Can you use it on a small car like a VW polo?
Can you use it on a small car like a VW polo?
Regarding the VW Polo, there should be no issue using the Explorer. Most Polos have a dynamic roof load limit of 60kg (though I recommend double-checking the manual or Google for your specific model year). If your roof rack has a load limit of 60kg or greater, your total capacity will be 60kg. See here for more details on roof load limits.
It is essential to stay below these limits for safety. For reference, the bike is stripped down with the Explorer attached.:
- Load4 75: Approx. 40kg
- Bullitt: Approx. 33kg.
