Car Racks

WHAT ARE THE MAIN TYPES OF CAR RACKS?

HITCH RACKS

Hitch racks are an easy solution for families and group riders looking to transport up to four bikes at a time. Simply locate the trailer hitch at the back of your vehicle and slide the hitch rack into the receiver. They tend to be easier to load and unload than other varieties of car racks.

ROOF RACKS

Convenience is the main benefit of roof racks over other other styles. Once secured, the bikes won’t impede your access to the rear of the vehicle, allowing you to easily access luggage and other gear after you’ve pulled over. Another benefit is you will have more visibility of the road behind you from your rear view mirror, however, be mindful when travelling in areas with low-hanging tree branches and, of course, car parks.

TOW BALL RACKS

Easy storage and installation are the two biggest advantages to tow ball racks. Most can be installed in a few easy steps and will easily fold down so they can be packed away neatly in the rear of your vehicle when not in use.

With towball racks, for example, check the maximum capacity of your vehicle can withstand before purchasing. Don’t stress - each make and model will come with a step-by-step instruction guide.
