No official comment on these, but from observations the main differences
seem to be:
-second, triangle-reinforced pannier mounting rail that is lower than the
deck, which, as doug points out, facilitates access to panniers if you also
have something loaded on the top of the rack.
-lower or
Jeremy, I'm curious whether it is narrow at the top like a Tubus rack,
which brings the pannier load in closer to center.

The only bummer I can see is that losing the tombstone means you lose some
stability when you run a trunksack. I'm not sure how many people run
trunksacks anymore though.

Bill,
i have this 'problem' now, and it's more aesthetic, if you put anything in
the trunksack it keeps the shape. sometimes if i'm lazy, zipping it up can
catch without the tombstone holding the shape, minor things...

These racks look great, I saw them in person and really liked the large. I
wasn't patient enough and went with the V.O. Campeur rack. The V.O. Is nice but
the Nitto looks much more solid.
I wish I would have waited but I'm trying to dial in the bike for a short
tour down coast and I
I bought a medium to go on my custom Riv. They're very nice looking!

The previous Nitto racks without the lower pannier rail is what caused me
to buy a Tubus rack. I would have bought the new Nitto rack when in the
market for one. I was buying in 2011. I am invested in my Tubus now. If
I am ever in the market for a new one. I will get this update.

new.

Woo Hoo! New improved. I've got both a Nitto a Tubus with the lower
pannier rails and that is a significant improvement, at least for those of
us who like to overload racks. If you've ever gotten crazy trying to load
or unload a rack with panniers something on the platform, and felt like
