New rear bracket offers space for two bicycles
Wolfsburg, 26th of June 2007 – As of today Volkswagen will be offering
a rear bracket big enough for two bicycles as an accessory for the
Fox. The retrofitted towing attachment is needed to install the bicycle
rack. This means that the smallest Volkswagen can prove its talent as
a flexible and robust travelling companion.
The aluminium-steel construction weighs 15.5 kg when empty and is
mounted on the ball head of the towing attachment. A maximum of two
bicycles, with a total weight of 35 kg and a frame work diameter of up to 80
mm, can be secured with a lockable clamping screw and safely
transported. An easily operated hinged mechanism allows access to the
boot space and its contents, including when bicycles are loaded on it.
The rear bracket comes with integrated rear lights and a holder for the
number plate and costs €390. Volkswagen offers a two year guarantee for
quality and workmanship.
