Tow Bar Bike Racks for T6

[nodrog60]

We are due to pick up our T6 in a week and are having difficulties in choosing a Bike Rack. Does the Thule Velospace XT 2 do the job ok and does it tilt enough to open the tailgate ?

Go with the tried and tested Atera Strada DL3.
Had mine about 7 years with no issues so far.

Problem with 2 bike carriers can be that the tilt pivot point can be too close to the tailgate which means that the tailgate may clear the rack but not any bike being carried.
Atera one needs the 3 bike version for this reason.

I have an Atera Strada Evo 3, and the tailgate on a T5 clears without, with 1, 2 or 3 bikes no problem.
The same bike rack on a T6 clears the tailgate with 3 bikes, 2 bikes if they are put on the 2nd and 3rd place, 2 bikes on the 1st and 2nd place might clear with just pulling the bikes outwards, without bikes, you have to either tilt the bar, or pull the bar to the outside.
Most other bike racks just can't clear the tailgate unless you modify the bike rack. (I said most, not all)
