Does anyone know which bike rack fits on the back of my 2017 swift ace globetrotter (challenger)? I think it’s a Thule Elite G2 standard but wanted to make sure. The swift website doesn’t tell you sadly.

Thanks

Chris

    I know Swift have long reinforced the rear of their vans so a bike rack can be attached but don't know which one. Fiamma do one called the Carry Bike Pro. To be certain perhaps two options, either e-mail Swift Customer Service or pose the question of Swift Talk their online community.

    Hi Chris,

    We have a Swift MH which came with Thule fittings and we were advised, in the handbook, to fit the G2 Short.    But if I was you, I would speak to your/a Swift dealer, to be sure.    But, I am about to have a tow bar fitted and use my Volvo tow bar rack.    Lower down and more convenient as we have heavy e-bikes.

    Thanks for your responses, sorry for the delay in replying.

    I spoke to my local dealer and they were unsure! The mind boggles.

    After doing a bit of research I bought and fitted the Thule Elite G2 standard. It fits great and my caravan stability hasn’t been effected.

    Cheers

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm looking at buying an A Frame bike rack and was wandering if anyone has nay experience with them. I will be fitting onto a Buccaneer Commodore so the A frame is shorter that the continental models. 

    Before anyone advises me on tow ball limits and nose weights I'm aware of all of that and I think I'll be OK. What I'm really interested in how it will effect turning in and out of gateways etc.

    Thanks

    Pete
