Psimpson, that leads me to another part of the design brief of this modular bicycle carrier family . 4WD and passenger vehicles aren’t all the one size and neither are bicycles for that matter – so in order to deliver the best possible fit, the iSi brand of carriers isn’t just another wannabe one size fits all compromise. Like I said earlier, we don’t muck around. Because of the modular design of our carriers, we can mix and match components to suit just about every application on the out there. We'll make the selection of the appropriate components for customers but to give you an idea of the iSi modular solutions, the following may assist. It's a simple selection the vehicle attachment(s) for all the vehicles and trailers you may care to use the bicycle carrier on from this list:
Then the relevant main beam(s) from so that you can configure for two bicycles, four or convert between the two carriers from this this list:
And finally populate the carrier with the relevant wheel and frame support components. It allows iSi to address pretty much all applications.
From compact high clearance applications like this Subaru Forester who had recently purchased another brand carrier on advice from “a mate” and then came to us for the ideal solution:
”What a clever idea with two off centre supports! The [another brand aussie rack] single post never held my 575 Yeti steep top tube properly and now nothing hangs over the sides! Rock steady and really quick and easy to get into the back of the car too! Thank you so much!!!”
Or this 4x4x2 carrier on a Grand Cherokee in Banff Canada populated by road bikes.
” I absolutely loved it. My girlfriend and I used it to take our Devinci road bikes for a ride between Lake Louise and Banff, joining the Paramedic Ride that was raising money for the national paramedic memorial & scholarship fund. The bikes were rock solid as we drove. She is a pro racer (road and mountain bikes) and she was blown away by the quality of your product. The carrier gets noticed and people love it.
Thanks for your continued assistance. I love your product!”
to traditional 4x4 applications like this Patrol (4x4x2-500/40):
”I was very impressed with how solid it all feels. Have taken the bikes out a few times on the smaller of the frames and am loving how sturdy they are held down when traversing some of the rougher terrain. I really appreciated his assistance and enthusiasm. Can't wait to take some of my brothers out and try the longer 4x bike frame fully loaded.”
to really long offsets like this Land Cruiser:
By eliminating a long tow bar extension straight out of the tow bar, the
iSi modular solution delivers the best departure clearance possible.
And of course, pivots down from the tow bar to deliver maximum clearance for drawers. I can’t begin to imagine the heartache of months on the road and having to pull the bikes and carrier off every time you needed to access the rear drawers.
And with any of those carriers, convert to a 4-bike carrier in a minute - like this customer from the USA where we are now exporting a good part of our total production (who would have guessed that an Aussie bike rack would be taking the rest of the world on – and nailing it….).
”Absolutely love the rack. I love how secure it keeps the bikes. Thank you for the great customer service and building such a quality bike rack. I'm really glad we went with the compact, it really looks great. I love the rack!”
Actually, while we’re rolling along here, the new 4x4x2 off road carrier joins the 4x4x4 off-road carrier as the only Australian bicycle carrier family that is designed and manufactured for sustained operation on the back of a single axle off-road trailer - and continue to support, stabilise and protect the most delicate of carbon fibre bicycles over the harshest off-road terrain on the planet. Back of a car is a breeze in this company.
"I have your extreme bike carrier and love it. We regularly recommend yours as the only one to consider.
I have pawed over your web adventures for some time and was inspired enough to bite the bullet."
"you cannot beat this for function. Drops to the ground at the pull of a pin, and a lock for when lifting it up prior to inserting the securing pin. Solid as a rock. Looks great, and the function A grade. Totally recommend this mod, it will cost a bit more, but it will go anywhere."
Or if the drawbar on a trailer is your thing, then there’s no need to add hassle. How easy is this to access the front storage bin!
Bonus again with that modular solution is swap the carrier over to the car in under a minute – and no tools. It’s so easy.
So, with a handful of different components in a modular bicycle carrier family, deliver the best solution so that there are never any excuses to leave the bikes at home. Best of all, start with two bikes and grow as you need to.
