Not a lot of reviews of the new Zi:Rak from ToPeak. Recently returned from week long trip around Powell River, Gulf Islands, and Sunshine Coast.
The Zi:Rak held up great and I had no issues using with my Kona Unit. Approx 700k and 10,500m of climbing/descending on gravel and forestry roads, singletrack, pavement, etc.
At 660g + additional 150g for U-shell drybag mount, the rack is a tad heavy for what it is. But it does come at a fairly competitive price point for this style of rack.
The U-shell drybag mount + quick-mount design does add some undue complexity to the system, and I did find the system to have a little bit of play/wobble. After tightening the threaded Quick-pull and using the ski straps as photographed, I never thought about it while riding.
Overall seems to be a decent option at a lower price point to some of the more popular options (Tumbleweed, Tailfin, Mica).

Ibera IB-RA17 is full-sus compatible, but rated for lower weights. To be a proper Mica alternative it should have enough clearance for thicker MTB tires (getting anything compatible with 29″x2.6″ in EU is PITA).
