Spare Tyre & Trunk Racks

Trunk racks attach to the boot lid of your car using straps and hooks, making them suitable for vehicles without a tow bar or roof rack system. Spare tyre racks mount directly to the spare tyre on the back of a vehicle, which is common on SUVs and some 4WDs. The right choice depends on your vehicle type, so it is worth checking where your spare tyre is located and what your boot shape looks like before purchasing.

These racks are available in one, two, three, and four-bike configurations to suit solo riders, couples, and families. If you regularly ride with a group or have multiple bikes in the household, a three or four-bike rack gives you the flexibility to transport everyone at once. Choosing the right capacity upfront avoids the need to upgrade later and ensures your bikes are carried safely without overloading the rack.

Most trunk and spare tyre racks are designed to fit a wide range of vehicles, but compatibility can vary depending on your boot shape, spoiler design, and spare tyre position. It is important to check the rack's compatibility guide before purchasing, as some models suit sedans and hatchbacks better than others. If your vehicle has an external spare tyre, a spare tyre-specific rack is likely to be a more secure and stable option.

One of the main advantages of these rack types is that they do not require permanent installation, making them a practical choice for occasional use or when sharing a vehicle. Most models attach using adjustable straps and hooks that can be fitted and removed in a matter of minutes. Ease of setup can vary between models, so if quick loading and unloading is a priority, look for racks with clearly labelled straps and secure locking mechanisms.
