plan trips lasting weeks or months
It’s the natural choice in full setups combined with a front lowrider such as the Tubus Tara stainless steel.
When it does NOT make sense
light commuting
minimalist bikepacking
low-load setups
bikes without rack mounts
Recommended setups
Primary use
rear panniers (standard configuration)
The structure is designed to handle heavy loads while maintaining stability and predictable handling.
Typical pairings
with Tubus Tara stainless steel → full load distribution
with high-capacity rear panniers → long-distance / expedition travel
Best for carrying
bulky and heavy loads
full touring equipment
It can also support top loads (e.g. dry bag or tent), thanks to its wide and stable platform.
FAQ – Tubus Cargo Evo
Is it better than the Tubus Logo Evo for touring?
It depends on the load. The Cargo Evo is better suited for heavy loads, while the Logo Evo is more versatile for medium setups.
Can I use it for daily commuting?
Yes, but it is oversized for light use.
Is it compatible with bikes without eyelets?
No, unless using specific adapter solutions.
How much weight can it carry?
Up to 26 kg, as stated by the manufacturer.
Is it suitable for off-road?
Yes, on gravel and dirt roads. It is not designed for technical trail riding.
Can I carry gear on top of the rack?
Yes, the platform allows it (e.g. dry bag or tent).
Technical notes / considerations
always verify frame compatibility
possible interference with:
fenders
not compatible with child seats
structure designed for stable load carrying, not technical trail use
