dann_87 Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Ive currently got a 1.6 Clio (110bhp) does any one else use a simalure car for towing or carrying there trials bike? just wondering how it copes with MPG and if they still manage to pull with such weight on the a***?

jonnybmac Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I have a saxo vtr which pulls my bike alright. Dont know about MPG but really your its only going to be the difference in one/two people in the back seat in terms of effecting mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann_87 Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Do you use a rack or a bike trailer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tt5th Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 I use a 1.2L 67(ish)bhp car and it pulls it no problem. Fuel economy doesn't seem to be affected enough to notice. Trials bikes weigh nothing really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozz Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 He he, I tow a bloody great big 6x4 trailer built with a car axel behind my little 1.4 Corsa, sometimes with two bikes & three people! I always measure my fuel consumption and I thought it would plummet, but no, it was about the same, even on really hilly & twisty roads. Must be because with all that weight the choice of speed is slow or stopped. I just set off earlier and let all the riders in their vans passed.
