All Sportworks bumper-mounted bike racks require a Pivot Plate, Brackets and Bolt Kit for proper installation.
Standard Pivot Plate
The standard pivot plate measures 26” wide, and provides the mounting and pivot point for the bike rack. The pivot plate is connected to bumper brackets, and enables the bike rack to move between the stowed and deployed positions. The standard pivot plate is compatible with Sportworks DL2, DL3 (Trilogy) and VeloPorter series racks.
Ten Second Bracket
The Ten Second Bracket™ (TSB) is the result of a joint development effort between Romeo Rim bumpers and Sportworks Bike-Racks-for-Buses™. The TSB offers an integrated pivot plate and bumper bracket assembly that can be installed or removed in 10 seconds or less. Best of all, the bracket is safely secured using hand-knobs so no tools are required.
Some TSB models come with dual mounting points to accomodate both Sportworks standard width and DL2 NP racks.
Sportworks offers two primary types of Brackets that secure the Pivot Plate and Bike Rack to a vehicle bumper.
Stand-Off
The Stand-Off is the most common bracket type, and attaches through holes drilled into the front of the vehicle bumper. Stand-Off brackets are available in a variety of lengths, and do not require removal of the bumper for installation. The following information may be required to determine the proper fit for your vehicle: vehicle make and model, vehicle year, bumper manufacturer and type.
C-Bracket
The C-Bracket fits around the bumper by attaching to the frame, and alleviates the need to drill holes through the front of the vehicle bumper. C-Brackets come in a variety of sizes, and require removal of the bumper for installation. The following information may be required to determine the proper fit for your vehicle: vehicle make and model, vehicle year, bumper manufacturer and type.
Sportworks Transit Racks - Quick, Easy and Intuitive!
Lower Rack
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.
Load Bike
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.
Secure Wheel
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.
