Product Information
Full details
The Elite Sanremo Bike Carrier is an ideal choice for road cyclists and mountain bikers who prioritize security and frame protection during transport. It offers a highly stable, fork-mount roof rack solution that is particularly gentle on carbon forks, making it perfect for premium bicycles. While it provides excellent security via a double lock system, users should note that the base configuration is optimized for quick-release skewers, requiring an additional adapter purchase for bikes utilizing thru-axles.

What is the maximum width of the roof bars?
The carrier is compatible with most standard car roof bars measuring up to 80 x 50 mm.
Does it lock the bike to the car?
Yes, it includes a double safety lock system that secures both the bicycle to the carrier and the carrier to the roof rack.
Can I fit a mountain bike with disc brakes?
Yes, the carrier is compatible with most mountain bikes, including those equipped with disc brakes.
How much adjustment is available for the wheelbase?
The carrier allows for a significant range of adjustment up to 610 mm between the front and rear wheel mounts.
Troubleshooting
The bike feels unstable on the roof
Check that the rear wheel strap is tight and the fork clamp tension is correctly set.
The clamp does not fit my thru-axle bike
The Sanremo is designed for quick-release by default; you must purchase the optional thru-axle adapter.
Lock is difficult to turn
Clean out any road grit from the lock cylinder with a compressed air spray and apply a graphite or silicone-based lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation involves securing the main fork block to your roof crossbars using the provided hardware. Ensure the crossbars do not exceed 80 x 50 mm to guarantee a proper fit. Once the fork block is fixed, position the rear wheel tray to match your bike's wheelbase and tighten the sliding mechanism securely. To maintain the carrier, regularly inspect the locking mechanism for debris, especially if used during wet or winter conditions, and apply a light silicone lubricant to moving parts annually. For carbon forks, always ensure the clamping force is adjusted according to the manufacturer's recommendations to avoid over-tightening.
