Towbar Types

The towball is bolted onto a faceplate and is permanently attached to your vehicle. This is ideal for serious towing, compatible with accessories and usually the cheapest option.

• Tow and carry bikes at the same time
• AL-KO towballs can be fitted
• Towing couplings and accessories can be fitted

With a sleeker design, the fixed swan neck is more pleasing to the eye. It is compatible with AL-KO stabilisers, however, you cannot tow and carry bikes at the same time.

• Less likely to set off parking sensors
• Can be slightly more expensive than flange towbar
• Can’t be fitted with a bumper shield

• Removable and won’t trigger parking sensors when not towing
• Tow and carry bikes at the same time
• Towing couplings and accessories can be fitted

With the same visual appeal as the fixed swan neck, you are also able to remove this when you are not towing. But, you can’t tow and carry bikes at the same time.
