Tubus
Dyson Bikes Australia carry a large range of tubus bike racks and carriers in stock ready for you to kit our your electric bike or touring bike for your next epic bike packing adventure.
Tubus bend wafer-thin steel tubes to create really robust, perfectly shaped luggage carriers - hand-made and laboriously surface-finished. There aren't many companies that can even do this. And nobody can do it better than we can. This is because we work tirelessly to make it easier for you to carry luggage on your bike. With luggage carriers that make your journey easier and more comfortable. With luggage carriers that have made a name for themselves throughout the world. With bicycle luggage carriers that we specifically developed to be used all around the world and to make a name for themselves in this very way.
COMMITTED TO QUALITY
For 30 years, tubus has been the globally leading brand for durable bike luggage carriers made from steel tube. Because the quality's right. From the first sketch to our internally produced test series and finally the finished carrier. We ensure quality by means of constant product maintenance and test methods that are supposedly the most stringent in the branch.
We have so much confidence in our carriers that we're happy to provide you with a 30-year guarantee. And a three-year “mobile guarantee” to boot! You and your tubus: A great journey - no matter how long it becomes.
TESTED, TESTED, TESTED, TESTED, AND PROVEN TO BE GREAT.
Really strong. Light as a feather. Ready for your journey. Today, you'll find a tubus carrier on practically every high-end touring bike. They're found on the bikes of people who want to achieve something: A great time on their bike! People who want to carry luggage but not burdens.
QUALITY: TESTED.
There are strict testing standards for luggage carriers. But at the end of the day, your trip gets to decide what your equipment needs to endure.
And because your journey to your destination is not standardised, we simulate the actual stresses that a luggage carrier faces when under way and adapt the test conditions in line with this. The testing facilities we've developed go far beyond the requirements of DIN and ISO - just like you when you're out on your journey.
We expose our luggage carriers to acid in our salt spray system and torture them with extensive vibration and oscillation tests - fully loaded, so: A tubus luggage carrier that has to withstand the pressures of going on a journey with you must be able to survive the tests defined in our own standards safe and sound. And our standards are a lot stricter than others! This is how tubus luggage carriers have earned their legendary reputation.
* ISO 11243:2016 requires that all luggage carriers with a carrying capacity of 27 kg or more automatically be approved for the attachment of child seats, too. In our opinion, transporting children on luggage carriers is dangerous, so we voluntarily restrict the carrying capacity of tubus luggage carriers to max. 26 kg, thus excluding the attachment of child seats and/or the transport of children on our carriers. This restriction has only the legal reasons mentioned above. tubus carriers are still tested with considerably higher luggage loads (which are specified for each product in brackets).
Material
25CRMO4
Chromoly. This material is often used, especially when it really matters: In automobile and aircraft engineering, and for numerous tubus carriers. Our chromoly offers an enormous tensile strength: more than 700 N/mm², and in addition, excellent welding properties, that we turn into excellent carrier properties.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel is frequently referred to as corrosion-free steel. However, the more correct definition would be: corrosion-resistant steel. Under extreme conditions, flash corrosion might, in some places, even occur on our stainless steel racks. This is, however, not a severe problem; a little polishing job and your rack will shine again — for a lifetime. No coating needed.
Titanium
Titanium is employed in all areas that require highest strength-to-weight ratio, as for example in aerospace industry. Titanium has some very useful properties: it is resistant to most organic acid and alkaline solutions, diluted saline and nitric acids, and to corrosion. At least in temperatures up to 880 °C. This makes our titanium racks the functional non plus ultra for trips to the Polar Circle and the Death Valley.
