Moved By Bikes Shortboard Racks

Ride to the waves without carrying your surfboard under your arm. The Moved By Bikes MBB Shortboard Racks provide a convenient, adjustable, and removable bicycle surfboard carrier designed for boards approximately 7–8 feet long or shorter. Featuring quick-release bars, a four-bolt seatpost clamp, and corrosion-resistant aluminum and stainless steel construction, these racks make biking to the beach easier.

The MBB Shortboard Racks from Moved By Bikes offer a practical way to transport your surfboard by bicycle. Built around the same quick-release bar system used in MBB's Longboard Racks, this streamlined design mounts both rack bars to a single seatpost assembly, creating an economical solution for surfers who primarily ride shortboards.

Installation is straightforward with the four-bolt seatpost clamp. Once installed, the rack bars can be adjusted for height and angle to suit your bicycle and board. When you're ready to ride, simply click the bars into place. After your session, remove them with the push of a button, leaving the mounting assembly attached to your bike.

Constructed from aluminum and stainless steel for use in coastal environments, the MBB Shortboard Racks are designed for regular trips to the beach. They're also useful for transporting other similarly shaped equipment, including kiteboards, snowboards, skis, bodyboards, and folding lawn chairs.

Bike Compatibility and Fit Guide

MBB Shortboard Racks are designed to mount to a bicycle seatpost or a compatible frame tube using the supplied mounting assembly. Current production racks use the V2 mounting system, which accommodates seatposts and tubes measuring 25–35mm in diameter.

Compatibility Note: Current MBB Shortboard Racks ship with the V2 mounting system. Although the manufacturer describes broad bicycle compatibility, verify your seatpost or mounting-tube diameter and available mounting clearance before installation. Certain Super73-style bicycles may require reconfiguring the mount according to MBB's instructions.

Installation and Adjustment

The MBB Shortboard Racks install using a four-bolt clamp. Once the mounting assembly is secured, adjust the bars for height and angle to suit your bicycle and surfboard. The quick-release mechanism allows the bars to click into position for use and be removed with the push of a button.

Installation Note: Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and check mounting security, board clearance, and equipment stability before riding.

What Sets It Apart

Unlike bicycle surfboard carriers that require more widely separated frame mounts, the MBB Shortboard Racks use a compact double seatpost assembly. Combined with adjustable bars and push-button quick release, this design offers a convenient option for riders who primarily transport shorter boards.

Board Length Note: Although the rack can accommodate different board shapes, MBB recommends this model primarily for boards approximately 7–8 feet long or shorter. For longer surfboards or stand-up paddleboards, consider the MBB Longboard Racks instead.

Care Note: Periodically inspect mounting bolts and quick-release components. Rinse off salt and sand as needed and follow the manufacturer's maintenance recommendations.

Bottom Line: The Moved By Bikes MBB Shortboard Racks combine quick-release convenience, adjustable positioning, and durable coastal-ready construction in a compact seatpost-mounted surfboard carrier.

Leave the car behind and make your next surf session a bike ride away with MBB Shortboard Racks.
