Genuine VW 4 Bike Carrier (Ver1) - T6/T6.1 Tailgate + Struts

Genuine Volkswagen 4 Bike Rack for T6/T6.1 - Version 1 + VW Struts

This genuine VW accessory is a very practical and high-quality accessory available for the T6 Transporter. The rack is designed to fit to the tailgate of 2015 onward models in a very simple and innovative manner. The holder simply grips the edge of the tailgate in four places, making for a very sturdy fit, mounted on four rubber feet as to protect the paint.

With the ability to carry up to four adult sized bikes (max payload of 60kg), this genuine bicycle holder is the perfect accessory for when travelling with friends or family. Designed to work around you, the holder does not prohibit the opening of the tailgate, and allows the van to be used as normal when the bikes are removed from the rack.

This bike holder is made of a high quality anodised aluminium, and delivered pre-installed for a quick and easy installation.

This 'Version 1' Gen bicycle rack is not suitable for electric tailgate models, unlike 'Version 2' which is suitable for electric tailgate models.

This listing is for the 'Version 1' style of bike rack. For the 'Version 2' style please Click Here

Aftermarket Uprated 1200N Tailgate Gas Struts

These tailgate struts look and feel just like the ones fitted to your van from the factory, but with 1200N of resistance, these make light work of lifting a tailgate when fitted with a bicycle rack.
Fitting is a very straight forward procedure and no special tools are required.

Supplied as a pair, these tailgate struts will completely replace your factory fit ones. However, you may want to hold on to your originals if you ever decide to remove the bicycle rack.

We advise against using these struts when your bicycle rack is not fitted as the increased resistance of the struts means the tailgate opens with significant force. This results in the tailgate being much harder to close over the standard units.

*Will NOT fit T5 - For the T5 variant, please Click Here*

*Please Note - If your van is not a California edition, you will need to upgrade your tailgate gas struts from the standard 900N/985N gas struts to the 1200N gas struts. This will allow the now heavier tailgate to open as normal with the weight of the bicycle holder. We do, however, advise that you hold on to the factory struts and re-install them when not using the bike holder. The 1200N struts will make the tailgate difficult to shut without the bike holder installed.*
