860g! that's pretty high.

My Haulin' Colin Porteur rack is around 400g for a similar footprint.

The larger Surly is about 3 inches wider and the adjustable hardware is going to weigh a fair bit compared with the HC with it's fairly set mounting points.

Still 500g lighter than the Soma, VO or the Nice Rack, combined it with a Tara and it weighs the same as the above but you have a lower mounting point for the panniers than the first two which should help in most scenarios...

STW have more photos of both mounted to bikes http://singletrackworld.com/2015/10/new-surly-front-racks-launched/

To be quite fair, those have low rider as well, only the Velo Orange is comparable.

Tubus listed the Tara as 360g, but the mounting hardware is 140g which mean it's actually 500g.
