KLICKfix Xtra Rail – Add a Pannier Rail to Any Rack

Got a rack without a double rail? No problem. The KLICKfix Xtra Rail is a retrofittable aluminium strut that adds an extra luggage level to virtually any bike rack — so you can mount a pannier bag alongside a top bag, a box, or a basket without compromise. Simply clamp it onto your existing rack tubes and you’re ready to carry more, smarter.

Designed for racks with tube diameters between Ø 8 and 16 mm, the Xtra Rail fits a wide range of carriers and installs without tools in minutes. The maximum clamping width is 305 mm, and the strut is rated to carry up to 10 kg — more than enough for a loaded pannier on your daily commute or touring adventure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the KLICKfix Xtra Rail used for?

The Xtra Rail adds a horizontal strut to your existing bike rack, creating a second luggage level. This allows you to attach a KLICKfix pannier bag on the side of your rack while still using the top platform for a bag, box, or basket — ideal for commuters and tourers who need maximum carrying capacity.

Which racks is the Xtra Rail compatible with?

The Xtra Rail is designed for racks that do not have a built-in double rail. It clamps onto rack tubes with a diameter between Ø 8 and 16 mm, making it compatible with a wide range of standard bike racks. The maximum clamping width is 305 mm.

Do I need any tools to install it?

Installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools (typically a screwdriver or Allen key) to tighten the clamps. No drilling or permanent modifications to your rack are needed.

How much weight can the Xtra Rail hold?

The Xtra Rail is rated for a maximum load of 10 kg, which is sufficient for a fully loaded pannier bag for commuting or light touring.

Is this compatible with KLICKfix pannier bags?

Yes — the Xtra Rail is designed to work with KLICKfix-compatible pannier bags and accessories. Once installed, it provides the rail that KLICKfix bags click onto securely.
