About the car: Dacia Duster I (HS)

The Dacia Duster I carries the internal code HS and was built for Europe between 2010 and 2017, on the B0 platform. In September 2013, at the Frankfurt motor show, Dacia presented the facelift version, with a new chrome grille, redesigned headlights and restyled roof bars. It is a compact 5-door SUV with a tailgate.

For a tailgate rack, the shape of the rear matters, not the roof. The Menabo Steel Bike 3 does not need roof bars: it sits on the tailgate on rubber pads and clamps and is tightened with dedicated straps at 6 points. Before you buy, check your model in the car compatibility list on the product page.

What we fitted on this Duster

The Menabo Steel Bike 3 tailgate or boot-mounted rack is made of steel and carries three bikes, with a maximum total weight of 45 kg. The rubber clamps and pads protect the bodywork and the bikes, and the bikes do not touch each other on the rack. Menabo designed it so that it does not block your view through the rear window.

The rack is foldable, so it is easy to store when you are not using it. It works with any frame diameter, but it is not compatible with e-bikes or fat bikes. The rack has no anti-theft lock of its own.

Technical details and what to watch for

Capacity: 45 kg in total for 3 bikes, which is on average 15 kg per bike when you load all three.
Rack weight: 13.5 kg; the packaging measures 120 x 13 x 10.5 cm.
Fixing: 6 points on the bodywork, with straps; no special keys are needed to fit it.
Bike compatibility: any frame diameter; e-bikes and fat bikes are not accepted.
Before your first ride, clean the tailgate where the pads make contact, so that dust or sand does not get trapped under them.
After loading the bikes, check that the number plate and the Duster's rear lights are still visible; on the product page you will find the fitting instructions and the specifications in PDF format.
