25.01.2022 A HINT FOR YOU... don't lift your bikes higher than necessary when loading them. Our Bolt-On Mounts have lots of height adjustment (green arrows) Our Van-Racks have lots of front-to-back adjustment (red arrows)... We do this so you can get the perfect setup on YOUR particular caravan, camper or trailer and this type of versatility is just one of the reasons why companies like New Age Caravans Melbourne call GripSport, "the industry standard" for bike racks. You can buy direct from us online https://www.gripsport.com.au/vanracks/ Or visit one of more than 100 dealers around the country https://www.gripsport.com.au/dealers/

24.01.2022 The Silver Lining in every cloud... the unexpected benefits of "lock-down"

24.01.2022 Still growing!!!!!!! We've now got well over 100 dealers spread right across Australia and today we're welcoming another 4 into the family.

24.01.2022 Don't laugh! Daniel Sumner has owned other GripSport racks and knows better than to carry bikes like this. He was rushing and only tossed the kids' bikes up there for a quick photo. But he did say... "I have been so impressed with my previous GripSport rack and I needed a 4 bike for the caravan and the car and it had to carry all the different bikes we need to take everywhere,,, big and small, road and MTB! Why would I buy anything less." Thank you for the kind words, Daniel and safe travels.

24.01.2022 Charlie Sparks from NSW says GripSport bike racks are... "Solid Australian made products." Which is probably why he chose to buy one . Thank you Charlie and stay safe.

24.01.2022 Straight out of our robotic welding cell and off for zinc plating. Each one of these parts is the centrepiece for one 2-bike Van-Rack. Yep... we're flat out

23.01.2022 This is GripSports new GSE+ Bike Rack... and tilting bikes out of the way so you can access your rear door is just ONE of its brilliant features. Click here for more details, prices, videos, to buy direct from us online, or to find your nearest dealer - https://www.gripsport.com.au/e-bike-racks-cars-suvs-4wds/ ... #bikeracks #gripsport #electricbicycles

22.01.2022 Another one of our GS4+ racks spotted out and about. The GS4s can be set up at three different ride heights to suit your urban driving or extreme off-roading) and can also convert from a 4-bike rack to a 2-bike rack as needed. When asked why he chose a GripSport, owner Lewis Frederickson said... "It is a first rate bicycle transport system and is Australian owned and made."

22.01.2022 How to slap someone and get thanked for it Now be honest... you're wondering which one of your kids you can try this on, right?

22.01.2022 Angela McCormack said she chose a GripSport rack because... "of all the awesome reviews." Want to see what people think of us? Just have a quick look here (https://www.gripsport.com.au/about/reviews-testimonials/) Angela also said... "We Currently have a little tear drop and it means we can now take our bikes with us and easily remove them to open our teardrop. Love it."

22.01.2022 Thank you to Mary Prest from NSW who bought a 2-bike Van-Rack for her Nova Caravans and told us... "It is the most sturdy, well built bike rack on the market and is so quick and easy to load and unload bikes. It also comes with the option of purchasing extra parts for more bikes. We like the versatility of the car towbar adaptor as you can use the bike rack on weekends."

21.01.2022 GREAT NEWS! Last minute changes to the Victorian Government's Stage 4 "lock down" regulations mean we do NOT have to close. Apologies for any confusion about this over the last week, but this happened literally ONE hour before Stage 4 came into force and the bottom-line now is...... * We ARE manufacturing * We ARE selling via our online store. * We ARE shipping to any address in Australia and NZ * We ARE supplying our dealers right across the country. PLEASE NOTE: * We DO currently have stock, BUT... it is selling very quickly. * We ARE manufacturing per our normal schedule, BUT... we can't guarantee there won't be SOME delays at SOME time over the coming months if we have issues getting raw materials from our suppliers. * Because of the unprecedented demand for GripSport racks, many of our dealers are "stocking up" and ordering in larger quantities than usual. Find your nearest dealer here and get in touch with them sooner rather than later though (https://www.gripsport.com.au/dealers/) As always, don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. And of course stay healthy, look after yourself and those around you and be thankful we're not living in Brazil or the US Contact us here (https://www.gripsport.com.au/contact/)

21.01.2022 Good or bad... we ALWAYS want to hear what our customers have to say about our racks and why it was they chose a GripSport over all the others on the market. Darren McClure told us... "After a lot of research (I found) it was the safest and strongest rack out there and the only one flexible enough to take our e-bikes (including a Yuba Boda cargo bike), plus the kids bikes! The quick set up and release is awesome. Cheers Darren."

20.01.2022 NEW TOY THURSDAY. Nothing better than when a truck turns up carrying a new machine in a big ol wooden box

20.01.2022 Like father... like son . This is Talon ( the one getting plenty of "air") and his son, Beyer (deep in concentration at the start gate). They're enjoying a race day at the Park Orchards BMX Club. Talon works in our warehouse and yes... he does use a GripSport rack to get his bikes where he's going... but it's probably the oldest and most abused GripSport rack still in use anywhere in the country and we reckon he needs to upgrade... if he likes his job

20.01.2022 With over a hundred dealers right across Australia, its easier than ever to get setup and ready to travel with your bikes. This Golf Caravans Australia "Savannah" got the GripSport treatment from the good folks at Ballarat City Caravans and their advice (just like ours) is that the rush to get on the road is coming... so dont leave your setup till the last minute

20.01.2022 How to slap someone and get thanked for it Now be honest... youre wondering which one of your kids you can try this on, right?

19.01.2022 Are you having a good day? Or a bad day? Its all a matter of perspective really

19.01.2022 And the BIG news is that yes, there really IS going to be a Caravan and Camping Show in Victoria this year. And GripSport is excited and proud to be a part of this brilliant new concept. Don't miss this one folks. * Click here for details... https://victoriancaravanandcampingvirtualshow.com.au/ * And click here to go on their mailing list for show information and specials. https://gomakesomememories.us10.list-manage.com/subscribe Go Make Some Memories

19.01.2022 Not Board Across Oz are camped up in beautiful looking spot. Were not saying were jealous... but were jealous. Oh well, the sooner everyone does the right thing the sooner we can all be doing this.

19.01.2022 Big shoutout to Camprite, the all Aussie manufacturer of very tough and very classy off-road campers. Like so many caravan and camper manufacturers, they fit our racks as standard (OEM) when their customers want a bike rack, but Camprite have a beautifully designed and engineered way of attaching our racks to their campers. Take a look at the pics and read the post from one of their own customers.

19.01.2022 FROM OUR ARCHIVES - some of our Bike Trailers... for when a bike rack on your car just isnt enough

18.01.2022 Thank you to Dennis Briggs for the great feedback on our GS2 rack. "This would have to be one of the best things I’ve purchased in the past few years. The rack is so easy to use and built like it was made to last forever. Our bikes take two minutes to put on and are so secure they are going nowhere. Thanks for a great product and please feel free to use these photos. PS rack is used on Holden commodore ZB Calais."

18.01.2022 Some nice feedback from Michael Talbot about his new GS4. "It's Australian made and built to last a lifetime. If you want a bike rack that is easy to install, easy to use and carries your bikes safely then buy a GripSport as nothing else compares." Thank you Michael. Safe travels

17.01.2022 THE best advertising we could ever hope for

17.01.2022 No one's going to be travelling overseas anytime soon. So get set up NOW for some Aussie adventure with your bikes.

16.01.2022 Well we're not going to argue with them. Thank you to New Age Caravans in Melbourne who have just labeled us as the "Industry Standard" for bike racks. That's a huge statement... especially from such a huge and well respected manufacturer as New Age and we appreciate it greatly CLICK HERE to see their Instagram post ... https://www.instagram.com/p/CEdKjBwFhmo/ See more

16.01.2022 From Ricky Di Cocco in Victoria "I bought a GripSport Bike Rack because I needed my bikes to be in great shape at my destination. So easy to load & unload as well."... Glad you're happy with your choice, Ricky

16.01.2022 Farmers know a lot about equipment and expect a lot from their gear, so when a farmer says... "I like the looks, sturdiness and ease of use" of his GripSport rack, then we figure we've done OK. Thank you to Erich Gstrein of Camperdown, Vic.

15.01.2022 Our bike racks aren't called "the industry standard" for nothing. Read this great write-up on our Van-Racks by the highly respected crew at WHATS UP DOWNUNDER https://whatsupdownunder.com.au//wudu-december-2020-mont/ And once you're finished with our review on page 56... have a browse through the rest of this wonderful mag.... Many thanks to Fireman Ron & Di for the kind words and to Jayco Newcastle for being a fantastic GripSport dealer and for representing our brand so well.

15.01.2022 Do you know where Tumbarumba is? It's on the western slopes of the Snowy Mountains and it's pretty as a picture. Why not Google it and maybe add it to your post-COVID travel plans. And thank you to Mark from the Tumbarumba Touring Company for making us aware of this gem of a place. Tumba Touring can customise tours for groups of up to 11 guests for half day, day and weekend tours in the Tumbarumba region. You can choose from a range of activities, sights and venues to visit and they can pick you AND your bike from locations within 100 kilometres of Tumbarumba. And yes, that's a GripSport carrier system on Tumba Touring's trailer, so you know your bikes are going to be well looked after

15.01.2022 It's easy for us to prattle on about all the features of our racks, but it's even better when customers see all the important little things for themselves. Chris Doherty gave us some great feedback on our GSE e-bike rack and picked up on things that were on the top of our "must have" list when we designed this beauty. "I like the overall easy good looking solid design, the bike ramp, the spacing between the bikes so they don't rub, the fact that the bikes are securely held in place, the tilt mechanism making access to the rear of my car easy and the tail light assembly. It's also easy to install and remove from the rear of the car."

15.01.2022 Queensland... beautiful one day, perfect the next... and our dealer in Bundaberg (Takalvans) has all the must-have gear and advice you need for Aussie travelling... no matter where you're heading.

14.01.2022 Oh yes there IS a Caravan & Camping Show in Victoria... and it's nearly here!

14.01.2022 We bet you didn't know that "maths" could help you explore so much more while you're caravanning.... but it's simple really. 1 x GripSport Van-Rack on your caravan + 1 x Tow Bar Adapter for your tow vehicle = Complete cycling freedom (i.e. you're not forced to start and finish every ride at your campground) Go on... get out there and explore

14.01.2022 There's ALWAYS somewhere to have a ride... even when it feels like you're hiding out in a jungle somewhere . Make the most of every trip you do... take the bikes. New Age Caravans Melbourne

14.01.2022 Great to see our newer dealers getting straight into the thick of selling and installing our Van-Racks.

12.01.2022 Six Happy Campers sent us a pic of their home on wheels and wanted to tell us about their GripSport Van-Rack. Their exact words were... "Bloody good rack that's for sure Have been cruizin round for almost a year and haven't had to look at it twice!" Thank you, guys. Safe travels
