Maxxraxx Bike Rack.

[SolarB]

Does anyone have experience of using a Maxxraxx rack on a Galaxy? I need one to fit a detachable tow ball which pushes the price above

depends? not a great lover of carriers that just allow the bikes to hang loose and allow the possibility of them moving and slamming into the car under brakeing or acceleration!

are you going tow anything at the same time? if not and depending on how many bike you are going to carry? you maybe better off with something like this.....

I'd not thought of what happens if you brake suddenly, I might have to look at other options.

Hi,

 

I have on and it is a great piece of kit, a lot better that the Thule twin arm type. Its comes apart for very easy storage,put it together and load the bikes (after practice)in 5 minutes, it is one of the few that has an integral locking system (1:to the tow bar; 2:locking the bikes to the frame itself; 3:locking the light board to the frame.) You can tip to allow access to the boot and for the cost (try ebay) you can't beat it.

I brought a high rise thule for mine and am very impressed. It bolt's up tight and

don't slide around, it does not cover the rear light's or reg plate so no need for a light board.

The bike's are kept in place by solid bar's at the top which secure and lock the frame's and the

wheel's are strapped on the runner's.

I carried 4 bike's on it for around 1000 miles on holiday and the only fault i could

find with it was opening the rear door (made it heavy to lift).

I have a fixed tobar and bought a MaxxRax for it 3 Galaxys and 1 volvo ago. It's still going strong on the back of my Galaxy now - Brilliant bit of BRITISH kit
