Both carbon touring bikes. Carbon is fine with point-loading, as long as it's designed for the job. Look at the front suspension mounts on F1 cars, mounted directly onto the carbon tub. It's a niche market, granted, I suspect because the main advantages of carbon are stiffness and weight, both of which are rather irrelevant when you've got 20kg of luggage strapped to the bike, at which point the cost factor becomes more important.
