Keep the outermost bike on your Arvika rack locked down and travel-ready. The AVK7000BR11 is an 11-inch lockable arm built specifically for Arvika bike racks mounted on teardrop trailers and short A-frame trailers. It ships as a complete assembly -- arm, integrated lock mechanism, and two flexible straps -- so you can install it and hit the road without hunting for hardware.
Teardrop and short A-frame trailers sit low and leave limited clearance at the hitch end of a bike rack. Standard-length arms can interfere with the trailer body or leave bikes shifting under load. Arvika engineered the AVK7000BR11 at 11 inches specifically to serve as the outermost arm position on these compact trailer rack setups, giving bikes a stable hold without fouling the trailer structure.
The integrated lock adds a real security layer -- not just a strap you can cut in seconds. Combined with the two flexible rubber straps, the arm grips the bike frame firmly whether you are rolling over highway expansion joints or bumping down a forest service road to camp.
Built-in lock keeps the arm and bike secured during transit and deters opportunistic theft at rest stops or campgrounds.
Rubber straps cushion and grip the bike frame, reducing vibration-induced wear on frame finish over long hauls.
Structural steel core for rigidity, nylon plastic components for corrosion resistance, rubber contact points to protect bike finishes.
Sized and configured to function as the final arm on the rack -- positioned away from the trailer body where clearance is tightest.
Teardrop trailers and short A-frame trailers have become increasingly popular among minimalist campers and overlanders. Their compact proportions mean conventional full-size bike racks often overhang awkwardly or contact the trailer skin. Arvika's trailer-specific rack system, including the AVK7000BR11 arm, is built around the geometry of these trailers so bikes mount cleanly without modification.
The 11-inch arm length positions the outermost bike far enough from the rack column to allow easy loading and unloading while keeping the overall rack footprint tight against the trailer.
The arm combines a steel structural core for load-bearing rigidity with nylon plastic hardware for corrosion resistance in outdoor and wet environments. Rubber contact surfaces at the strap interface protect bike frame tubing from scratches and dampen road vibration. This combination is built for seasons of use on North American roads and trails.
The AVK7000BR11 is manufactured in Canada. It carries a 30-day warranty from Arvika. Retain your purchase receipt as proof of purchase for any warranty claim.
