Tow Hitch Bike Racks..

Bassman

Hi folks..
Got a Corsa with a tow hitch on it, and need to get myself a bike rack for three bikes.

Presumably the best way is to get a tow hitch rack, rather than a roof type?

Having said that, do you use a tow bar rack on your car?. and if so, which one would you recommend..

thanks..

Ohh, I can possibly answer that one

We use a MaxxRaxx bike rack that fits to the towbar - 4 bike one, but will take 5 with addition of an extra section.

They also do a 3 bike unit too. You need to find out the max nose weight of your vehicle to see if it will be suitable to carry 3 bikes (think it maybe around 50kg or so).

check out the Maxx Raxx website here: http://www.maxxraxx.co.uk/Help/help_how_many_bikes.html

I,ve got a Thule rack that goes on the tow bar, takes 3 bikes, could take 4 with an adaptor. The rack also flips down so you can access the boot and came complete with a lightboard.
