About the car: Volvo S60 first generation (P2)
The first-generation Volvo S60 was built between 2000 and 2009, for the 2001-2010 model years. The model was launched in 2000 as a sports saloon on the Volvo P2 platform, and the second generation appeared in 2010.
In the fitting photo, the car is a black saloon with an S60 badge, and the rack is strapped onto the boot lid. The saloon has no roof rails on the roof, so a tailgate rack does not depend on roof bars. Before you buy, check the shape of the boot, because how well the rack sits depends on it.
What we fitted on this Volvo S60
We fitted the the Menabo Biki rack for 3 bikes, a foldable steel model that fits on the tailgate or boot lid. It has 6 contact points on the body and carries up to 45 kg, and the bikes are fixed to the frame.
The rack folds, and the package measures 67 x 52 x 10 cm, so you can store it easily in a garage or a storage cupboard. You will find the fitting instructions below as a PDF.
Technical details and what to watch for
- Specifications: steel, 4 kg, for 3 bikes, maximum load 45 kg, foldable, package 67 x 52 x 10 cm.
- Bikes: the rack takes fat bikes, but not e-bikes. The bikes touch each other, so put some protection between the frames so they do not get scratched.
- Load: weigh the bikes before you set off, so that you stay under the 45 kg limit.
- Visibility: after fitting, check that the number plate and the rear lights of the car remain visible.
- Anti-theft lock: the rack has no anti-theft lock, and the bikes have no lock included, so secure them separately if you leave them unattended.
- Fitting steps: for the fitting steps, read the fitting guide for rear-mounted bike racks.
- 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.
