The Discovery Rack is specifically for vehicles with tow bars fitted and has 6 inch offset arms. The offset arms have been designed to ensure that the bike rack can fit vehicles which have spare wheels attached to the rear. The Discovery Rack does not however fit every 4x4 with a spare wheel. For those vehicles with wider spare wheels, the Landrover Rack with 10 inch offset arms may be required. Please refer to our fitting guide to find out which rack you will need.

We also advise that the Discovery Rack is purchased for vehicles with flat backs such as people carriers, motor homes, 4x4s without spare wheels etc. This is to ensure that the pedals and the handlebars of the first bike on the rack have sufficient clearance from the back of such vehicles.

Supplied with the Behind the Ball mounting block you can tow at the same time as transporting your bikes.   However, we recommend that no more than 2 bicycles should be loaded whilst towing as more may interfere with your turning circle. We also recommend that before setting off on a journey you should check that the rack does not interfere with the turning circle with and without the bikes loaded.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL OF OUR TOWBAR RACKS OPERATE A QUICK RELEASE SYSTEM FROM THE TOWBAR MOUNTING BLOCK USING A PATENTED SECURING PIN WHICH PASSES THROUGH THE BLOCK AND THE BOTTOM OF THE RACK.

You may need to purchase a lighting unit if the bike rack prevents your number plate and back lights from being seen by other road users.

We recommend that the bikes placed on the rack weigh no more than 15 kg each.
