Fiesta MK 7.5 cycle rack

Featured Replies

Hi, can anyone recommend a boot mounted cycle rack for two mountain bikes that fits on the boot of a 2016 Fiesta MK7.5 ? It's a Red Edition so has the large spoiler at the top of the boot lid. The car doesn't have a tow bar and I don't want one fitted just for carrying bikes a few times a year. Also the bikes are a bit too heavy to use a roof mounted rack. Thanks.



is a roof mounted carrier definitely ruled out? it is in my opinion the best solution for the fiesta and gives you options for the future. transporting a double mattress for example or fitting a roof box to name 2.my bike is 17kg and it goes on no problem and nobody would call me a strong person. the trick is to pick the bike up with both hands and place it on the rack then hold it there with one hand (no weight as its on the rack) then swivel the retaining arm in to place and lock. the rack can be left in place all the time if you wish without restricting access to the car.

a boot mounted bike carrier would need to be removed when not in use would reduce rear vision when in use you will probably also need light board and number plate to avoid unwanted attention from police
