Modular & Compact Design

The x70 Skirack is built to be the most versatile and compact rack available for urban cyclists. As skiing becomes increasingly popular, urban-based skiers looking for sustainable and convenient ways to transport their ski equipment often struggle with bulky, heavy racks.

When you're heading to the slopes, you want to focus on the ride, not on cumbersome hardware that destabilizes your bicycle.

Why it matters

  • Reduces weight on your frame: Weighing significantly less than traditional racks, the x70 maintains your bike's center of gravity.
  • Universal Fit & Adjustability: Mounts securely to the rear axle and existing frame points, compatible with a wide array of bicycle frames.
  • Interchangeable Modules: By swapping out the ABS (or Tough PLA) ski modules attached to the Aluminium backplate, the rack can accommodate everything from thin cross-country skis to wide snowboards.

Material Innovation

Our engineering team spent months testing various materials to find the perfect balance between strength and compactness.

  1. Stainless Steel Frame: The core structure is made from square stainless steel tubing. It offers extremely high durability and corrosion resistance for outdoor conditions, while remaining sleek.
  2. Aluminium Backplate: CNC-machined Aluminium serves as a lightweight, rigid interface between the frame and the ski modules.
  3. High-Impact Modules: Through destructive filament testing (comparing ABS against Tough PLA at varying infill densities), we engineered modules that absorb shock without adding unnecessary bulk. For mass production, these modules feature specific draft angles and ribbed internal structures optimized for injection moulding.

The result is a sleek, minimalistic design that doesn't compromise on durability. In load testing, the compact frame successfully withstood up to 20kg of force before failure—equivalent to around 6 pairs of skis—greatly exceeding everyday load requirements.
