Passenger capability when you need it. Out of the way when you don’t.
This foldable version of our Back Rest is designed for riders who switch between carrying passengers and cargo — without wanting to constantly fit and remove parts.
The key difference is simple: it folds down in seconds. No tools, no need to take it off your bike. Just fold it down and keep riding.
When in use, it provides the same stable and supportive back rest your passengers need. When not needed, it folds flat and out of the way, making room for bags, boxes, or whatever else you’re carrying.
This version doesn’t replace the classic Back Rest. It’s simply a different way to ride:
- Choose the original for a more fixed and protected setup.
- Choose the foldable for quick transitions and rack flexibility
