It suits drivers without a tow hitch, or anyone who wants the hitch left open for a trailer while the bikes still make the trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot every vehicle has a tow hitch, and even those that do sometimes need it for a trailer rather than a bike rack. Clamping the carrier onto roof bars you already have solves both problems: the bikes travel upright on the roof, braced against vibration and wind at highway speed, while the hitch stays open for whatever else you need to tow that trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarries 2 or 3 bikes\u003c\/strong\u003e – choose the 2-bike or 3-bike version to match your group\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamps to existing roof bars\u003c\/strong\u003e – no drilling or permanent fittings, it fastens to crossbars already on the vehicle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits most bike frame types\u003c\/strong\u003e – takes most mountain, road and hybrid bikes without extra parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt for highway-speed stability\u003c\/strong\u003e – designed to cope with the vibration and wind load of open-road travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeaves the hitch open\u003c\/strong\u003e – the bikes ride on the roof instead of taking up the tow ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrivers without a tow hitch\u003c\/strong\u003e who still want a proper bike carrier rather than squeezing bikes inside the vehicle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnyone towing a trailer on the same trip\u003c\/strong\u003e since the bikes go on the roof and the hitch stays open.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRiders with 2 or 3 bikes to move\u003c\/strong\u003e who can pick the matching SKU for their group size.\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 confirm your roof bars will take this carrier 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 221440, 221441\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 bikes (SKU 221440) or 3 bikes (SKU 221441)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clamps to existing roof rack bars or crossbars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOptional Fitment \/ Upgrade Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis carrier needs roof bars already fitted, so check the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou need existing roof bars or crossbars on your vehicle; if you do not have them yet, look at the Holdfast roof rack range first.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt clamps to most universal bar profiles, so ask us to confirm your specific bars are compatible before you order.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoose SKU 221440 for 2 bikes or SKU 221441 for 3 bikes; the two capacities are separate SKUs, not adjustable on one unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eComplete Your Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/roof-racks\"\u003eHoldfast roof rack range\u003c\/a\u003e if you need bars first, or see the wider \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/accessories\"\u003ebike carrier range\u003c\/a\u003e for tow-ball alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need roof bars already fitted?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
