Buzz rack Viking ball 4

[Bob Wylie]

Folks

Just wanted to say that I recently got the tow bar fitted and took delivery of the buzz rack Viking ball 4 from Roofbox.co.uk

Bloomin marvellous piece of kit. Heavy at 15 kg but awesome grip on the tow ball. Had three adult bikes on at te weekend, and did the job brilliantly.

I took some photos (as there's not a huge amount of info online ) and a vid showing how easy it is to fit if anyone is interested

I'm also thinking about buzz rack Viking 4 ( vs Maxxraxx premier 4) would be great if can share any photos, as you say there's not much online.
From roofbox website it looks like you pull ( or push? ) a lever to attach it - is it just as simple as that ?

Good morning, sorry about the delayed response

I only have a couple of photos (i did have a heap of them but i deleted them ages ago) doh - just realised I can't post the photos on here)

pm me your email address and i'll send them to you


In answer to your question, yes, you just drop the carrier onto the tow ball - pull the lever up and that's it secured. There's a locking bar (with key) which slides through which serves as restrictor to stop anyone pushing down on the lever to remove it

The thing doesn't move!! i've had 4 bikes on it, and i've dropped it back (you can tilt it back to access the boot) with no issues.

I tend to secure the bikes a bit to the rack more than just the rubber straps over the cross bars, mainly to stop any pendulum effect
