About the car: Volvo XC60
The Volvo XC60 is a 5-door SUV built since 2008. The model has had two generations, and the second, on the SPA platform, has been built since March 2017.
For a towbar-mounted rack, what matters is the towbar and the space behind the car, not the type of bars on the roof. The Menabo Alcor 4 fixes to the towbar, so roof bars play no part in the fitting.
What we fitted on this Volvo XC60
The Menabo Alcor 4 carries 4 bikes and is made of aluminium, in silver and black. It attaches to the towbar with a Rapid-Lock lever system, and the rack tilts, so you can open the boot even with the rack fitted. It has a lock for the rack and for the bikes.
The specifications list a number plate holder with lights, a 13/7-pin socket and a rack weight of 24 kg. The rack is compatible with electric bikes (eBike) and fat bikes, according to the product page. Before every trip, check that the lever is locked and that the rack is fixed firmly on the towbar.
Technical details and what to watch for
- The rack carries 60 kg, and each bike can weigh a maximum of 25 kg.
- It has separate locks for the rack and for the bikes, so you can protect both.
- The weight of the rack is 24 kg. Also check the towbar limit in the car's manual; the total load must stay below it.
- The dimensions on the product page are 120 cm long, 120 cm high and 22 cm wide. The total height matters for garages and car parks.
- The tilting function gives access to the boot even with the rack fitted.
