Heading out into the countryside with your bikes can be a challenge for any keen cyclist, and when it comes to the easiest way to carry them, there is only one answer: a bike rack that suits your needs. Bike racks come in different designs, and the main difference between them is the way they attach to the car.

Bike racks can attach to roof bars, to the tailgate or boot lid, or to the car's towbar. Depending on how many bikes you need to carry, a very good option for you could be the Menabo Race 4 bike rack.

This rack carries 4 bikes at once, wherever you need to take them. Whether you are off for a relaxed ride in the park with the family or heading for the mountains with friends, this type of rack is easy to fit and easy to use.

How do you fit the Menabo Race 4 bike rack?

The Race 4 is easy to fit to your car, as it attaches to the towbar with a screw clamp. When you attach the rack to the towbar, make sure it sits straight and is tightened firmly.

Once the rack is on the car, get the bikes ready to load. Each of the four bikes is secured to the rack at two points: by the frame holders and by the wheel straps.

Secure each bike in this order: first the frame holders on the frame, then the straps on the wheels.

How safe is a towbar bike rack?

Of all the types of bike rack, the ones that attach to the towbar are the safest. The reason is simple: sitting behind the car, the rack is fully sheltered from the wind.

On top of that, the towbar is one of the strongest and most secure points on the car. Your bikes stay safe for the whole journey, and because each one is held at two points on the rack, they are even more secure.

A handy extra with the Menabo Race 4 is that it works with the Menabo Nekkar towbar cargo box. So if you want to carry luggage instead of bikes, you get a 2-in-1 carrier.

The Menabo rack can carry a maximum of 60 kg. In other words, each bike can weigh up to 15 kg. The Race 4 also comes with approved rear lights and a 13/7-pin plug.

The Race 4 bike rack is also fitted with an extra safety strap that backs up the towbar clamp. The strap hooks onto the rack's frame and onto the top edge of the tailgate or boot lid. It must be used every time, because the whole mounting system carries the considerable weight of four bikes.
