MytaYt towbar-mounted bicycle carrier — compact 2-bike rack (black)
This compact towbar carrier is a straightforward, practical bit of kit for when you need to take two bikes along. It’s been designed with everyday use in mind: keeps bikes secure, makes loading and driving simple, and lets you crack on with your trip. If plans change and you need to open the tailgate, there’s no faffing about removing the whole rack — very handy.
Key features
So, what makes this rack worth a look? Nothing flashy — just sensible, well-thought-out features that do the job. The tilt-back design gives easy boot access while the bikes stay mounted, tray-style cradles and padded arms keep frames steady and scratch-free, and a rear reflector helps with visibility in poor light. All very practical.
- Tilt-back design – open the tailgate with bikes still mounted, great when you’re loading shopping or luggage.
- Tray-style cradles and padded arms – accommodate different frame shapes and help prevent scratches.
- Safety reflector – improves visibility when driving at night or in murky conditions.
- Quick installation – clear instructions aim for about a 10-minute fit for most users.
- Vehicle compatibility – suits saloons, hatchbacks, MPVs and SUVs; not suitable for Jeeps.
Specifications and what to expect
Some practical facts: capacity is two bicycles. Weight is approximately 3.8 kg (8.3 lb). Overall dimensions are 65 x 55 x 13 cm (approx 25.6 x 21.7 x 5.1 in). The unit comes as a single black rack. Manufacturer reference and part number are included for anyone who wants to check vehicle compatibility or order spares.
Who this is for and use cases
If you do short cycling weekends, ferry the kids’ bikes to the park or simply want a reliable way to move two bikes without heaving them onto the roof, this is a sensible choice. It’s ideal for cars with a towbar and removes the need to lift bikes overhead — a real bonus in winter or when the bikes are heavy. If you’re unsure about fitment on a particular vehicle, it’s best to check your towbar specs first.
Notes and practical tips
Handy checks before you buy: confirm your towbar type and clearance, make sure the bike frames line up with the tray spacing, and tighten all fittings after the first short run. The rack itself isn’t heavy, but like any carrier, give it a quick once-over during long journeys. If your vehicle is unusual (for example, certain Jeeps or specialised hitches), double-check compatibility before purchase.
All in all, the MytaYt compact towbar carrier does what it sets out to do: secure transport for two bikes, straightforward fitting and fuss-free boot access when you need it. Practical, reliable and easy to use — a good everyday option for most cyclists.
