Peugeot 407 saloon with Menabo Mistral tailgate bike rack

The Menabo Mistral bike rack was fitted on a Peugeot 407 saloon in the SuportBicicleta.ro showroom at Drumul Lunca Corbului 2, Sector 3, Bucharest, Romania.

About the car: Peugeot 407 saloon

In saloon form, the Peugeot 407 has 4 doors. There is also a 5-door estate version and a 2-door coupe, and the model received a minor facelift in August 2008.

The saloon in the photo has the 407 badge on the boot, is silver, and the Mistral rack attaches to the boot with straps. The rack is designed for the tailgate or boot lid, not for the roof, so on a saloon the boot is used.

What we fitted on this Peugeot 407

We fitted the the Menabo Mistral bike rack for 3 bikes, attached to the tailgate or boot lid. It is made of steel, foldable, has 6 fixing points on the bodywork and carries 3 bikes, with a maximum supported weight of 45 kg. It is fitted with the straps in the box.

The contact surfaces with the car are rubber, with rubberised paint, and have an anti-scratch system. The rack is certified and ISO tested. 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.

Technical details and what to watch for

• Capacity: 3 bikes, maximum supported weight 45 kg.
• Protection: the contact surfaces with the car are rubber, so they do not scratch the bodywork.
• After fitting, move the rack from side to side to check that it sits firmly, and check that the bikes do not touch the bodywork with their bar ends or pedals, as explained in the guide to fitting on the tailgate.
• The bikes touch each other on the rack, so before you set off check that the frames are not being scratched.
• The rack has no anti-theft lock, and the bikes do not come with one.
• Foldable, the rack is easy to store when you are not using it.
