Holdfast Boot Mounted 3-Bike Carrier

Short Product Summary

The Holdfast Boot Mounted 3-Bike Carrier attaches to the rear door of a hatchback or SUV using four rubberised hooks and ratchet straps, carrying up to three bicycles without a tow hitch. There is no drilling and no permanent change to the vehicle, and stabilising straps come with it to keep the load steady on rough roads.

Why This Product

Not having a tow hitch should not rule out taking bikes along, and drilling into a boot door for a permanent rack is not something most owners want either. This carrier gets around both by hooking onto the rear door itself, with padding at the contact points to keep the paintwork safe, and stabilising straps to stop the bikes swinging about once you are past smooth tar and onto rougher surfaces.

Key Features

• Carries up to 3 bicycles – handles a full group ride's worth of bikes off one boot door
• Suits most frame types – supports both mountain bikes and road bikes
• Four rubberised hooks with ratchet straps – fasten to the rear door itself, with nothing to drill or bolt on
• Stabilising straps included – keep the load centred on longer trips or rougher roads
• Padded contact points – protect the paintwork where the carrier meets the boot door
• No tow hitch required – works for hatchbacks and SUVs that do not have one fitted

Ideal For

• Hatchback and SUV owners without a tow hitch who still want to carry up to three bikes on a trip.
• Group rides and family outings since it takes mountain bikes and road bikes together on one carrier.
• Anyone who does not want to drill into their car because it hooks onto the boot door instead of a permanent fitting.

Optional Fitment / Upgrade Notes

This carrier fits the rear door of most hatchbacks and SUVs, so check the following before you order:

• It is built for a standard rear boot door; it is not recommended where the vehicle has a spare wheel mounted on the outside or a rear window reaching down to the bumper.
• If your vehicle has a tow hitch and you would rather use it, look at the Holdfast 3 & 4 Bike Hanging Rack instead.
• For 4x4s with a spare wheel on the back, the Holdfast Wheelie is the purpose-built alternative to this boot-mounted carrier.
