Gear Detail

The BuzzRack Beetle is a robust rack that will carry up to three bikes and fits many cars. It attaches to the tailgate using six straps and foam pads on the rack protect your bumper / tailgate.

Other great features of this easy-to-use rack include:

 

  • The rack is adjusted with an easy-to-use cam lever mechanism with a quick release handle
  • The rack only weighs 5.4kgs
  • Your bikes are help securely in place in anti-sway rubber cradles that keep your bikes separate
  • The cradles are lined with a soft rubber to protect your bike’s paintwork
  • Supplied fully assembled – ready to mount to your car
  • Folds flat for easy storage
  • The support arms are 40.6cm apart, centre to centre, a distance which will suit the majority of modern frames; we supply a telescopic cross bar for use with non standard frames – see ‘frame adapter’ below.

Other features and specifications:

The narrow arm design means most bike frames will fit securely onto this rack. This carrier has a distance of 40cm between the bike support arms. An ‘artificial cross bar’ will be required for some ladies and full-suspension bikes (listed below).

The majority of cars require a lighting board (shown as an option below) and number plate when using this rack.

Please note that you cannot use rear fixing carriers on cars with rear plastic spoilers, or on vehicles where modifications to the roof or tailgate would have an effect on the fitting of the carrier. Find a different solution – either roof mounting and/or tow bar mounting. Important fitting information: The bikes will obscure the lights on the back of this vehicle so you will also need a lighting board (listed below) when using a boot mounting rack on this car. You will need to have a socket fitted for the lighting board to plug into. Depending on the position of your number plate you may also need a replacement number plate if this is also obscured.
