Product news: Anyone who regularly cycles knows the problem: Transporting bikes quickly, safely, and comfortably – even with e-bikes or heavy trekking bikes. With the Atera Strada Forza M, the German manufacturer Atera is launching a rear carrier designed precisely for this purpose: maximum load capacity, sophisticated operation, and a robust construction meet with high flexibility.
Atera Forza M bike rack – High-quality workmanship, built for modern mobility
The Forza M makes a professional impression right out of the box: The materials appear durable, the workmanship is solid, and with a weight of 18,2 kg, the carrier remains comparatively light without sacrificing stability. It mounts to the trailer hitch – completely tool-free, thanks to a practical quick-release lever. Removal is also quick and easy, making everyday life easier.
The carrier is designed for two bikes, but can be expanded to three with a separately available extension module. A particularly interesting feature is the maximum load capacity of 60 kg (or 65 kg with the extension). This makes the Forza M ideal for heavy e-bikes or mountain bikes—a real strength in a market where many carriers limit their load at around 50 kg.
Easy handling and secure hold
One of the highlights is the sophisticated folding system: The carrier can be tilted backward in two stages, ensuring access to the trunk even in vans or vehicles with high tailgates – even when bicycles are mounted. This provides noticeably more comfort in everyday use.
The bikes are secured with removable gripping arms that can be freely positioned – ideal for different frame shapes and sizes. Thanks to the integrated anti-lock system, the holders grip with exceptional control and prevent excessive pressure – even on delicate carbon frames. The tires sit securely in wide wheel rails with sturdy ratchet straps that reliably accommodate even plus-size tires.
Foldable, lockable and space-saving storage
Another advantage: The Atera Forza M bike rack folds compactly and can be conveniently stored when not in use – whether in the garage, basement, or trunk. The integrated carrying handles and intelligent cable routing are also practical.
Both the carrier itself and the individual gripping arms feature an integrated lock, protecting both the carrier and the bikes against theft. This provides peace of mind – especially during breaks on longer journeys.
The Atera Strada Forza M is aimed at demanding users who regularly travel with high-quality or heavy bicycles. Families, e-bike riders, and outdoor enthusiasts benefit from its load-bearing capacity, modular expandability, and easy handling. At the same time, the carrier scores points with its compact design and clever folding mechanism – without neglecting safety aspects.
