It takes mountain bikes, road bikes and up to two E-Bikes, and a vice-style clamp on the tow ball stops it shifting about once the road turns rough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLoading four bikes for a family trip usually means a mix of frame sizes, tyre widths and, increasingly, an E-Bike or two that weigh more than the rest. This platform gives each bike its own adjustable channel, so wider tyres and a longer E-Bike wheelbase fit alongside standard road and mountain bikes without crowding each other. The frame grips tighten by hand, so there is nothing to fetch from a toolbox once you are at the trailhead, and the whole rack folds down when the bikes come off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarries up to 4 bikes\u003c\/strong\u003e – spaces them 210mm apart to help protect handlebars and pedals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTakes up to 2 E-Bikes\u003c\/strong\u003e – supports the longer wheelbase of an E-Bike alongside standard bikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVice-style tow-ball clamp\u003c\/strong\u003e – stops the rack shifting about once the tar turns to gravel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand-tightened frame grips\u003c\/strong\u003e – no tools needed to secure each bike at the trailhead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear lights and plate holder built in\u003c\/strong\u003e – keeps the back of the rack visible on the road\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePad-lock secures the rack\u003c\/strong\u003e – locks the whole unit to the vehicle, not just the bikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFolding support arm\u003c\/strong\u003e – collapses for compact storage once the bikes are off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFamilies who want every bike on every trip\u003c\/strong\u003e since the platform takes up to four bikes at once.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRiders adding an E-Bike to the mix\u003c\/strong\u003e because the rack takes up to two, with batteries removed for transport.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnyone tackling rough roads or gravel\u003c\/strong\u003e thanks to the vice-style clamp holding the rack steady.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLocal Support from 4Matt Campers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur \u003cstrong\u003eCape Town\u003c\/strong\u003e team can help you confirm your towbar rating before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Holdfast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220506\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 4 bikes (60kg total, check your towbar rating)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBike spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 210mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum tyre width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76mm (3 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eE-Bike compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 2 E-Bikes, remove batteries before transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheelbase support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 1250mm to 1350mm for E-Bikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTowbar:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tow ball mount, gooseneck compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecurity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pad-lock secures rack to vehicle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOptional Fitment \/ Upgrade Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore you order, check the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck your towbar's rated towing weight against the rack's 60kg total loaded weight, spread across the bikes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasure your bikes' tyre width against the 76mm (3-inch) maximum, and take E-Bike batteries off before loading.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt is tow ball mounted, so you will need a standard or gooseneck towbar;
