Atera Strada Evo Bike Rack Cover

[CaliFNY]

Hi, has anyone found a good waterproof cover for two bikes mounted on an Atera Strada Evo tow bar mounted bike rack, preferably with the clear window for the European country reflective stripe warning signs? Any pointers appreciated.

Tried a generic cover once
, used bungee cords etc to "fit" the cover around the bikes to reduce the inevitable flapping etc.

It caused horrific drag, increase fuel usage, particularly on motorways, it was affected by cross winds in France, where you could feel the effect on stability at motorway speed and when passing Lorries

IMO If you don't need the cover don't, I see big white using them with no problem, because the bike are pretty well shielded by the rear of the big white, not so on a transporter.

I like the look of the stretchy ones, so they contour around the bikes and stop the flap

We’ve been happy with the Hindermann cover for two bikes although this was on a Thule XT2 rack. Has a built in pocket for reflector board, various straps and a large pull cord at the bottom to avoid flapping. I recall we bought the extra Hinderman strap pack to support the warning sign. Both from Amazon. There’s a knack to installing it to avoid flapping areas. We didn’t notice a huge impact on drag or fuel consumption. Definitely recommend a cover to keep road dirt from the bikes and for an added level of security.
