What are Wall-Mounted Bike Racks and What Are Their Benefits?

A wall-mounted bike rack is a practical way to store your bike on the wall, freeing up space in your garage, home, or office. Bike racks come in different types for lighter and heavier bikes. They can be attached by the frame, front wheel, handlebar, or pedal. Rack hooks are covered with rubber to prevent bike scratches.

With a wall-mounted bike rack, you solve the issue of space, and family members always know where the bike belongs, avoiding situations where the bike is left in a place where a small child might trip and get hurt.

Types of Wall-Mounted Bike Racks

There is a wide variety of wall-mounted bike racks. They are attached differently, made of plastic or metal, and can support varying weights. When choosing this accessory, you should pay attention to the following details:

2. Which mounting elements should you choose, and are they included?
3. Do you want to lift the entire bike or just the front wheel? Wall-mounted bike racks like "BRIX-IT" or "VOXOM VHA1" hold only the front wheel, so you don’t need to lift the whole bike.
4. Will you store the bike indoors or outdoors? For outdoor storage, choose racks with an anti-corrosion coating.
