Can Trunk Mount Bike Racks for 2013 BMW X5 Hold 2 Adult Bikes
Question:
Can I use your trunk mount rack for 2 adult bikes
asked by: Barbara K
Expert Reply:
Yes, trunk mount bike racks like # PR8062401 and # TH910XT can hold 2 adult bikes provided they are within the weight capacity of the bike rack. The Pro Rack carrier is rated for 30 pounds per bike and the Passage # TH910XT is rated for 35 pounds per bike.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
