Rola's vertical style bike carriers have all the features you need in this type of carrier and they've been designed and tested in the harsh Aussie conditions so you can rest assured they won't let you down.
With Rola's MetalShield coating method on this rack it'll be sure to last for years to come. MetalShield is a patented two stage system, with an e-coat followed by powder coating, this is a step above much of their competition which will endure for years to come.
Your bikes are secured by their wheels so there's no frame contact with this carrier, allowing you to carry bikes with more delicate finishes such as carbon framed bikes. The front wheel hoops are well thought out, featuring anti-crush tubes and laser cut rebates which prevent movement, to assist in loading they also have an angled slide and they have designed them with extra clearance for your spokes. All in all they have put a great deal of effort into the design of a relatively simple mechanism to ensure the best user experience possible. Their method to secure the rear wheel of your bike is also innovative and easy to use, with a cam buckle strap that you simply loop through your rear wheel hook onto the lower crossbar and pull tight.
For extra convenience it has a built in tilting mechanism to allow you to access the rear of your vehicle with the rack installed.
The Rola vertical rack doesn't skimp on versatility either, it can accomodate a broad range of bike types and sizes including e-bikes with its 27kg per bike weight capacity. It'll fit bikes with wheel sizes ranging from 20in up to 29in and up to 3.7in wide tires.
This carrier is not a light weight, so although it is easy to install there is some assembly required and the sheer weight of it makes it a job best suited to two people. For more information on fitting please refer to the instructions.
Rola have also included an anti-rattle system with this carrier for extra stability on rough roads, plus it includes a number plate holder to ensure you comply with road laws.
Please check your hitch rating and local state laws before using this carrier.
