Description
BUZZRACER 4-TOWER BAR MOUNTED BICYCLE CARRIER
BUZZRACER series offers convenient assembly, user-friendly functions and compact storage. The ratchet cradle is the perfect solution for attaching the bicycle frame.
It is also a great solution for carbon frames as it does not put pressure on the carbon tubes.
The BUZZRACER 4 is a really well-designed, well-engineered piece of kit; smart, sophisticated and very good value for money.
Basic ergonomics
The BUZZRACER 4 is very easy to use and has all the essential features of a good bike carrier. And it's really powerful!
Key features of BUZZRACER 4
Assembly: Although it comes unassembled, the BUZZRACER 4 is very easy to install:
Mount the wheel support frame to the base using 8 screws, mount the light bracket with 2 screws, attach the license plate,
Simply slide the plastic wheel brackets on, attach the rack to the hitch ball without any tools, and you're ready to go!
Vehicle mounting: When you first place the BUZZRACER 4 on the tow ball it supports itself – you can let go and it won’t fall to the ground.
Then you'll pick up the weight again, turn the tightening knob until it's tight, and lock it.
BUZZRACK's carriers comply with the very rigorous XPR-18-904-4 standard and therefore include an anti-sway tensioner, which is integrated
It has a lever and usually 2 or 3 turns are enough. The video below shows the installation on the vehicle and the installation of the bikes.
Lighting system: BUZZRACER 4 comes with a 7-pin lighting system. A 7-pin to 13-pin adapter is not included but can be purchased as an option.
Tilting: Tilting is easy and very well balanced even with a full load. The BUZZRACER 4 sits quite high on the tow ball and the tilt function allows the lights to be positioned on the road surface.
It is optimized to prevent impact with the bikes, while still using the weight of the bikes to help bring the bike platform back to level in a controlled manner.
. However, this geometry does not allow long vertical tailgates to be opened – e.g. VW Transporter T5 and T6.
carrying a bike
The wheel holders accommodate most wheelbases, even small children's bikes. For really small bikes you can reverse the wheel supports. See technical data below
Long tire padded wheel straps grip tires up to 3.25 inches wide; simply pull on them to tighten and use the quick release button to loosen
The BUZZRACER 4 is suitable for all-carbon frame bikes; the rubber-padded bike frame cradles rotate 360 degrees and use rubber-padded straps to hold all types of tubes firmly but gently.
The maximum load allowed is 60 kg and no bike weighs more than 20 kg.
Down tube size is limited to 75mm diameter (3″); Whatever your bike, always load the heaviest bikes closest to the car.
There is a built-in locking cable to secure your bikes; as with cable locks, it is merely a deterrent.
Other features and basic specifications
The patented tapered hitch fits all hitch balls, sometimes even bolt-on hitch balls that do not meet neck length or ball diameter standards.
A reminder that the hitch ball is locked.
BUZZRACER 4 sits high on the towbar, well clear of speed bumps and other hazards like steep ferry ramps.
