Atera Forza L Bicycle Carrier

With the Strada Forza L from Atera, a modern, compact rear cycle carrier is presented, which has been specially developed for high flexibility and easy handling. Its dynamic design blends harmoniously with your vehicle and offers an ideal transport solution for all bicycle types, from the lightweight road bike to the heavy e-bike, and that even for three bikes plus the option to extend it tool-free to a separately available fourth rail. 

Installation on the tow bar is uncomplicated and quick, thanks to the intuitive quick-release fastener and the comfortable self-retention function, which keeps the carrier stable even before final fixing. The practical folding mechanism allows effortless access to the boot, even on larger vehicles with big tailgates such as vans or SUVs. Approx. 60° is preset as standard; approx. 90° are possible via two hexagon nuts.

The detachable and flexibly positionable spacers adapt to different frame shapes and reliably protect even sensitive carbon frames. Thanks to the innovative folding mechanism, the Strada Forza L can be folded up compactly after use and stowed away to save space.

Details:
• Modern bicycle carrier for 3 bicycles with compact folding mechanism for easy storage and transport
• Practical two-stage folding mechanism for convenient access to the boot
• Simple installation thanks to intuitive quick-release fastener (Atera Plug & Drive)
• Ratchet system for secure fastening of the bicycle tyres
• Self-retention function on the tow bar
• Gripping arms removable and freely positionable
• Bicycle frame protection
• Carrier and support arms lockable
• Extendable to four wheel rails
• One key for all locks

Frame Protection:
The ratchet straps of the spacers (retaining arms) are reinforced at the core with a steel band. Soft rubber pads hold the bicycle frame gently and securely in position.
The ratchet tensioning system is additionally equipped with a protective function: The desired ratchet strap tension on the bicycle frame is achieved by ratcheting – if the tension force becomes too great, the ratchet strap simply jumps to the next locking point. The maximum tension is maintained and secured by the folded-down ratchet lever. Overtightening to the point of crushing is therefore not possible.
