Thule VeloCompact 2-bike platform towbar mounted bike rack

[AndyB]

Does this tilting towbar bike rack clear the MP tailgate when in ‘tilt’ mode , allowing the tailgate to fully open ?

 

[JulieG]

We have the three bike version and it does not tilt sufficiently to open the tailgate

The only ones I've found are the Atera Strada dl3 or the Thule Velospace. See the Camping Secrets YouTube channel:

Yes the Atera Strada DL3 works very well.

I guess for other tilt bike racks , which foul the tailgate, a spacer is the solution?

Not if you have a westfalia removable tow hitch…. But it might on permanent installations.

Hi. The Atera Genio Pro Advanced 2 bike rack works well with the Marco Polo. It has 3 tilt levels and the third clears the tailgate when lowered. I purchased mine from roofbox.co.uk who where very helpful in providing advice for the right model.
