The towball nose weight is the number that decides how many bikes fit · review
The entry towbar rack here: two bikes, a tilting mechanism for boot access, and frame holders taking tubes up to 8.5 cm (3.3 in) — wider than most racks accept.
Our conclusion The budget entry, and the frame holder range is genuinely useful. Establish your towball nose weight before buying any rack, including this one.
Bullwing’s SR2 is the cheapest way onto a towball here, and it is honest about what it is.
Mounting for two bikes on the towball. A tilting mechanism for boot access. A quick-release fastening, a lockable anti-theft arrangement with a padlock, and two frame holders with straps taking frames up to 8.5 cm (3.3 in) — described as not lockable. Suitability stated for vehicles with a normal tailgate, and explicitly not for buses or vans.
This is the specification worth noticing. Modern aluminum and carbon frames use oversized tubing, and a rack whose holders stop at 6 cm (2.4 in) can simply refuse to clamp them. Bullwing’s 8.5 cm (3.3 in) covers a wider range than most racks in this hub.
No payload. That is not an omission we can fill: the limit on any towbar rack is the nose weight your own towball is rated for, printed on the towbar plate and in the vehicle handbook, minus the rack’s own weight. Those are numbers for your vehicle, not for this product, and a comparison page cannot settle them.
Every towbar rack needs its lighting board connected and checked — indicators, brake lights, fog light — and a duplicate number plate where the law requires one. Those requirements are national and change; read them from the authority that publishes them for every country on your route.

Bullwing states it suits vehicles with a normal tailgate and explicitly not buses or vans. The binding limit is your towball nose weight, printed on the towbar plate and in the vehicle handbook — check both before loading.
The supplied frame holders take tubes up to 8.5 cm (3.3 in), which is more generous than most racks in this hub and covers oversized modern frames.
