Bike and trailer dimensions

[smifffymoto]

Will an enduro bike fit in a 2 metre long box trailer or will the back wheel need to poke out of the back?

It will probably poke out the back.

My bikes are 80"-88" long which is 2m-2.2m in length.

You should be able to google the dimensions.

It'll go in on the diagonal or with the front wheel turned. Typical Enduro bike wheelbase is circa 1500mm so should be fine

Only gives wheelbase not overall length unfortunately

Easy to calculate to get close enough.....

Wheelbase is to centers of axles. Add 21' front wheel /2 +tyre and 18' rear wheel /2 plus tyre....

As said, it should squeeze in on the diagonal....And if not, and the rear gate of the trailer needs to be left down, it's not a problem...

This, wheelbase + 26"-27"?

Or load diagon alley.

Temporarily replacing front wheel with a wheelbarrow wheel is a good way to reduce length & height

But wrecks the handling

I fitted a Yamaha XJR1300 in the back of a people carrier by dropping the forks down through the yokes, took less than 10 minutes to do.

Where there's a will there's a way.
