This is the most common tow bar fitted in the UK. This type can be easily used in conjunction with bike racks, stabilisers and other bolt on accessories. It is called "2-bolt" because of the bolts, one either side of the ball, fixing the tow ball to the rest of the tow bar. These bolts can be removed to allow accessories to be attached behind the tow ball.
