Hi,

Can you fit a mountain bike inside an Octavia hatch without removing a wheel? 

Simon

Tried with 27,5" and had no luck. had to remove a wheel.

Thanks

 

i have a 27.7+ and mine fits without removing any wheels have the turn the front one slightly and obviously drop the back seats 

Actually it was 29".

Thank you. Mine is a 29er as well. Very useful info. Thanks for going out of your way with the photo.

Actually, I notice you have an IV. So you know where a non IV version gains the extra 150L boot space?

Do not so!

That picture is from E-Tec taken few weeks back. That was a test if we need a towing hook or not. Got one bike in and agreed that we need it  Too much hassle to fit 29er and 27.5".

 

iV liftback has about 10cm higher floor.

iV comes with a raised floor, same as flat boot floor option on a normal car and it also has no space for a spare wheel. Manufacturers count boot space even below the covering so iV loses quite a bit.

There is no "flat floor" option in octavia. There no place to rise or lower the floor cover.

I actually quite like how the iV boot is made. It has about 5cm loading lip and the best thing ever is, that you have enough space for cables under the floor. Luckily there is even space for Canton woofer on the upper corner.

Mk7 and mk7.5 golf hybrids for example did not have an option for better audi since its tied to spare wheel.

Yes there is. But it's combi only and it might not available in the UK. https://www.skoda-storyboard.com/en/press-kits/skoda-octavia-press-kit-2/simply-clever-new-features-for-skodas-bestseller/

 

 

And of course the iV has a flat floor already, because there is no room.

Ah, i dont know/care about combi, since i'm getting an LB. Even the Golf was a HB with changeable floor height.

 

iV has flat floor since the fuel tank is so high
