Number Of Bikes

How many bikes can be carried on the towbar bike rack.

Max Load
towbar load

The towbar load is an indicator of the weight carrying capacity of the towbar.

The registered towbar load can be found in the vehicle registration certificate under point 13 and has to be stringently observed.

The towbar load always depends on the vehicle and can therefore vary from type to type.

Not relevant for tailgate racks.

Maximum wheelbase of the bike

Describes the distance from the front wheel hub to the rear wheel hub.

NOTE: Depending on the wheelbase of the bike, the hub of the bike may protrude beyond the wheel rail of the hitch carrier.

Tileable with bikes on

The coupling carrier can be folded away from the vehicle so that the tailgate of the vehicle can also be opened when it is loaded or unloaded.

60° folding angle: sufficient for almost all limousines, station wagons, SUVs

90° folding angle: particularly suitable for vehicles with a very low tailgate (e.g. VW T5/T6, Caddy, Mercedes V-Class and similar designs).

Due to different trailer hitch types and their varying installation situations, a trial installation is recommended to ensure that the tailgate opens.

ATTENTION: with a 90° folding angle, depending on the handlebar width, there is a possibility that the bicycle handlebars may collide with the ground.

Rail Gap

Generally describes the distance from the center of the wheel rail to the center of the wheel rail.

Max wheel width of the bike

NOTE: Depending on the tire width, it can happen that the tires only stand up on the edges of the bicycle rails.
