BikeStow Tilting Fork Mount - 20x110 mm Boost Thru-Axle

Transport multiple bikes close together with handlebars turned and no clashing!

The Tilting Fork Mount is the result of (son & co-founder) George’s engineering dissertation at Loughborough University which aimed to develop a solution for smaller vans, campers, or vehicles..

Typically fork mounts cause the bike to lean over when you turn the handlebars which leads to clashes with other bikes, takes up more space, and adds unwanted strain to your bike. This is due to the head angle and geometry of the bike, which makes the front-axle tilt and no longer be parallel to the ground once the handlebars are turned.

The Tilting Fork Mount compensates for this with its patent-pending tilting design to match the angle of the axle! This means you can fit multiple bikes close together or into tight spaces, reduce handlebar clashes, and minimize the footprint used.

Features of BikeStow Tilting Fork Mount:

• Transport multiple bikes close together with handlebars turned and no clashing!
• Patent pending tilt design allows the handlebars to be turned (up to 45°) without causing the bike to lean over.
• Pins mechanically lock the tilting hub so it never slips with heavier bikes.
• Perfect for smaller vans or camper conversions.
• Fixes to the BikeStow Rail, other rail systems, or directly to your floor.
• Interchangeable hub to fit different axle types.
• CNC machined in-house in the UK.

How does it work?

The Fork Mount comprises a base, a swappable-hub (available in different axle sizes), and a screw to lock the two components together. The hub has a series of pins which locate into corresponding holes in the base, giving 3 tilt positions in each direction (±13°) plus horizontal. This tilt range means the bike’s handlebars can be turned up to 45° without causing the bike to unwantedly lean over (depending on the head angle of your bike)! Slacker downhill bikes generally use the most extreme tilt position, whereas steeper cross-country bikes may only need the first tilt position.

Of course you can still store bikes horizontally with the handlebars straight, or even tilt them deliberately, giving you a range of configurations.

The Fork Mount can be attached to the BikeStow Rail with mounting kits, or to other aluminium extrusion rail and track systems with your own hardware. Alternatively, it can be screwed directly to your floor with screws or insert nuts.

BikeStow CNC machine each Fork Mount in-house from 6082-T6 aluminium before they’re anodised to a matte green and grey finish.

The tilting hub can be quickly swapped out to fit different axle types and sizes.
