Fast Loading with Platform Support

The PBR uses a platform-style design with an adjustable arm to support each bike by the wheels. The wheel trays suit wheel diameters from 20" to 29" and tyres up to 5" wide, with narrow grooves designed for road bike tyres. Long padded wheel straps help secure the wheels while protecting rims, including carbon rims, during transport.

Designed to Protect Your Bike

The frame-free securing system holds bikes without clamping the frame, helping prevent scratches, marks, or frame damage. This makes it suitable for a wide range of bike styles, including bikes with disc brakes and many smaller kids’ bikes. The adjustable securing arm is designed to clear disc brakes and is small fender friendly, giving you a practical setup for family rides, trail bikes, and e-bikes.

Built for Australian Conditions

Made for real-world use on Australian roads and tracks, the PBR is designed with added support for off-road travel when fitted with the required anti-wobble plate. For off-road use, the rack’s load capacity is reduced by 30%. The integrated anti-rattle hitch feature helps minimise movement at the hitch, keeping the rack more stable when carrying bikes behind your vehicle.

No Extras Needed

The PBR comes ready with the features you need for a complete hitch mounted bike carrier setup. Integrated cable locks help secure bikes to the carrier, while the locking hitch pin helps secure the carrier to the vehicle using the same key. A tilt-down lever allows rear boot access on many vehicles, making it easier to reach your gear without removing the rack.
