Hi
I have a Scott Genius 710 plus (2017) and a Scott Contessa Genius 710 (2017). Both have a rear shock that is very close to the top tube. I need a bike carrier (ideally for 3 or 4 bikes, but could live with 2) which is rear mount. I cannot have a tow bar or roof mounted one (I have lease cars through work which can't be modified).
The problem is that it looks like they all attach to the top tube and I don't think they will fit my bikes because of the rear shock. Can anyone recommend a rear mount carrier that will definitely work with my bikes?
Thanks

How about the Saris Gran Fondo rack? It fits on the rear of the car and it holds the bikes by their wheels, so the frame geometry is not an issue.
Here's a link to Halfords web page for the rack, other retailers are available (although prices look much of a muchness).Viscount Grand Touring - in bits

Thank you
That looks like it will do the job (not sure how it will cope with my 27.5+ tyres, but have ordered one so will find out). Thank you for the advice 0 -
Fondo is nice but if you put it vertical and your car is lowered it will probably rub on the tarmac.

Hmmm, might be a problem... Any other recommendations to throw into the mix?_kramer wrote:Fondo is nice but if you put it vertical and your car is lowered it will probably rub on the tarmac.

Is roof rack not an option or a tow bar type rack if you have a tow bar though?
I was gonna suggest SeaSucker roof rack but that's more expensive, but if price isn't an issue then I think its nice.
