THE STORM BIKE RACK

July 17, 2026

British family-run manufacturer BikeStow has launched the Storm – Three; a freestanding, secure, and faff-free bike rack alternative to clamping delicate carbon frames, hanging bikes from heavy hitch racks, or rubbing paintwork on tailgate pads. The Storm is an exterior grade evolution of their well known and loved in-van Original rack, but this time intended specifically for trucks & outdoor use.

It’s freestanding and fold-flat design requires just two straps to secure it to your truck bed, making setup effortless. This also means it can be easily taken out of your truck and used as a versatile storage or work station; ideal for camping, racing, home and garage storage or as a wash stand.

Unlike tailgate pads, there is absolutely no frame contact, meaning you won’t find any dirt or grit rubbing and damaging your paintwork during transport. The Storm’s patented geometry and v-sliders instead hold on to your bike’s wheel. The three contact points equidistance around the wheel hold it in the most secure way possible.

In contrast to hitch-racks, the Storm carries your bikes entirely within your truck’s bed, keeping your bikes safer, preventing road oil & debris from contaminating your brake discs, and leaving no cameras or back-up sensors blocked.

Key Features:

• Supports three road, MTB, or eMTB bikes
• Freestanding & fold flat design for quick setup and compact storage
• No frame contact – prevents rubbing, scratching, and damage
• Keeps bikes and brake discs clean of road oil, dirt, and debris
• Doesn’t block hitch access, rear-view cameras, or sensors
• 3-in-1 functionality: transport, storage, and wash-stand
• Heavy-duty weatherproof construction with stainless-steel hardware
• Patented v-slider and three-point wheel support for exceptional stability
• Designed and Made in Britain

“Ever since we bought our Hilux truck a few years ago, we’ve wanted to make an outdoor version of our Original rack. It’s taken 31 iterations to find a design, material, and construction that takes everything we already love about the Original into a heavier-duty and weatherproof unit” – George Laight Co-founder & Head of Design.

The Storm is manufactured in-house in Stourbridge, United Kingdom, with a heavy-duty weatherproof construction paired with all stainless steel hardware. It is shipped fully assembled, meaning all you have to do is unfold it, place it in your truck bed, and load your bikes.

Founded in search for a better way to transport bikes in their family van, BikeStow has grown from a weekend home project into one of Britain’s best-known bike transport & storage names.
