Tow Bar Motorcycle Carriers Australia

Platform carriers support both wheels on a ramp — ideal for cruisers and adventure bikes. Wheel chock carriers grip the front wheel only — lighter, cheaper, best for sport and naked bikes.

Most quality carriers rate 200–300kg. A KTM 1290 Super Adventure weighs around 250kg dry — close to the limit on lower-rated carriers. Always include the bike's wet weight and any luggage.

Carriers must be rated for the bike's weight. Number plate and tail lights must remain visible — fit an auxiliary plate and light bar if not. Overhang must be flagged during the day and lit at night.

Baxley: US-made, premium platform carriers ($1,800–$2,500). Kendon: folding carriers, popular for adventure riders ($1,500–$2,200). Condor: wheel chock carriers ($800–$1,400). All three are well represented in the Australian market.

Class 3 minimum, Class 4 preferred. Confirm your towbar's towball download rating — a 250kg bike on a 25kg carrier exceeds many Class 2 towbars. Find a local installer to confirm or upgrade your towbar.
