At road.cc every product is thoroughly tested for as long as it takes to get a proper insight into how well it works. Our reviewers are experienced cyclists that we trust to be objective. While we strive to ensure that opinions expressed are backed up by facts, reviews are by their nature an informed opinion, not a definitive verdict. We don't intentionally try to break anything (except locks) but we do try to look for weak points in any design. The overall score is not just an average of the other scores: it reflects both a product's function and value – with value determined by how a product compares with items of similar spec, quality, and price.

Good scores are more common than bad, because fortunately good products are more common than bad.

  • Exceptional
  • Not so good

Topeak’s Super Tourist DX rack is something of a design classic, continuing Topeak’s tradition for keenly priced and innovative products. The super-tourist certainly manages to be most things to most riders. A 25Kg maximum payload should be enough for all but kitchen sink tourists, let alone commuters and weighing a reassuring 700g, it should satisfy all but the most particular of Audax competitors. Stick with steel for expedition touring though as aluminium is much harder to repair by the roadside.

Sturdy 10.2mm 6061 aluminium rods are neatly TIG welded to provide a strong and moreover rigid platform. Dedicated pannier rails positioned beneath the top frame overcomes compatibility woes with trunk bags and make the whole un/loading process a lot simpler, while still offering adequate heel clearance on smaller framesets.

Elsewhere, the splashguard/top plate incorporates clever guttering designed for use with the firm’s integrated quick track retention system, meaning dedicated trunk bags slot into the guttering and lock firmly around the looped top-rail. However, it accommodates more conventional Velcro types just as securely. The comprehensive stainless steel fitting kit makes for corrosion free, almost universal compatibility with framesets ranging from 14 to 25 inches, although mounting to wishbone seat-stays can still present a few challenges. Resin LED mounts provide surprisingly secure tenure for both dynamo and battery lamps but a little thread lock is good insurance.

My own has seen 18 months continuous, trouble free service with no obvious signs of fatigue. Even the glossy powder coat finish hasn’t tired despite constant attachment and removal of Klick fix luggage, the beefy tubes being just the right diameter for most brands to date. Binding electrical tape around the main contact points is an inexpensive means of extending the racks’ life further but crucially aluminium doesn’t have nearly the same fatigue life as steel so avoid habitually laying a heavily laden bike on the pannier frame at rest stops.

Well designed rack for everything bar expedition use

Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?

The Super Tourist DX is a well made alloy touring rack capable of everything from commuting to full on mtb duties thanks to solid construction, moderate weight and a disc compatible option. I have used one consistently for 18 months with only slight-tell tale signs of paint wear.

Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?

A reassuringly solid 700g

Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose

As its name suggests, the Super Tourist DX is a versatile and capable do-all rack that does most things very well. Even loaded close to the limit it feels surprisingly rigid and the beefy rods entertain most panniers and seems genuinely compatible with frames from 14-25 inches, although wishbone stays can prove a little tricky. Finish seems better than most with only the slightest traces of wear but this is easily overcome with a layer of electrical tape. For all this, I would stop short of expedition touring- only because in the event of breakage, roadside repair of aluminium is tricky at best.

I have the disc version and if you use a mudguard with one set of eyelets then use some P-clips on the seat stays.

So far so good and nice finish.

I would use larger washers on the bolts that fit the brackets from the seat stay to the carrier as the material is aluminum and the washers barley cover the holes-prevent them from going through.

Topeak Uni Super Tourist Rack (Disc)

A super rack that really does come close to fulfilling the description, 'one-size-fits-all'. The Uni Super Tourist is a durable, aluminium tubular rack equipped with adjustable legs to fit most 24” to 29” wheel MTB and 700C touring bikes with disc brakes. It's just as good for commuting and running errands, as it is for long-distance touring. While the top plate is designed to be compatible with Topeak's own luggage system, it can also accommodate a wide range of racks and panniers. The initial setup isn't difficult and, once on, it looks slick and resists wear better than some cheaper options.

Very adaptable

Intuitive and easy to mount

Nothing to note

  • The construction

Value and conclusion

In the not too distant past, you could be quite certain that any bike pannier rack would fit pretty much all bikes. But with standards having evolved at such a pace in recent years, producing a 'one size fits all' design has become an increasingly difficult task.

Yet it's one which Topeak has tackled head on, with the Uni Super Tourist coming out on top for compatibility, against the racks I've been testing such as the Ortlieb Quick Rack . This makes it a wise choice for anyone wishing to obviate the chance of any frustrating surprises when setting up – and for those wanting to keep their options open for swapping between bikes.

The construction: Topeak Uni Super Tourist Rack (Disc)

The Uni Super Tourist is made from 6061 T-6 hollow aluminium, with the welding and finishing maintaining a high quality throughout. In comparison to some others I’ve been testing, the the Uni Super Tourist is much more robust in its construction, resisting scratches and abrasions that others haven’t.

The rack is equipped with adjustable legs to ‘fit most 24” to 29” wheel MTB and 700C touring bikes with disc brakes’. The chrome plated stainless steel arms, on the other hand, flex accordingly to meet the bike frame’s mounting points.

On top, the TX QuickTrack® plate is compatible with any Topeak MTX TrunkBag ( Topeak has a huge range ), or MTX rear basket ( of which there are two ). I’ve had no issues fitting any of my own panniers, or those I’ve been testing.

At the rear, there is a plate for mounting a light, with the racking being compatible with a Topeak Redlite , unsurprisingly.

Mounting the rack is intuitive and doesn’t take long. I’ve had the Uni Super Tourist on and off several bikes without issue, you can see in the photos above mounted on a Triban RC520 and a Whyte Clifton ER7 .

The rack is set at its lowest height on the Triban, fitted with 700 x 32c tubeless tyres. On the ER7, it’s still on the lowest height setting, with 700 x 40c tubeless tyres, plus a substantial mudguard. 

Considering there are two more height settings that I haven't used – and plenty of arm length to play with – there's a lot of scope for larger tyres and smaller frame sizes, making clearance issues of little concern. At the other end, with 26" touring wheels, you may end up with a sizable gap between the rack and the rear wheel – but at worst that would only be an aesthetic issue.

I’ve not tested any of the Topeak's compatible luggage system, but I've had no issues attaching a whole range of panniers to the rack – including items from Ortlieb, Cube, Altura, Chrome Industries, Brooks and Topeak's standard pannier bags. 

Many panniers come with adapters for attachment points, offering a more secure fit and reducing the chance of abrasion. Otherwise, a bit of insulating tape can prolong the aesthetic life, if you are keen to do that. The rack looks slick, and feels sturdy and durable. Although I've not used any tape through the test period, there has been no abrasion to note, which is quite impressive.

The 26kg capacity adds to the versatility of the rack; it’s not confined to commuting purposes, and can be easily swapped onto a touring bike. I felt confident loading it up during urban errands, with heavy shopping causing no concern.

If you happen to ride without mudguards, the plate offers some degree of protection from road spray. While it’s not huge, it’s certainly better than an 'open-top-rack' design.

At £44.99 / $73.49, the Topeak Uni Super Tourist fairs well against other brands with similar reputations for quality. Blackburn’s Ex 1  is £54.99 / $54.95 and Tubus’ Disco   has an RRP of £135.99 / $135.99, though perhaps it’s not a perfect comparison; it’s made of steel, so it’s likely to last longer and is repairable too.

The ease of mounting, coupled with the deserving 'one-size-fits-all' tag, make it easy to recommend the Uni Super Tourist. It's a competitively priced option for anyone wanting a versatile, well-made rack.

Emma’s first encounters with a bike were in between swimming and running. Soon after competing for GB in the World Age Group Triathlon Championships in Edmonton in 2001 she saw the light and decided to focus on cycling. 

With a couple of half decent UK road seasons under her belt, she went out to Belgium to sample the racing there, spending two years with Lotto-Belisol Ladies team, racing alongside the likes of Sara Carrigan, Grace Verbeke, Rochelle Gilmore and Lizzie Deignan. Emma moved from Lotto-Belisol to Dutch team Redsun, working primarily as a domestique for Emma Johansson. When Redsun folded, Emma was offered the opportunity to ride with a newly formed Belgian team and home to the first year senior and budding rider Anna Van Der Breggen.

After retiring, Emma returned to teaching, setting up her own tutoring business. When not coercing kids to do maths, she is invariably out on two wheels. While the road bike remains her true passion, she has also developed an addiction to touring, with destinations including Iceland, Georgia and Albania, to mention just a few. There have also been sightings of Emma off-road, on mountain and gravel bikes… As if all of this isn't enough, she's been working as a freelancer since 2005, testing and reviewing the latest kit and sharing her insight into the sport.

Topeak Super Tourist DX Review

Topeak Super Tourist DX

Super Tourist DX Rating: 4.5

The Good

  • Light (not too light, but not heavy)
  • MTX compatible
  • Side bar for panniers
  • Paint is thick, doesn’t scratch easily

The Bad

  • Mounting can be a challenge with some bike frames

Made of Aluminum tubing, Topeak Super Tourist DX is available in two versions. For bicycles with disk brakes and bicycles with rim brakes. So be careful when ordering.

Also, The DX model has a little more tubing in it than the plain Super Tourist rack. It has a side bar for side panniers that is about 3 inches below the rack’s “platform”. This is for people who want to put standalone panniers on their rack. I don’t have the standalone panniers, because I have the Topeak MTX TrunkBag DXP , which has expandable panniers. But I bought the Super Tourist DX anyway. Why? Because that side bar provides anchor points for my bungee cords. I use those for fastening boxes and other stuff to the rack. After taking off the DXP bag, of course…

Topeak’s Super Tourist DX is a high quality rack. The black paint is thick. It doesn’t come off on its own, if you leave your bike in the sun, for example. You really have to try hard to scratch it. The screws are made of stainless steel. So be careful when screwing those to your bike’s aluminum frame! Turn the screws with your fingers at first. If you feel a little resistance, stop and unscrew, then retry. Because it’s really easy to damage an aluminum thread with a steel screw. It’s also a good idea to always grease any screws before using them.

Two stainless steel bars are used to connect the rack to the bike’s frame.  They seem id entical , but they’re not ! One is left and one is right. If you mount them the other way around, they might interfere with your brake levers (if you don’t have disk brakes, that is.)

Click on a thumbnail for a larger view. Press arrow keys or click on the left/right of the picture to see previous/next one.

Topeak Super Tourist DX is MTX compatible. You can attach any Topeak MTX bag to it. MTX is a very simple and clever technology, which lets you slide your bag on and off the rack in about 5 seconds. You’ll find this especially useful if you commute to work or ride to school/college. Just slide the bag off the rack and take it with you!

Topeak Super Tourist DX Specifications:

  • Material : Hollow aluminum
  • Compatibility : Different models for Disk Brakes & Rim Brakes.
  • MTX Compatible
  • Tail light mount
  • Weight : 700 g / 1.54 lbs
  • Size (L x W x H) : 34 x 17 x 41 cm / 13.4” x 6.7” x 16.1”

The Super Tourist DX has also a nice feature if you don’t have fenders. Topeak calls it “Solid Fender Top”. The rack is closed in the middle, which saves you from the water and mud flying off the rear wheel and landing on your back.

I couldn’t find any significant flaw in Topeak’s Super Tourist DX. Yes, mounting it on some frames could be a little time consuming. But this isn’t really a flaw, just an inconvenience. If you need a rack, then this one won’t disappoint you. You can buy it from Amazon or ChainReactionCycles .

Moscow metro to be more tourist-friendly

For many years now, Moscow has lagged behind St. Petersburg when it comes to making life easy for tourists, especially where getting around the city is concerned. Whereas the northern capital installed English-language maps, signs and information points throughout its subway system in the late 2000s, the Russian capital’s metro remained a serious challenge for foreign visitors to navigate.

Recent visitors to Moscow may have noticed some signs that change is afoot, however. In many stations of the Moscow subway, signs have appeared on the floor – with large lettering in Russian and English – indicating the direction to follow in order to change lines. Previously, foreign visitors using the Moscow metro had to rely solely upon deciphering the Russian-language signs hanging from the ceilings.

Student volunteers help tourists find their way in Moscow

However, this new solution has a significant drawback. “The floor navigation is visible only to a small stream of people – fewer than three people per meter. During peak hours, this navigation will simply not be noticed,” said Konstantin Trofimenko, Director of the Center for Urban Transportation Studies.

One of the biggest problems for tourists in the Russian capital remains the absence of English translations of the names of subway stations in the station vestibules and on platforms. The Department of Transportation in Moscow has not commented yet as to when this problem will be solved. However, Latin transliterations of station names can already be found in the subway cars themselves.

Finding the right exit

At four of the central stations – Okhotny Ryad, Teatralnaya, Ploshchad Revolyutsii, Lubyanka and Kuznetsky Most – the city authorities have now installed colorful stands at the exits with schematic diagrams of the station’s concourse and surrounding area, which provide information about the main attractions and infrastructural facilities.

The schematic diagrams are the work of British specialists from the City ID and Billings Jackson Design firms, who have already implemented successful projects in New York and London.

According to Alexei Novichkov, expert at the Design Laboratory at the Higher School of Economics, the design of these information booths raises no objections: The color solutions, font, layout and icons are consistent with international standards.

Kudankulam

However, the stands do have some shortcomings. “Many questions are raised about the fact that the developers of these maps did not apply orientation to the north, and have provided layouts of the surrounding areas with respect to the exits,” says Novichkov. “A system like that is used for road navigators, but most of the ‘paper’ guides and maps are oriented strictly to north. The subway map is also oriented to north, so people may become confused.”

Muscovites and foreign visitors are generally positive about these navigation elements, with most of them citing the numbered exits from the subway as the most useful feature.

The fact is that many Moscow subway stations have several exits. One of the busiest central stations of the Moscow subway in particular, Kitay-Gorod, has more than a dozen exits. Previously, these exits were differentiated from each other only with signs in Russian referring to the names of streets and places of interest to which they led – making it easy for tourists and those with poor navigation skills to get confused.

Now, when making an appointment to meet a friend, instead of struggling to find the right spot when they tell you: “I'll meet you at the exit to Solyanka Street,” you can just propose to meet under a specific exit number.

“I’ve lived in Moscow for seven years,” says Angelika, a designer from Voronezh, “but I still don’t always know where to go to find the place I need, so the new schematic diagrams will be very useful. Previously, some subway stations had maps, but not with so much detail.”

Teething problems

Foreigners, meanwhile, focus their attention on other elements. “It is good that the new information boards have QR-codes, which can be ‘read’ by smartphones,” says Florentina, a writer from Vienna. But there are also shortcomings. “The English font of the information on posters and in the captions to theaters and museums is too small – you have to come very close to see it well,” she says.

Pleasant encounters on the streets of Moscow

Florentina was also dissatisfied with the fact that such posters are not provided at all subway stations: “When I was trying to find Tsaritsyno Park (a museum and reserve in the south of Moscow) at a subway station with the same name, it turned out to be quite difficult,” she says.

“There are no maps with landmarks for other areas, such as those already in the city center. There were no clear pointers in the English language, and the passers-by I met did not speak in English, so they could not help me,” she adds.

Officials say that the navigation system is gradually being redeveloped and improved. According to Darya Chuvasheva, a press representative for the Department of Transport of Moscow, the introduction of a unified navigation system will take place in stages.

“By the end of 2014, the system will first appear on the first subway stations on the Circle Line. By the end of 2015, we plan to install the system at all major stopping points, subway stations and transport interchange hubs,” says Chuvasheva.

  4. Review: Topeak Super Tourist DX rack

    Topeak's Super Tourist DX rack is something of a design classic, continuing Topeak's tradition for keenly priced and innovative products. The super-tourist certainly manages to be most things to most riders. A 25Kg maximum payload should be enough for all but kitchen sink tourists, let alone commuters and weighing a reassuring 700g, it ...

  13. Topeak Super Tourist Tubular Bicycle Trunk Rack DX with Side Bar

    This is my first rear rack purchased to convert a 1980 steel bike to a commuter. I paired this Topeak Super Tourist with Ortlieb panniers and it's a great system. I've loaded up my bike with tons of groceries, and have had no doubt that my setup was going to make it work. This rack was very easy to install and very sturdy.
