The Australis Expedition three bike rack is a great example of what can be achieved when working within tight drawbar space without compromising strength or usability.

For this installation, we delivered a three bike rack for the Australis Expedition using a 100% bolt-on design. With limited room available on the drawbar, careful planning was required to ensure everything fit correctly while maintaining full functionality of the van.

The Australis Expedition three bike rack was positioned to retain full access to the jockey wheel, allowing normal operation when hitching and unhitching. At the same time, the carrier sits as close to the body of the van as possible, which helps manage ball weight and improves overall towing stability.

Keeping the load tight to the van also reduces leverage on the drawbar and creates a more stable platform for carrying bikes across a variety of conditions, from sealed roads to rough tracks.

This Australis Expedition three bike rack provides a secure way to carry three bikes while maintaining a clean and practical layout. The bolt-on approach ensures the installation integrates neatly with the van’s existing structure, with no unnecessary modifications required.

For owners of the Australis Expedition looking for a space-efficient solution, this three bike rack delivers the strength, positioning and usability needed for reliable touring.
