MDC Bike Rack – A thoroughly engineered and effective bolt-on solution for adventure travellers who demand maximum convenience when travelling with bicycles. Traditionally, the iSi Bike Rack is specified by the big hitters in the off-road trailer market and now this bicycle carrier is available to all MDC owners – with the added bonus to swap the MDC bike rack between the front of the caravan and the back of the vehicle.
• True Bolt-On mounts with no drilling or welding required
• Easy home installation with simple hand tools
• Comprehensive systems include all U-Bolts and hardware
• Maintain your trailer chassis warranty
The heart of the MDC Bike Rack is the iSi Drawbar Mount System. An easy, practical and super strong mount that bolts directly onto the MDC A-Frame. This iSi Drawbar Mount System delivers a wide and long footprint in order to spread the load across the drawbar. This is specifically engineered to eliminate pressure hot spots on the drawbar chassis rails. Thus, totally eliminating the high point loads that result from narrow welded mounts.
• Staggered height design delivers the most compact bicycle carrier load
• The Four MDC Bike Rack solution suits MDC trailers with standard size drawbars
Through clever design, the iSi Bicycle Carrier staggers bicycles at varying heights to reduce the overall length of the system when compared to flat platform style racks. Typical clearance issues such as crank to crank and hub to hub are eliminated so the entire load is made very compact. This results in then most narrow platform suitable for all MDC drawbars while still maintaining excellent trailer articulation.
The iSi MDC Bike Rack pivots up and forward right at the nose of the carrier for the ultimate access to drawbar mounted equipment and fold out beds. In most cases, remain attached to the vehicle while the bikes are pivoted forward. The rotation crown has five stop positions to hold the carrier anywhere from vertical through to rotated all the way over. The rotation crown has five stop positions to hold the carrier anywhere from vertical through to rotated all the way over. Regardless of the caravan, there’s a rotated position to suit.
The iSi Bicycle Carrier comprehensively solves the age old problem of packaging bicycles on the drawbar whilst continuing to deliver excellent trailer articulation as you back into tight camp sites. Through clever design features, the iSi Bicycle Carrier delivers the most compact load possible so that the entire load is as narrow and as far back as possible. The iSi bicycle carrier is designed to allow the operator to load bicycles side by side and eliminate the need to push bikes left and right in order to have them fit together. iSi continues to deliver excellent trailer articulation on caravans and camper trailers that have incredibly short drawbars. Our experienced staff are always at the ready to advise on each particular caravan and camper trailer.
Add an optional Vehicle Mount System to swap the carrier between the trailer and the car quickly and easily. It’s great to base camp with the trailer and move the carrier to the car and explore areas that may not be appropriate to drag the trailer through.
Share the load with the trailer axle
A light static tow ball weight delta is one part of delivering excellent towing dynamics, however as soon as the trailer starts moving, dynamic loads become far more important.
One of the key iSi benefits is the carrier assembly and bicycle load is moved as far away from the tow ball as possible in order to move mass off the tow ball and back towards the axle. Moreover, as a rigid system, tight offset off the caravan or camper body can be maintained for the best result possible.
Clever design and 100% Australian steel means that iSi drawbar mounts are some of the lightest in the industry and more importantly, head and shoulders the most rigid available.
The ideal weight distrubution on the trailer for the most relaxed and safest towing experience
The position, height and rigidity of the loaded carrier can have a huge affect upon the towing dynamics as well as the handling performance of the tow vehicle. The ideal solution positions the Centre Of Mass vertically close to the trailer roll-centre and longitudinally back away from the tow ball for the lightest weight delta possible – all in a highly rigid system to keep the load in-phase with the trailer dynamics.
Ideal for modern Electronic Stability Control systems that operate to prevent loss of control in an inherently stable trailer rather than attempting to keep an unstable trailer under control with noting in reserve.
Relax and tow in safety and with confidence with predictable handling in the event of an emergency swerving manoeuvre.
