Understanding different styles of Bike Rack
Not sure what type of Cycle Carrier to choose? Below is a simple guide to what is needed and how bike racks are mounted to the vehicle. In general, Boot mounted racks are cheapest and tow bar mounted the most expensive. Not all racks have universal fit and the individual products will have more information. If you're unsure if a rack is suitable for your vehicle, contact us first, we are happy to help.
