I want to put my mtb on the back of a 5008 but can’t seem to find a rack that fits. I want a saris bones 2 but not sure it’s compatible according to their website. Any advice?
What 5008? There’s the old style MPV and newer SUV style. Friends have the newer style, and I know their bikes go on the back. If you have type that I can find out what they use
It’s the new 5008. It would be great if you could let me know. Thanks!
I can’t offer any specific advice regarding your car but I did have a Bones 2 for a while and whilst a solid enough rack it was a reet pain in the arse for anything other than a large framed hardtail.. Full sussers were really difficult to mount.
Also, with this type of rack you should have a light board as it will likely obscure at least some of the rear lights and plate unless you’re lucky and can mount it very high up. At which point I’d be looking at a roof mount option - are you able to get a roof rack and put them up top? Getting them on the roof is a good balance of being secure and not costing the earth.
Go to roofbox.co.uk, they'll tell you.
@nuck19- heard back- they use a towbar mounted rack.
