For our 239th Collective Reward, we’re giving one randomly selected Bikepacking Collective member a Restrap Switch Rack and Cage—a clever, modular cargo system designed to bring rack functionality to nearly any modern thru-axle bike. Find details here…

If you caught our review last month, you’ll know the Restrap Switch Rack isn’t your typical rear rack. It’s a streamlined, adaptable platform that mounts via a dedicated thru-axle and seatpost strap, opening up a versatile set of rear gear-carrying options without the need for traditional rack mounts. Paired with the Switch Rack Cage, it becomes a dialed solution for hauling a dry bag with the ability to stash extra water or overflow gear on the uprights—perfect for variable-resupply bikepacking trips.

The system is impressively stable, easy to install and remove, and compatible with most modern hardtails, gravel bikes, and ATBs. Whether you’re looking to expand your current setup or build out a more modular packing system, the Switch Rack and Cage make a compelling case. One random member of the Bikepacking Collective will take home a Restrap Switch Rack, a Restrap Switch Rack Cage, and a choice of compatible Switch thru-axle. That’s a roughly $260 value for our lucky winner. For more on the Restrap Switch system, check it out at Restrap.com.
