Roof, rear and clutch carrier In the trade one distinguishes between three types of bicycle carriers: ● roof rack ● rear carrier ● coupling support The roof rack is the most widely used. In terms of price, the roof rack is unbeatable compared to the other two systems. But this is only an apparent advantage, because roof carrier systems increase the fuel consumption of the vehicle not insignificant due to their poor aerodynamics. Added to this is the increased susceptibility to wind, which demands a sensitive steering response from the driver.

Most models can be mounted with a few handles and without special tools at the rear of the vehicle. The boot remains accessible at all times, allowing suitcases and bags to be easily loaded or unloaded. Tailgate carriers are available in different variants - so bicycles can be easily transported with this mounting system.

The clutch carrier - a system that sits on the trailer hitch of the vehicle - is considered to be the safest carrier system. This system impresses with its low height, so that the view to the rear is largely free. The aerodynamics of the clutch carriers is better by the low air resistance than in the other two fastening systems. This has a very positive effect on longer trips to the fuel consumption and thus spares the wallet.
