Updated Platform (2026+) The Cradle platform now adds a second horizontal bend that brings the platform closer to your cargo. This bend improves stability for firm and round items and creates a natural stop that keeps straps from slipping off the ends. No added weight.

The Cradle is a lightweight solution to a cluttered handlebar for when you need one more strapping point for your gear up front. Strap on your dry bag or sleep system and shred! The adjustable tilt allows you to fine tune your fit for your desired bags and your specific handlebar setup.
Height adjustment affords weaving the cradle into a prime location even with a short stem, minimal spacer stack, a shorty head tube, and a suspension fork. Keep those cables uncrushed, bag up, and gear rigid on all of your favorite terrain.
Stem: Replaces 20mm of headset Spacers - 1 1/8" bore (28.6mm) - approximately 80mm from center of steerer to front of Cradle
Platform: 4.5"x9.75" (115mm x 250mm) 265g with all included hardware If you're worried about carbon steerer compatibility, get in touch with your component manufacturer. You won't hurt the Cradle, but may void a warranty on your fork.
The Cradle is a one size fits most front rack. You will need at least 20mm of steerer tube spacers that the Cradle "Stem" will replace. The Cradle Stem drops ~17mm over its length to get out of the way of short handlebar stems, but if your specific handlebar stem is particularly beefy, you may need an additional 5mm spacer between handlebar stem+Cradle Stem.
