Description: Check the compatibility with your vehicle on the Pendle compatibility guide
The Pendle Strap On Rack is extremely versatile and is a very good alternative rack for vehicles with no tow bar fitted. The Strap On Rack will fit the majority of vehicles, with the exception of 4x4s with rear spare wheels. The bonus of buying a Pendle Strap On Rack is that it comes fully assembled and is very easy to fit to your vehicle. The rack straps onto the back of the vehicle with strong webbed straps with gutter hooks attached to the ends.
There are 6 straps altogether to ensure that the rack is securely held in position - 2 straps hook onto the top of the vehicle's rear door, 2 straps hook onto either side of the rear door and 2 hook onto the bottom of the rear door. All of the gutter hooks are plastic coated to safeguard the vehicle's paintwork. The rubber pressure pads provided are also there as a safeguard.
The Strap On Rack has adjustable top arms so that it can fit saloons, hatchbacks, estates, people carriers and other flat backed vehicles and it also has adjustable cycle support arms. The length of the cycle support arms can be adjusted, which enables the height at which the cycles are carried to be either raised or lowered.
It may not be appropriate to fit gutter hooks to cars with glass hatches where the hooks would rest on the glass. To enable you to still fit the Strap On Rack to such vehicles, Strap On Window Attachments can be purchased as an extra. These are dumb bell type attachments, which fit inside your boot and rest on the inside of the rear door glass. To find out whether the Pendle Strap On Rack fits your vehicle and whether or not you will require Strap On Window Attachments please consult our fitting guide.
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 13.5 kg each.
Rack Capacity: 3 bikes
