Almost certainly and if not, why not just take off the front wheel? With both rear seats down, you can fit a bike into most cars.Jim68 wrote:Could anyone please advise/confirm if a road bike will fit in the rear of a Mitsubishi ASX (rear car seats down, both wheels remaining on the bike, rear wheel in first and front wheel ‘turned up’)Thank you.

The front wheel is easy to remove / assemble - just the brake cable (there is usually a lever that opens up the brakes) and the skewer.

My Cervelo minus front wheel will fit like that (behind the front seats) in my wife's Mazda 2. It lives like that in my Patrol or Audi. No probsAUbicycles wrote:I have found that a road bike without the front wheel fits in fairly small cars... sometimes if the boot is full, it can even slide behind the front seats (obviously no rear passengers).

Interestingly my wife's hybrid "learner" bike didn't, it was a few cm longer and with wide flat bars you couldn't turn the wheel 90 degrees

Or buy the outlander. The 7 seaters have adjustable rear seats. Plus you don't pay the Honda taxTheWall wrote:Buy a Honda HR-V (or even the Jazz) as it has MUCH more room than the other options. The boots are amazing. Check them out before you decide.

My regular rig though is a Subaru Outback (which is just a Liberty with a suspension lift kit), and I've easily fitted two MTBs, a spare set of wheels plus a weekend's worth of camping gear in the back, although the second bike did need the front wheel taken out, and still been able to see out the back window!

I've also travelled with two bikes in a Liberty Wagon plus spare wheels and gear for a long weekend for two people. I generally use an old rug to separate the bikes and just lay them flat, with the rear seat down. Spare wheels in wheel bags, and gear boxes in the rear footwells.Duck! wrote:….My regular rig though is a Subaru Outback (which is just a Liberty with a suspension lift kit), and I've easily fitted two MTBs, a spare set of wheels plus a weekend's worth of camping gear in the back, although the second bike did need the front wheel taken out, and still been able to see out the back window!
I dislike the use of external carriers or roof mounted bikes. I've travelled with a mate who used a rear carrier but since that time he's always borrowed his partners wagon and stowed everything inside the vehicle. I had another mate who removed both wheels and packed his bike neatly in the boot of a Honda Civic sedan...or maybe it was an Accord. This all assumes you only have two people max on board of course.

Don't be worried about asking because if a salesperson can sniff a potential sale they will bend over backwards to help. Tip: take a sheet or similar to put in the back of the vehicle before putting the bike in - it lets them know you care.
I also do not like taking-off the front wheel, far easier to just lift the bike in and out as a single unit.
