The Opel Mokka makes it easy to transport up to three cycles along for the ride to the trail with its built-in bike rack that is attached to the rear bumper.
This cross-over vehicle was geared specifically toward mountain bikers that like to drive up to a far-off course that they can cycle on, or those that like to have their two-wheeler handy in case the opportunity arises that it would be needed.
For the not-so-avid biker who does not require their cycle to be on hand at all times, the FlexFix cycle carrier can slide back into a slot in the bumper to hide it from view. The rack also tilts (even with bikes on it) when the back hatch of the vehicle is opened so that access to the truck is never restricted.
