Atera Forza L Bicycle Carrier with Transport Bag

With the Forza L from Atera, a modern, compact rear bicycle carrier is presented, which has been specially developed for high flexibility and easy handling. The included transport bag also makes handling the bicycle carrier easier and serves as protection against dust, dirt and light rain.

The Forza L’s dynamic design blends harmoniously with your vehicle and offers an ideal transport 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 Forza L can be folded up compactly after use and stowed away to save space.

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.
