Never put the beamish on the back only my gasgas, which around 70kgs same as the nose weight of the towbar/car so I’m only the weight of the rack overweight

 

Saw a corsa sunday with a rack fitted, they only have a 50kg nose weight!

Fitted mine to a focus, BMW 1 series, BMW e46 3 series and shortly (this weekend) to be fitted to my latest 1 series. Also had the same rack fitted to my defender when I had it. Never had a problem although the Defender was the only one where I could honestly forget about the extra weight on the back while driving along.

there is a way to work it out the caravan club have all the data in regards to bike racks being fitted and how much you deduct for the caravan towing weight/ nose weight. I think off top of my head approx. 7% which is part of the towing code . and must not exceed maxiumum vertical towing load and be aware the vehicle may have lower towing capacities than the towbar its self
