Subaru Forester

This Subaru Forester bike rack keeps things tucked in tight: an Extreme Duty 4x4x2 two bike carrier manufactured by iSi, held close behind the wagon on a tow bar mount system. Three words from its owner sum up the design brief: super strong, well tucked up.

The Forester is a popular trailhead car for a reason, and the carrier is designed not to change what makes it good. Both bikes ride low over the tow bar in their own cradles, inside the car’s width, with the rear camera and sensors unaffected. The carrier pivots up with the bikes loaded so the tailgate opens fully, and lifts off the mount when the weekend ends. The rest of the lineup is covered on our vehicle bike racks page.

Capacity and fit

Each cradle carries up to 32kg with room for a 1600mm wheelbase and tyres to 5.1 inches, from gravel bikes to trail bikes. The Two Bike Rack Assembly, with a 64kg total capacity.

iSi has manufactured every carrier in Mitcham, Victoria since 2007, in Australian mild steel and stainless steel with a zinc primed, textured Dulux powder coat finish, backed by a lifetime warranty. Foresters and their kind are well represented among the pre-configured vehicle carriers, and the sales team can configure this exact system for yours.
