Towbar mounted cycle carriers are a safe and secure way of carrying up to 4 cycles on the back of your car. They are much stronger and more secure than carriers that just strap to the tailgate of your car, as such any risk of damage to your car is virtually elliminated.
We stock a full range from Thule, Witter & Westfalia. You can click the logos below for further information about each type.
There are a few things to consider when choosing your cycle carrier. The first being whether you need to tow and carry bikes at the same time. If you do, you need a Witter cycle carrier, or the Thule 9705 Bolt On. These cycle carriers have a mounting base plate that is bolted behind the towball therefore leaving the towball free to attach a trailer or caravan, although it is important to ensure that you have enough clearance especially when towing a caravan. These carriers are only compatible with flangeball type towbars.
There are two types of carrier; those that support the bikes from top holding the frame, and those that support bikes from below where the wheels of the bikes are located in 'tracks' on the cycle carrier, like the Thule one in the picture below. This type is generally more secure, but is also more complex and more expensive.
