"I am a bit useless when it comes to putting things together like this, in fact it is my idea of hell. I fitted it in about 5 mins. Then I took it apart because it all went together so easy I though I had fitted it wrongly! I did it again a second time and it just as quick, re-read the instructions and relised I had it correct the first time, (as well as the second), it was as simple as it seems.
Bikes on it were secure, and now my wife , 3 kids and me can get out and do some proper cycling."
James Mann, Romsey
Definitely the leading bike rack

Pros: Easy to fit, solid build and neat looking. I like the fact you can buy spares and add parts.

"I have had this bike rack for about one and a half years and I can tell you don't waste your time or money on any other bike rack. This bike rack does everything it should do. I have a discovery and carry four bikes. I have also towed a caravan with the bikes on the back. No problem."

"Fantastic product, very clever design, you can still tow and have all your bikes on the rack and not worry about your expensive bikes falling off. Have had the Maxxraxx for over a year and now acquired one for our other vehicle, which has a swan neck tow bar. Thanks to Maxxraxx for this excellent service."
Ken Canham, Godstone, Surrey
John Ward, Exmouth, Devon
"I'd just like to thank you, probably because we tend to take our maxxraxx for granted! We've had our version for over 3 years now and it is fantastic. The product is great, accessories fantastic (love the storage/carry bag) and website really informative. Thank you, thank you ... (times that by 3 1/2 years!) Thank you sincerely."
Chris Middle, Blandford Forum, Dorset
"We've had a fantastic summer as a family on our bikes. Our new carrier is so easy to use we actually get the bikes out all the time. Colleagues have since purchased the same carrier having seen ours! Well done a great product."
Gordon Greig, Cluny, Fife
"Hi there - I have recently purchased one of your bike racks and am absolutely delighted with it. Such a simple yet clever, secure design and so user friendly. I have used other towball racks and Fiamma door mounted racks and find the Maxxraxx the best."
C Quinn, Waltham Cross, Herts
"Thank You for your advice and direction. It's appreciated. GT Towing were excellent. They fitted a towbar and supplied the MaxxRaxx (5 bikes). They were cheerful and gave me a demo etc. They did a top job, great service and at £480 I thought it was very good value for the quality of both the towbar and the MaxxRaxx fixtures. This included a number plate, board and straps etc.
I've used the MaxxRaxx now on both weekends since the fitting and am delighted with it."
Kirsty Flude, Barking
"Have just returned from a week in the South of France, complete with bike rack. The kids & I developed a new game in the car which is now called..... Our bike rack is better than yours.........as we drove past lots of other people...( yep how sad am I). Kirsty (Proud owner of a Discovery Maxxraxx)"
Holly, Wakefield
"It does exactly what it says on the tin. MAXXRAXX reassured me that it was so easy and anyone could use it, they were right!"

Would you recommend this product to a friend? I'd certainly recommend Maxxraxx (and indeed have)
"I'd certainly recommend Maxxraxx (and indeed have) to anyone looking for a tow bar mounted bike rack. I've been using mine regularly for 6 years now on 4 different cars and have been really impressed. Its simplicity of use is marvellous and is far less hassle than other tow bar racks I've used and leaves boot mounted ones in its dust. The ability to use both the tow bar & the boot (we have 2 dogs as well) at the same time as the rack while on holiday is a real benefit as well. The ability to fold it down afterwards just makes it all the more remarkable.
I carry up to 4 mountain bikes at any one time and always feel that they are secure on the rack. I dread to think how many thousands of miles I've done with this rack but the bikes always arrive safe & secure.
The customer service & back-up is second to none and on the very odd occasion where I have had a question or problem response has always been very quick and satisfactory.
Thanks for such a great bit of kit."
Si McNally, Nantwich, Cheshire
Paul Hesketh, Up Holland, Lancs
"We are very pleased with it (the rack) especially as we can still get the back door open with the rack fitted. The design is easy to fit and robust. Hats off to you on a good product and service."
Peter Buckley, Glossop Derbyshire
"Thanks for your help. I've fitted the rack — and it is fantastic. A really impressive but simple design, with so much functionality. Very pleased with it." July 2009
Graham Purves, Detmold Germany
"Just like to say thanks, the "Maxxraxx" is awesome. I've spent many weeks pondering which type of bike carrier to buy then I saw the Maxxraxx in the Tamar Trailer Towbar Centre in Plymouth. Money well spent, this is a very sturdy and robust bike rack. I'll be recommending this to my friends." April 2009
Sam Pike, Somerset
"Many thanks for your great customer service. A pleasure to deal with!"
Helen Stirrup, Up Holland, Lancs
"I am just emailing you to let you know that our bike rack arrived at 12.25 today after ordering it yesterday morning. My husband fitted the plate to the tow ball this evening and we assembled the rack and tried the bikes on it. We are so impressed with the rack both in terms of its quality and design and how easy it is to assemble and mount the bikes. It must be the best bike rack on the market and we would recommend it to anyone - it is so secure and the bikes are held well away from the car.
Thank you Maxxraxx!!"
Derek Wakefield, Cobham, Surrey
"Our Maxxraxx carrier is brilliant; very easy to assemble and dismantle;... saves so much time as we don't need to off load the bikes to get into the boot...... also with our caravan, the bikes fit perfectly on the rack whilst towing!!" August 2009
Graham Cook, Aberdeen
"The rack is a tremendous piece of kit, affording us scope to carry bikes and tow the caravan at the same time. And with a Swan Neck tow-bar."
Peter Bartholomew, Mintlaw, Aberdeenshire
"I wanted a well built/non flimsy unit for expensive carbon tri and race bikes and the Maxxraxx 2 Bike storage Unit is perfect for me. Solid and well engineered, useful strapping and locking mechanism. Great product and service. Well done."
Duncan McNutt, Coleshill, Warwickshire
"Today I used our recently purchased Maxxraxx for the first time, and I agree with everyone else's comments! Its brilliant! I only had three bikes on the back today but it is so easy to use and put together. By far the best rack I have had. Many thanks."
Colin and Jo Stubbings, Yate, S Glos
"Just wanted to say, having just used our new MAXXRAXX Premier bike carrier on a recent break, that we are over the moon. The product was unbelievably easy to assemble & place bikes into position for transportation. It was quick & easy to do. We had total confidence in the secure carrying whilst driving to our destination with the 4 bikes. BRILLIANT!!!
A very happy customer!"
Mr Todd, Denbigh
"Maxxraxx is absolutely Spot on, a smashing piece of kit!"
Callum Steel, Cranwell, Lincolnshire
"I have been using a MAXXRAXX since 1994/95. I regularly carry 4 bikes and have never seen a carrier that is as easy to use or as secure as my MAXXRAXX. I have used it with a Saab, a Renault and now a Land Rover and as far as I am concerned, there are only two words needed to describe MAXXRAXX - The Best."
Beverly Gibbard
"Very pleased with not only the carrier but the way the order was handled from start to finish."
Gavin Keith, Dunblane
"I appreciate your excellent service. If only this was the norm rather than an exception in the service industry!"
