The benefits of a retractable towbar
- Compact: The compact construction and special retractable mechanism make these towbars compatible even for cars with limited available space behind the bumper.
- Convenience: The plug on the ball neck makes it easy to wire the trailer or bike carrier into the car's electrical system.
- Immediately ready for use & almost invisible: The towbar releases in seconds when needed — the rest of the time it is hidden and stored behind the bumper.
