About the car: Mitsubishi Outlander

The Mitsubishi Outlander is a 5-door SUV. A towbar-mounted rack does not need roof bars, so the roof stays free.

The first things to check for a towbar rack are the towbar and the car's electrical socket, because the rack connects through it. If the car has a towbar, the rack stays fixed on it, and compatibility with the car should be checked before buying.

What we fitted on this Outlander

We fitted the the Menabo Antares Plus towbar bike rack for 3 bikes, foldable. The rack carries 3 bikes, up to 25 kg each and 60 kg in total. It has locks for the rack and for the bikes, and folds down for storage.

The Antares Plus has its own rear lights and a 13/7-pin electrical socket. It is compatible with electric bikes (eBikes) and Fat Bikes. It is not compatible with a box mounted on it, so do not combine it with one.
