Keep your bikes locked down and rattle-free on the road. The Arvika AVK7000BR18 is a complete replacement and upgrade arm kit designed specifically for Arvika bike racks mounted on teardrop and short A-frame trailers. It ships as a ready-to-install kit with the full arm, an integrated lock, and two durable nylon straps -- everything you need to secure the outermost bike position on your rack.
Teardrop and short A-frame trailers are a great match for small bike racks, but standard-length rack arms are often too long for the lower profile and tighter clearances these trailers present. Arvika designed the 18-inch arm specifically for their compact rack configurations, giving you a proper fit without improvised workarounds or zip-tie solutions.
The arm integrates a locking mechanism directly into the assembly, so your bike is not just strapped -- it is locked in place. The two included nylon straps provide a second layer of retention, keeping the frame from shifting or vibrating against the rack during travel on rough roads.
Built-in locking mechanism secures the arm and discourages opportunistic theft at rest stops and campsites.
Kit ships complete with two durable nylon straps -- no separate strap purchase needed to get your bike secured.
18-inch length is purpose-built for Arvika racks on teardrop and short A-frame trailers where longer arms do not fit.
High-quality steel arm paired with nylon and rubber contact points for durability and frame protection.
This is a complete kit -- not just the arm bar alone. The AVK7000BR18 includes:
No additional straps or lock hardware are required for installation and use.
Arvika builds bike carrier systems specific to the towing and mounting constraints of teardrop and short A-frame trailers. The 18-inch arm length is matched to the geometry of their shorter rack models -- using a longer arm from a standard rack would result in incorrect clearance and poor bike retention.
If your Arvika rack is mounted on a small or low-profile trailer and you are looking for a lockable outermost arm, the AVK7000BR18 is the correct part number to specify.
The arm is constructed from steel for structural rigidity, with nylon and rubber elements at key contact and retention points. This material combination keeps the arm lightweight relative to its strength, while the nylon and rubber components protect your bike frame from scratching or abrasion during transit.
