A Tandem bike is really hard to fit in the trunk. That is exactly why we developed the TandemMount R4 to fit in with our line of bike racks. It is simply the best two-seater bike rack on the market. Built from non-corrosive, heat treated aluminum with a 9mm quick release, holds the fork like a champ. Designed to fit Yakima® and Thule® round and square crossbars. A EuroTandem kit is available and sold separately to fit slotted crossbars. We recommend a cable lock to secure your bike to rack."Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride."
Will it fit my factory crossbars? No. Factory crossbars are not strong enough to support the increased loads of a tandem. We strongly advise against “rigging itâ€, that will end poorly.
Will my hatchback/trunk be able to open all the way? With the TandemMount in the stowed position, you need 56†from the front of your front crossbar to the hatchback in the open position. When your tandem is loaded, it depends on the wheelbase.
Does it lock? No, we recommend a cable lock. Our Locking Quick Release is not compatible with the TandemMount R4.
