Tailfin launches the SpeedPack range
Adding to its robust catalog of racks and bags, Tailfin have opened preorders for its newest rear axle-mounted aero-ish integrated rack/pack combo: the SpeedPack. The UK-based brand have teased this 10L pack for some time now, showing an early version back in April at Sea Otter Classic.
Claimed to be 100% waterproof, the pack features a minimalist design with a single main storage compartment and 3 liters of additional space in exterior mesh pockets. Recommended mounting is via Tailfin's proprietary axle ($40 extra), which attaches to either a carbon or alloy arch in the rear. Alternatively, it can mount to bike frames. For the seatpost clamp, Tailfin has introduced a new "FitLink" connector available in three lengths, said to be better compatible with a variety of post types, including droppers, thanks to +/-50 degrees of adjustable vertical alignment. Pricing for the system is £180/$250/€225 for the pack only; as an integrated system starting at £290/$400/€365 for the alloy version; and £340/$465/€425 for the carbon.
