In this article we want to show you the benefits of towbar mounted cycle carriers, to help you decide whether one would be right for you and your lifestyle.
 

The Benefits of Towbar Mounted Cycle Carriers



• Fuel efficient: great for long journeys
• Great for tall vehicles: no need to consider height restrictions in car parks or toll booths. Easy to load bikes, with minimal to no lifting required.
• No need to add more weight than needed: towbar mounted cycle carriers are designed to carry the exact amount of bikes needed, from 1 to 4.
• Free Roof and boot space: with a towbar mounted cycle carrier, roof  space is still free to load a roof box or a roof bar to carry extra cargo. Good quality towbar cycle carriers, will also allow access to the boot via tilt option.
• No dirt from bikes will fall onto your car's roof
• Minimal wind noise
