The Arkose fork was to our spec to start with, a lot of companies use it now as we didn't pay tooling for it. But it was never intended to be used with a rack. Racks and carbon forks aren't a combo that I'm too comfortable with tbh. Would need proper ground up design, new testing and a compromise on added weight and stiffness.

for all its mooted versatility (bottle bosses, rack mounts etc)... why does the arkose not have mounts on the front fork for a front rack ? seems like a weird omission, since most adventure bikes of this type tend to have them
