Atera GENIO PRO Advanced bike carrier (2 bikes) no. 022780

Atera have been making superb tow bar racks for may years, the Genio Pro is their most innovative yet. They've really future-proofed this rack. It carriers anything from a small kid bikes, to huge MTBs or heavy eBikes. It has a massive tilting angle - you can even open the vertical tailgate of an MPV or a van (e.g. the Vito or T6). You can rest assured that whatever bike you ride, or car you drive, you'll be using the Genio Pro for years to come.

What makes the Genio Pro so special?

The Genio Pro tilts far enough that vertical tailgates can be opened. Most tow bar racks only tilt far enough to open the boot on a hatchback / saloon / estate or SUV. The Genio Pro has multiple tilt settings, the extended angle is ideal if you have an MPV or a van with a vertical tailgate (e.g. the T5/T6 or Vito). You can check the tilting diagram (on the specifications tab) to be sure that this rack tilts far enough to work with the tailgate on your vehicle.

The Genio Pro features Atera's new 'Plug & Drive' system. This intuitive quick-release fitting features the most sophisticated, one-hand mounting ever for a bike carrier. Simply put the folded Genio Pro on the tow bar, press down the lever and you're done.

The wheel trays fit virtually all bikes. The 124cm wide platform will take anything from small children's bikes to large bikes with bigger wheelbases. It will carry bikes up to 30kg, so is a great option for eBikes. The wheel straps take anything from skinny road bike tyres to 3.8" wheels (a longer strap is available separately for 4" tyres).

The bike holder arms can be removed (when unlocked) so they can be repositioned without the need to remove the bikes and start again. They fit oval and other outsize frames, as well as round ones. Cushioning on the straps protects your bike frame. The lockable wrap-around strap provides a much safer grip on the bike frame than just a ‘jaws’ type holder; Atera’s strap has a sprung steel core to it, giving very good theft protection as well as extra safety – it’s not just a plastic strap!

The bike platform rotates to fold in an innovative way. As well as protecting the lights from damage – the lights are always the vulnerable part of a tow bar carrier - this folding system means that it’s the clean side of the platform (not the underside) that’s on the outside when folded. This means that you won’t be cleaning off the grease and salt from the road on your clothes, or on anything else in your car boot space.

You can carry the Genio Pro very ergonomically, standing upright and with no strain on your back. When you place it on the tow ball it stays on the horizontal.

Easy folding allows for ergonomic / safe handling and fitting, and also makes the carrier small enough to put safely in the car boot, out of the way, when you’re out for a ride – making it easier to fit your car into a packing space.

The environment behind a car is a pretty hostile place for a bike – a steady spray of dirty salt and grease – the bike platform provides useful protection for the bikes compared to most tow bar carriers. The frame is made from matt anodised aluminium - strong and lightweight.

A loading rail (useful for e-bikes in particular) and a storage bag is available (see below).

Delivery FAQs

When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday (before 1pm) should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The arrangements for Very Heavy Items are different and are shown above.

What about Next Working Day delivery?
Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next working day, if the order is placed before the cut-off time (see above). Some will arrive on the second working day if there has been a "split-delivery". So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can and leave the rest for the next trailer.

Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, all courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.

Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.

Payment options:

We take the following cards, and also PayPal. Please note that the entry on your card statement will be from "The Roof Box Company".
