My rack is a Tubus Vega Evo.

It is a sleek, narrow basic rack made of CrMo steel tubing and lighter than most aluminum racks. They are also very well constructed. I also added the available "mousetrap spring" to secure odd items for when I do not have the small racktop bag attached. First rack I ever has that did not rattle a bit or work loose, and has zero sway. Keep in mind, the narrow top means wider truck bags will hang over and should be mounted carefully. It also means putting the bike on a double rack mount has less chances of contact with the other bike and if carrying more than one bike inside the vehicle has a lower profile.

THe width at the lower attachment points is for eyelets having a 150-170mm spread. I use the available 5mm spacers (130mm rear hub) to avoid bending the legs inward.
