Superior Load Capacity and Everyday Practicality
The Farad Susa 2 bike carrier is purpose-built to meet the evolving demands of modern cyclists. Accommodating up to two bicycles with a combined weight capacity of 60 kg, this platform effortlessly supports heavier electric bikes, traditional city cruisers, and high-performance road frames alike. Rather than compromising on weight limits or stability, the carrier provides a rock-solid foundation that keeps your bikes firmly anchored throughout highway cruising and winding country lanes.
Weighing just 17 kg, the unit strikes an optimal balance between structural rigidity and manageable handling. Mounting a heavy bike rack can often prove strenuous, but the lightweight design of the Farad Susa 2 allows a single person to lift, position, and secure the carrier onto the towbar without unnecessary strain. Its premium craftsmanship ensures that frequent mounting and dismounting does not diminish structural strength, offering long-term reliability for all your weekend getaways and cycling holidays.
Seamless Tesla Compatibility Across the Range
Achieving a harmonious fit with electric vehicles requires precision engineering, particularly in managing aerodynamics and rear clearance. The Farad Susa 2 is universally suited for all Tesla models equipped with a standard towbar. Whether you pilot a Tesla Model Y packed for an extended family adventure, or commute with a Tesla Model 3, this carrier integrates smoothly behind your vehicle. It is equally compatible with Model S and Model X configurations fitted with a towbar receiver, as well as towbars on vehicles from other manufacturers.
Because it mounts directly to the towbar hitch, the carrier avoids contact with the vehicle bodywork, preserving your exterior paint and aerodynamic lines. Furthermore, the Farad Susa 2 is engineered to accommodate the Farad Maky towbar cargo box, allowing you to convert your bicycle rack into an enclosed luggage carrier whenever additional boot space takes precedence over transporting two-wheeled gear.
Ergonomic Tilt Function and Compact Folding Design
A common frustration with rear-mounted transport systems is the obstruction of the vehicle boot. The Farad Susa 2 resolves this issue with an integrated, user-friendly tilting mechanism. Even when loaded with two bicycles or e-bikes, the platform can be smoothly tilted away from the vehicle body. This grants uninhibited access to your Tesla tailgate, ensuring you can open the boot, grab charging cables, retrieve travel bags, or let pets out without having to dismantle the bikes or detach the rack.
When your journey concludes and the rack is detached, its fully foldable architecture proves its worth. The arms and frame fold inward into an exceptionally compact profile, minimising the footprint required for storage. It stows neatly inside your garage, garden shed, or even directly within your sub-trunk compartment, keeping your space organised and clutter-free until your next excursion.
Simple Towbar Mounting and Road Safety
Securing equipment to your vehicle should inspire utter confidence. The Farad Susa 2 features a straightforward towbar attachment mechanism that fastens directly to the towball with minimal effort. The intuitive locking and clamping assembly creates a tight, wobble-free connection that dampens road vibrations and resists lateral movement, perfectly complementing our broader selection of premium exterior accessories.
Safety credentials are at the forefront of this design. The carrier is fully TÜV-tested and certified, demonstrating that it has undergone rigorous testing standards for dynamic stability, load retention, and emergency braking situations. By choosing an independently certified transport solution, you protect not only your bicycles and your Tesla, but also fellow road users, ensuring quiet, composed peace of mind on every trip.
Routine Maintenance and Long-Term Care
To preserve the pristine finish and mechanical performance of your Farad Susa 2, minimal but consistent upkeep is recommended. After journeys through wet, dusty, or salted road conditions, rinse the carrier with clean water and a mild car shampoo to eliminate corrosive road grime. Avoid abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical degreasers that could degrade the protective surface coatings or moving joints.
Periodically check the pivot points and the towbar clamping interface, ensuring they remain clean and free from trapped grit. Storing the carrier folded in a dry, covered environment when not in use shields the mechanism from prolonged exposure to harsh weather. Following these simple care steps ensures that the tilt mechanism and locking clamps continue to articulate effortlessly for years to come.
