The Standard Pivot Plate is an essential component of the bicycle rack system for all our Standard bicycle racks. It provides the mounting and pivot point for the bicycle rack. The pivot plate is connected to bumper brackets and enables the bicycle rack to move between the stowed and deployed positions. The Standard Pivot Plate is 26" wide and is compatible with our standard bicycle racks including the DL2, Trilogy, and VeloPorter series.
The Narrow Profile Pivot Plate was developed specifically for our DL2 Narrow Profile (NP) bicycle rack. This pivot plate has a smaller profile than the standard pivot plates and the rack to pivot plate interface is 16" wide. The Narrow Profile Pivot Plate is only compatible with our DL2 NP bicycle rack. NP racks are intended for use on narrower vehicles, where they may reduce headlight interference.
