4 bike racks and carriers

We recommend using a tow bar mounting rack if you need to carry 4 bikes, principly because of the weight when fully loaded. If you're thinking of carrying any specialist bikes, particularly e-bikes or fat bikes, then a tow bar mounting bike rack is certainly the best option.

Roof mounting bike carriers are an alernative option (we offer some fantastic discounts when buying multiple roof mounting bike carriers). Please note that you will need roof bars and will need to check your roof loading limit.

Many of the racks shown below are 3 bike racks, we'll include a 4th bike adapter with all of these racks. This is clearly shown below.

All our tow ball racks are in our 90 day exchange scheme so we hope that you'll buy with the confidence that if your first choice is not quite right then you can exchange it for another.

We have no doubt that Atera's STRADA Sport and E-bike (tilting) and STRADA DL (sliding) tow bar bike racks are the best. Why?

They're kind to you and your back: relatively very light, very easy to carry around
they sit horizontally on the tow ball as soon as placed there; other racks crash onto the ground until they're clamped on
they automatically adjust to all tow ball types and sizes
the shape of the frame allows you to get right behind the car boot when loading and unloading; no need to stretch awkwardly
at 100cm wide they can be placed in the car boot when you're off cycling, out of harm's way
their wheel holders provide the best wheel protection and bike stability
TÜV and City Crash tested, and winners of numerous awards
