The
Bird Automotive Bicycle Rack enables drivers short and tall to
load and unload bicycles very quickly. Bikes and cargo don't touch
the car. Car trunks, boots and hatches open without Rack interference.
The Golf Bag Carrier accommodates one or two bags with or without
their travel cases. It also serves as a Luggage Rack for
one or two suitcases. Ski Rack and Snowboard Rack options
are available. Bike Racks carry one, two, or up to three
bikes.
The two
under-bumper receiver Pipes which support all Racks are either visually attractive
or inconspicuous additions to
the car. Racks store easily in the trunk or cargo area.
Invented and patented by us,
Bird Automotive Racks are currently available for the BMW Z4, Infiniti G35
and G37, Nissan 350Z, Porsche Boxster
and Cayman, Audi A4, S4, RS4, A5, S5 and Audi TT, VW New Beetle, Toyota Prius, Honda Insight Hybrid, Honda Civic Hybrid, and Honda S2000.
Other new models are currently under development so please call
or click here if
your car is not
listed in the table on the right.
All of our Bicycle, Golf, Ski, Snowboard
and Luggage Rack Systems are:
 |
Designed to blend into the
car attractively and aerodynamically. They eliminate unattractive,
inconvenient, noisy roof racks, trailer hitches, and trunk contraptions.
The Bird System looks cool, on or off the car. |
|
|
|
 |
Useable by adults and
youths, short and tall. Bikes and cargo are lifted less than two
feet off the ground. They load and unload in less than five
minutes and Racks store easily in the trunk. |
|
 |
Strong and secure.
Galvanized steel, stainless steel and aluminum components are used
throughout, designed to substantially exceed rated loads. All cargo can
be locked to the steel rack which itself locks to the car. |
|
 |
Built to the highest
standards. Digitally controlled tools and conscientious old-world
craftsmen assure consistent quality. Our design objective is for each
System to last as long as the car. |
|
 |
Installable by owners who
have at least average mechanical ability in one to two hours. The
steel or aluminum support structure for the Rack, the Receiver Pipes,
use existing holes and fittings provided by the car maker. Some models
are bolt-ons and some require drilling one or two small, pencil
sized, virtually
invisible holes in the bottom of the spare tire well. Welding is
NEVER required. If not installing yourself, independent repair
shops and body shops are fully qualified, and we can assist in locating
a qualified installer. |
