Hi chaps,

 

looking to buy an adequate bicycle carrier (to carry 2) for a saloon NX5. Not a fan of the roof mounts so with all risks - one that fits at the trunk. From Skoda`s accessory catalogue I believe its the estate only that can take the original one and I also need to buy the towbar so getting a bit stretched budgetwise.

 

Can you recommend an aftermarket one that is of adequate quality and can fit the saloon`s back?

 

Thanks!

I don't think one exists.   The strap type ones shouldn't be fitted because the tailgate hinges and spoilers are not designed for the loads.   And even if you fitted one, would need to plug in a trailer light board because otherwise would obscure some lights or numberplate which is illegal in most (possibly all) European countries.

 

That leaves fitting to the roof rails, or to the towbar.

 

The only other option is to put back seats down and carry bike inside.
