Hi everyone
I recently bought a T6 VW California Beach and it came with a Thule 4-bike rack. Our reason for selling is purely that we are two ladies in our 60s and we have electric bikes which are heavy to lift high enough. So we have bought a bike rack that fits on the tow bar. They are about £530 new, apparently - I'm asking for £300 (discounted for this forum only, I'm going to advertise on Gumtree but for £350). It is like new, I doubt the previous owner used it - Our Cali is a late 2015, so it is nearly 3 years old. We actually live in Poole but are only 1.5 miles from Bournemouth town centre, BH12 is the start of our postcode.
This is the spec:
Volkswagen Genuine 4 bike rack made of anodized aluminum. (Note: The California range already has uprated tailgate gas struts, however it is recommended that all other vehicles are fitted with uprated gas struts).
Can be easily mounted on the vehicle and affixed to the tailgate using allen keys. The tailgate can be opened with bike carrier mounted but only without bikes fitted.
The carrier has a maximum load rating of 60 kg.
Sliding wheel clamps allow for different sized bikes and adjustable fixing arms attach up to 4 bikes.
Fits:
T6 Multivan
T6 California, Ocean and Beach
T6 Caravelle
T6 Transporter
Net weight [kg]: CA. 15
For the transport of 4 bikes
Depth/ mm: 55
Tensioned frame profile [mm]: Ø 80
Not for Vehicles with decorative foil on the rear
Not for: high roof
Not for vehicles with electrically operated tailgates. Please use the T5 style Bike rack for the T6 instead
Only fits elevating tailgate, not barn doors
Does not fit tailgates with fitted roof edge spoiler
