With the smallest footprint available, the DL2 Narrow Profile (NP) is 10" narrower than the DL2 rack, and is ideal for small transit vehicles and when minimal headlight and turn signal interference is required. This all steel design carries up to two bikes, and accommodates wheel sizes from 20" to 29" and up to a 44" wheel base. The DL2 NP is available in stainless or mild steel, and comes in a variety of colors/finishes.
The DL2 NP's unique No Scratch™ support arm secures the front tire without straps or cords and prevents damage to bicycles. This translates into simple and intuitive passenger use, and quick loading and unloading times to keep bus on schedule. With a minimal lifting weight of 19 lbs, the DL2 NP is lightweight, easy to use, and falls well below OSHA and NIOSH limits.

Sportworks Transit Racks - Quick, Easy and Intuitive!
Approaching from the curbside, the rider lowers the rack with one hand while supporting the bike with the other hand. This durable rack is as easy to raise as it is to lower.
After lowering the rack, the rider places the bike into one of the rack’s open wheel trays. All bike positions are completely independent of each other, making it easy to load or unload bikes with others already loaded in the rack.
To secure the bike, simply pull the unique self-storing support arm out and over the front tire. The handle should be placed as close to the front brake and head tube as possible to ensure safety and security of the bike, and in all cases the handle must be closer to the head tube than the highest point of the tire.
