Two positions, one movement
Two aluminium clamps with spring plungers lock mechanically in folded (0°) or open (110°) position, so there's never ambiguity about whether the mechanism is properly seated.
Closed: Tuesday 27 October through Sunday 1 November. Please note: the workshop is from now on also closed on Thursdays.

The official product page contains a gallery with several photos (OMNIUM_2026_FOLDING_BACKREST series), but all images checked show people (a rider and passenger) and were therefore excluded per the instruction to avoid people. No clean, people-free product-only photo was found on the page.
Why it matters
No removal needed
Unlike the fixed Back Rest, this version never needs to be removed; it folds flat against the rack to free up cargo space.

Everything you need to know about the Omnium klapbare rugleuning
How the component works, which specifications matter and what to watch for when choosing. From the basics to the details real bike nerds care about.
Weight1700 g
Lower weight helps on climbs and repeated accelerations. For flat rides, commuting and carrying loads, comfort, durability and aerodynamics often matter more than a few grams. Frame, wheelset and complete-bike weights are not directly comparable.
ColourBlack
Colour and origin are mainly personal preferences; they do not automatically make a part faster or more suitable. Choose the finish matching your bike and maintenance preferences after checking fit and function.
MaterialsAluminium, Nylon
Material affects weight, stiffness, maintenance and use, but construction matters just as much. Do not choose on a carbon or metal label alone. Racers prioritise weight and response; everyday riders durability, protection and upkeep.
Tools required4 mm & 6 mm hex key
Check which mounts and parts are included and what is needed separately. Secure, correct installation matters more than speed for everyday use. Have safety-critical attachments checked and use the specified tools.

This determines whether parts work together mechanically, not visually. Frame generation, mounting, brakes and drivetrain must match. Upgrade only with a checked combination; Thomas confirms the exact version before assembly.
