Showroom: Drumul Lunca Corbului 2, Sector 3, Bucharest, Romania
We fitted the Menabo Marius bike rack, with room for 3 bikes, on the towbar of a Toyota Land Cruiser in the SuportBicicleta.ro showroom, now at Drumul Lunca Corbului 2, Sector 3, Bucharest, Romania. Towbar fitting does not use roof bars, so the choice is made according to the car's towbar.
In brief
- Car: Toyota Land Cruiser with side-hinged rear doors, spare wheel mounted on the door
- Fitted: Menabo Marius rack for 3 bikes, made of steel, weighing 4.9 kg itself
- Capacity: carries 45 kg in total, and each bike can weigh a maximum of 15 kg
- Fitting: attaches to the towbar with the Rapid-Lock system, plus straps that tie the rack to the boot or tailgate
About the car: Toyota Land Cruiser
The Toyota Land Cruiser is an off-road SUV. The car in the photo has side-hinged rear doors, that is, two doors that open like a gate, and the spare wheel is mounted on the rear door.
For a towbar rack, the towbar and the way the rack attaches matter more than the type of roof bars, so the permitted load on the towbar is worth checking in the car's handbook.
What we fitted on this Toyota Land Cruiser
The rack is the Menabo Marius for 3 bikes, made of steel, with special clamps that hold the bikes securely. It fixes to the towbar with the Rapid-Lock system, and special straps tie it once more to the boot or the tailgate. The rack weighs 4.9 kg.
The Marius does not tilt, so access to the boot stays limited when the rack is fitted. It has no locks for the rack or for the bikes, no light board and no electrical socket, so the visibility of the rear lights must be checked when you carry bikes.
Technical details and what to watch for
- The rack carries 45 kg in total, and each bike can weigh a maximum of 15 kg. For 3 bikes, check the total before you set off.
- The Menabo Marius is not compatible with electric bikes (eBike) or fat bikes, according to the product specifications. For e-bikes and fat bikes, see the category of towbar-mounted bike racks and check on each model's page whether it accepts this type of bike.
- Bikes can cover the rear lights and the number plate, so check visibility before you leave.
- The permitted load on the towbar must be checked in the car's handbook.
- You will find the fitting instructions below as a PDF. After fitting, check the Rapid-Lock fixing before every journey.
- To choose between a towbar rack and a roof-mounted one, read the guide to roof-mounted and towbar-mounted racks.
