Rola VBR5 – Built to Carry 5 Bikes, Engineered for Aussie Trails

Fast Loading with One Strap

The VBR5 uses Rola’s innovative one-strap securing system. Just loop the strap over your rear wheel, hook it into the crossbar, pull tight with the cambuckle, and you're ready to go. No complicated elastic tie-downs or frame clamps needed, just simple, secure loading.

Designed to Protect Your Bike

Front wheel hoops include anti-crush tubes and precision laser-cut channels to prevent tyre movement, scratching, or frame contact. Additional clearance and angled slides make it easier to load the front wheel without damaging spokes or rims.

Built to Last in Harsh Environments

Made from heavy-duty steel and finished with Rola’s patented 2-stage e-coat and powder coat system, the VBR5 outperforms basic zinc-plated racks in preventing rust and wear. Computer-aided design and lab testing ensure long-term durability across corrugated tracks and rough terrain.
