Description
Make your Velovault2 bike box roof bar ready.
By adding this option to your Velovault2 order, you will ensure that your box is equipped to attach to the majority of roof bars with T-track slots. The integrated aluminum rods and sliders will be bolted to your bike box which in turn will fix to our unique aluminum roof bar brackets. The brackets include quick release skewers, secured by a pin to prevent movement in transit.
Make sure you add this option to your cart to ensure your Velovault2 bike box is able to attach to your roof bars, we will attach the T-bars for you to save you time. The system can be retro fitted but it will require the user to do some drilling and fix the T-bars to your box using the nuts and bolts provided.
Safety:
The system has undergone rigorous testing at the Millbrook testing facility in the UK to ensure its performance and safety.
Testing:
The system was tested to the below specification with index markings applied to bike box fitting system, to illustrate any movement. We also fitted 2x GoPro cameras to the vehicle, one forward facing and one rearward facing, in order to film any movements of the bike box during test.
- High Speed Circuit, at motorway speeds.
- Mile Straight, incorporating full rate acceleration and braking to/from 60 mph.
- Outer handling circuit with moderate cornering loads.
- Hill Route, with moderate cornering loads.
- Random Waves, both in and out of phase.
- Belgian Pavé.
Conclusions:
‘The vehicle was driven over each of the surfaces multiple times, totaling 4 hours of driving. After each individual test run, the index markings were visually checked. No movement occurred throughout the test period.’
