Porsche Cayman  Bike Rack® with Golf Bag Carrier, Ski Rack, Snowboard Rack, and Luggage Rack Options.          2006+

The Bird Automotive Porsche Cayman and Cayman S Bike Rack is shown installed in the Receiver Pipes of the Cayman S in the picture on the right.  The two Pipes serve as receivers for all versions of the Rack in a manner similar to trailer hitch racks seen on SUV's.  They are 1" diameter, painted black and are intentionally inconspicuous.  Nearly invisible in the picture below, they are located to the left and right of the factory tailpipes, recessed behind the Bumper and tailpipes. The Cayman Bicycle Rack carries one or two bikes. Golf Bag Carrier, Luggage Rack, Ski Rack and Snowboard Rack Options are available. When not in use, the Rack is easily removed in a couple of minutes and can be stored in the front trunk. 
   

       Cayman Bike Rack inserted into  Receiver Pipes.

 

Receiver Pipes are shown at left installed cleanly under and behind the exhaust pipes.

Installation requires less than an hour, no lift, no cutting, no drilling.

Arms are height adjustable to level bikes. 

Arms fold in flat and are individually removable.

Rack easily removed in a couple of minutes

 

 

 

 

 

    Straps from inside the Trunk attach to the Rack.  Paint is protected.

The Cayman hatch opens without   touching the Rack

  Rack stores easily in the front trunk

 

 

        Installation of the Receiver Pipes requires removal and reinstallation of four bolts under the Cayman located to the rear of the engine.  Accomplished  in under an hour by anyone of average mechanical ability, installation requires no special tools or modifications to the car.  Thorough illustrated instructions are provided; about half our customers install themselves.

           Locking Accessory
As one customers told us, "my bike's worth more than my car so this lock better work!"  An exaggeration perhaps, but we understand.  The Lock Kit consists of two long-shanked padlocks (same keys) and a heavy duty vinyl coated straight steel cable.  The first lock goes through a hole in both the right side Receiver Pipe and the right Leg of the Rack, locking the Rack to the car.  The cable goes through the bikes' frames and one or both wheels of each bike.  The cable padlocks to both ends of the cable and a hole through the right Leg.  The picture on the Bike Racks home page shows the locks and cable
           Golf Bag Carrier and Luggage Rack
The Golf Bag Carrier - Luggage Rack attaches to the same Legs as the Bike Rack shown above and uses the Receiver Pipes for support.  A 12" x 24" Platform carries  two pieces of luggage, two golf bags, or one of each  The Carrier has been tested at speed to safely support 100 pounds. The trunk will continue to open without touching the Carrier/Rack and it can be stored in the front trunk. Click here for further Carrier details.
         Ski Racks and Snowboard Racks - the SnowRack
The SnowRack for carrying skis and snowboards is a stainless steel carrier attached to one or both of the Legs of the Rack to hold the tails of the skis or boards. A SnowRack Arm which telescopes into a Leg holds the upper part of the skis or boards with secure clamps. One SnowRack will carry 2-3 pairs of skis or one snowboard. A Second Snowboard Option is available. Two SnowRacks can be carried.  The trunk will continue to open without touching the Rack.  Click here for further SnowRack details.

         A Customer Writes to Say Thanks
"Dear Bird Automotive, I just had to drop you a note to thank you for my Bicycle Rack. I really appreciated the rush order. As promised it was easy to install, and really easy to use. We went on a week long trip and took our 2 mountain bikes, it worked great, didn't use any trunk space and the bikes were safe & secure ( we didn't even have to remove the front tires). On top of all that it looks really cool!!! I couldn't be happier with it. I get envious stares and questions from fellow ..import..owners.. when it's on the car, of course I tell them who to call. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions , my spouse was so impressed with my choice. This way we don't have to hoist our bikes onto the roof after a long ride, and with the bikes attached you don't even know it's there. It's really great! Thank You!! Sincerely," a San Francisco Bay area customer.  Thank you dear customer!
