Tow Bar Bike Rack.

Help required wise Jimners,

Which tow ball mounted bike racks ( obvs only need a two bike one ) are you all using?
I have noticed that Suzuki are selling one for the Gen 4…..

Thanks wise ones.

I have a Thule 3 bike which works well on the various vehicles I have owned.

It works on the Jimny, BUT I need to remove the spare as its just not quite got enough clearance to miss the door mounted spare. This is with a Witter swan neck bar and standard sized spare, it's also a G3. It folds flat to allow you access to the vehicle with the unit attached, but this is a useless idea when the bikes are fitted as it too heavy / awkward to use. So assume you won't be able to get the rear door open when fitted.

So my take away is check any suggestions are 100% the same configuration as your vehicle or check before you purchase. I would assumed the Suzuki offering is designed to avoid such problems, but will be designed for a Suzuki tow bar and std sized spare.
 

Also remember to be mindful of the additional width if carrying adult bikes as a Jimny is quite narrow.

This is good advice.

I have a Buzzrack Scorpion  buzzrack.com/galleries/e-scorpion-1/ but a 29” mountain bike protrudes massively either side of a Jimny.  Too much to be safe in my part of the world.  As a result i never use it.

The Frontrunner roof-bar solution works: www.frontrunneroutfitters.com/en/uk/pro-...arrier-power-ed.html
However, not a great solution for those without height and strength.

Anyone tried “The Rack” from Scorpion Racks? Expensive but may have appeal.

I fancy the “Rack” Rumble but not sure they are still at it?
Like you say most MTB’s are wider than a Jim.

Not really interested in putting the bike on the roof but seems one of the only solutions.
