Bike Carrier For Tailgate BMW 5 Series Touring (E61) 2003-2010 Wagon Yakima HalfBack 2

– For 2 bikes

The Yakima HalfBack 2 is a premium bike carrier for mounting on the tailgate of your BMW 5 Series Touring (E61). Its robust steel frame can hold 2 bikes with a maximum weight of 15.9 kg per bike. The total maximum bike weight is 31.8 kg. The HalfBack has a unique hub system, around which the upper support frame and bike carrier arms can rotate. With the dials it is very easy to bring all parts into their correct position and lock them. Rubber pads at the supporting points prevent scratches on the car. The bike carrier is fixated to the edges of the tailgate with multiple tightening straps. When not in use, the HalfBack can be folded flat for easy storage. The HalfBack is also available for 3 bikes.

The Yakima FullBack and HalfBack are very similar, but the FullBack includes a few extra anti-theft features that you don’t get with the HalfBack:

– Yakima Trunk Mount Security strap, to secure the bike carrier to the car.
– Integrated locking cable, to secure the bikes to the bike carrier.

Since the bikes are transported hanging, they should have a more or less horizontal top tube. For bikes without top tube or with a sloping top tube, the Yakima TubeTop bike frame adapter can be ordered as an accessory.
