What to Compare Before Buying
- Bike axle type: This rack is stated for Thru-axle bikes, Quick-release bikes and bikes with disc brakes. Match the axle format and wheel setup to your bike.
- Adapter needs: 20×110 mm Thru-axle bikes need an additional adapter. Check whether that applies to your bike before choosing an offer.
- Vehicle layout: The carrier position can be changed from one side of the car to the other, so consider which side suits your roof access best.
- Variant choice: The rack is black and one-size. Confirm those details match the version you want.
Before You Decide
Check that your bike uses a supported axle format and that any extra adapter needed for 20×110 mm Thru-axle bikes is accounted for. Confirm the black, one-size version is the right fit for your setup, and make sure the roof-carrying arrangement suits your vehicle and loading routine.
Planning Your Roof Load Setup
Before fitting the rack, it helps to check how you normally lift the bike onto the roof and from which side you want to access it. The carrier can be switched from one side of the car to the other, so you can think about roof access and parking space in advance. For bikes with 20×110 mm Thru-axles, remember to account for the extra adapter in your setup plan.
