Mercedes-Benz C200 (W203) with Menabo Biki tailgate bike rack

We fitted the Menabo Biki bike rack on a Mercedes-Benz C200 in the SuportBicicleta.ro showroom at Drumul Lunca Corbului 2, Sector 3, Bucharest, Romania. Below you will find what you need to know about the car, the rack and the fitting.

About the car: Mercedes-Benz C200 W203

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class W203 was built and sold by DaimlerChrysler between 1999 and 2010. The W203 saloon was built from March 1999 to March 2007, and at the start of 2004 the model received a facelift. The internal codes are W203 for the saloon, S203 for the estate and CL203 for the coupe. In the photo the car is a 4-door saloon with a CDI badge on the boot lid.

For a saloon, a tailgate rack is the most direct option: the Biki attaches to the boot lid at 6 points, so it does not depend on roof bars. Before fitting, clean the boot lid, so that the rack grips well.

What we fitted on this Mercedes-Benz C200

We fitted the the Menabo Biki rack for 3 bikes, fixed to the tailgate or boot lid of the car. It is made of steel, in silver and black, and it is foldable.

It weighs 4 kg and its packaging measures 67 x 52 x 10 cm. It is compatible with fat bikes, but does not take e-bikes.

Technical details and what to watch for

• Capacity: the maximum supported weight is 45 kg, and the bikes on the rack must stay within this limit.
• Compatibility: The Biki takes fat bikes, but does not take e-bikes. For electric bikes (e-bikes) you can look at the towbar-mounted bike racks category and check on each model's page whether it accepts this type of bike.
• Bikes: the bikes touch each other on the rack, so check that the frames do not get scratched.
• Fitting: the rack attaches at the 6 bodywork points. The detailed steps are in tailgate bike rack fitting guide.
• Instructions: you will find the fitting instructions below, in PDF.
