Malone Hanger BC3 OS Back-of-Car 3-Bike Carrier | 33 lb per Bike

Overview

The Malone Hanger BC3 OS is a back-of-car bike carrier designed to move up to three bikes on everyday family trips or weekend adventures. It combines a sturdy profile with a compact footprint, letting you transport bicycles without dominating your trunk space. Thoughtful design details help you prepare for a smooth, on-the-road experience from curb to curb.

Design and construction that you can feel

Built with oversized 1.25" steel tubing, the BC3 OS emphasizes durability while keeping the overall weight manageable for installation and removal. An integrated cable lock adds a layer of security during quick stops, so you can grab a coffee without leaving your bikes completely exposed. The frame is paired with reflective accents on the arms to improve visibility in low-light conditions, helping keep you and others aware of your rig on the road.

Four quick-release hubs enable fast, tool-free adjustments, and the six-point webbing strap system stabilizes each bike, reducing movement while moving. Anti-sway cages work to prevent bikes from touching each other, even on uneven pavement or during sudden stops. When not in use, the fold-flat design lets the arms tuck away for easier storage in a garage or shed.

What you get and how it fits your bikes

The BC3 OS ships with one complete frame and strap assembly, one cam buckle webbing strap, two keys, and straightforward instructions. It supports a load of 33 lbs per bike, up to three bikes total, with dimensions of 32" x 22" x 30" and a tested weight of 15 lbs. This combination aims to deliver a practical balance of stability and portability for regular riders.
