Raleigh PERUZZO VENEZIA 4 BIKE CARRIER,Silver

This is a great item. It's the genuine Peruzzo Venezia product in the more expensive aluminium but with the bonus of having 4 bike carriers. As has been mentioned by others this really only represents a potential to carry 4 bikes since the maximum load remains at 45 Kg (which itself is the typical weight of 3 mountain bikes). If this concerns anyone then it's possible to remove the 4th carrier fairly easily should you wish.On the Giullietta there's no need to use the optional adaptor (supplied) for the side mounts since it's easy to clamp on the metal part of the hatch. Take care though not to place the main loading bar on top of the spoiler (which is plastic) but instead on the flat forward lip of the hatch in front of the spoiler (metal). Locking the frame into position 'I' should make this clear.

Once you figure out how to put it on the car its a easy enough job. I would say it takes 2 to put it on the car. Once you figure out how tonout the bikes on, I would advise to take a picture so you know how to put them on again. Does not take kids bikes as they are missing a bar across but you can buy an attachment. it does not fit 4 bikes, but 3 as on the box it stated it fits 3 bikes and a sticker was placed on the box stating it fits 4, not true.Its seems sturdy enough with bikes on and am overall happy with the purchase.

I liked the fact that it supports 4 bikes.However, the instructions are not clear enough and increases the time for installation and risk that you might not install the rack properly.

Brilliant bike rack, simple to install and very sturdy. The bikes angle upwards so the number plate is not obscured whilst visibility is still maintained for the rear view mirror. Very happy with this purchase, brilliant value for money compared to others on the market

The first thing you will read in the instructions is 'check the sales outlet for compatibility list to see if your care needs adaptor part 'I', if it is not included purchase from vendor'.One you establish that any combination of anchorage is going to shred your paintwork around the roof spoiler, you are then diverted on to other diagrams also drawn by an Italian child.I wonder had I been privy to this phantom list, whether it would have warned about being completely useless for anything with a tiny spoiler?Then again I don't care, it's gone in the bin - serves me right for looking for a cheap workaround to a proper job (tow-bar option)

The carrier is well made and study enough. When fitted to the car it seemed good and solid. The toothed joints fit snuggly and tightly but do need to be tightened up which wasn't explained well as the instructions are awful, with tiny illustrations that are very unclear. Take some time to work out the best position to mount it on your car as it is quite flexible.After a lot of trail and error, alternating bikes and fitting some with the cross bar in the holders and some with down tube or seat tube in the holders I eventually managed to get them all on the holder. Note that the arms of the bike holder are too wide to fit the cross bar of a small or even medium sizes childs bike so you'll need to experiment (child ages 11, 9, 8 & 8).The rubber straps and single retaining strap are no way safe enough so I also secured the bikes with a further 2 bungie cords.But after spending 2 hours putting all 4 childrens bikes that I just decided if was just not good enough, the holder was secure on the car but the bikes are so cramped up they just didn't feel safe not only that they are all rubbing against each other - after a long car journey there would be many areas of scraped paint on the bikes. Even taking pedals off and turning handlebars round didn't help much.I'll keep the carrier as it is well made - but I'll just be sticking 2 bikes on it.

I bought this rack for my son who was looking to buy a rack to hold 4 family bikes, 2 Adults 2 kids.He was having trouble finding one suitable but after receiving this one he is very pleased with it. He is pleased with the quality and feels it was a good price. He owns aC Max car and it fits perfectly as I am sure it would on most cars. I was also very impressed with the speed of deliveryFrom this company it arrived within 2days.

Well made and sturdy product, it can however be a bit of a jigsaw getting 4 cycles of different types on but once you do find an order that works it's best to take a photo to help you the next time you put them on.Its probably a big ask to put 4 cycles on the back of your car anyway and this item is a good value product that works wellWould definitely recommend
