Key features
Fitting to the car: When you first place the bike rack on the tow ball it supports itself – you can let go of it and it won’t fall to the ground. You’ll then take the weight again, spin the knob until it’s tight, and lock it.
Holding the bike: Simply position the bike on the wheel supports. Adjust the clamp position by sliding it around the vertical tubular frame to find the perfect fit with the bike frame. Clamp the frame, attach the wheels using the ratchet straps, lock the clamps.
Tilting: Tilting is easy, and is very well balanced even with a full load. The HORNET 2 sits quite high on the tow ball, and the tilt function is optimised to prevent the lights from hitting the road surface, while still using the weight of the bikes to help bring the bike platform back to the level again in a controlled way.
