A safe towbar is not created only during installation. Vehicle structure, mounting points, permitted towing capacity, nose weight, operation and later use all have to be considered from the concept and design phase onwards.

ORIS develops vehicle-specific towbars and brings decades of experience from working with leading vehicle manufacturers into aftermarket solutions.

Technical requirements are transferred to the respective application and made usable for retrofitting. The goal is a connection that not only fits mechanically, but also works precisely and reliably in everyday use.

Whether for private or professional use, whether for a bike carrier or trailer operation: safety starts with a solution that fits the vehicle.

Safety at ORIS starts with consistent compliance with legal requirements, relevant standards and recognised quality standards. The underlying processes and management systems are regularly reviewed and audited by independent certification bodies. Every towbar is developed and tested to meet the technical and regulatory requirements needed for approval. This creates products and processes whose safety and quality are verifiably secured.

Complying with legal requirements is the basis at ORIS, but it is not where development ends. Every towbar must also meet proven internal design, engineering and safety standards. In many areas, these requirements go beyond the minimum standards prescribed by regulations. Additional testing and systematic improvement processes help continuously develop products and production processes. This creates a level of safety that is not based solely on approval, but on reliable long-term use.

A towbar must not only perform in technical testing, but above all in everyday use. It must fit during installation, lock securely during use and remain reliable even after repeated operation.

For families, this means confidence on the way to their holiday destination. For caravan travellers, it means a stable connection to the caravan. For riders, it means responsibility towards the horse in the trailer. For professional users, safety is part of daily operational reliability.

ORIS towbars support these different requirements with vehicle-specific solutions for various areas of use.

ORIS bike carriers are designed for stable, reliable and safe transport. What matters is not only the design of the carrier itself, but also its precise and load-bearing connection with the towbar. The bike carrier must remain securely positioned and function reliably even under higher loads, changing driving conditions and regular use. This is particularly important when transporting heavy e-bikes.

One example of the technological development of this connection is FIX4BIKE®. Additional connection elements on the towbar neck and the matching interface on the bike carrier create a defined, form-fit connection. This makes the carrier particularly easy to position and stable to connect to the vehicle. In this way, FIX4BIKE® complements the high safety and comfort standards of ORIS bike carriers with a particularly user-friendly technical solution.

With modern towbars, safety goes beyond mechanics alone. Fully electrically swivelling systems in particular combine convenience with additional safety functions.

The ORIS E3 extends and retracts at the touch of a button. When not in use, the towbar neck disappears behind the bumper. Thought-out safety mechanisms such as status indicators and protection functions support safe operation in everyday use.

This means technology is not an end in itself, but a practical gain in safety and convenience for modern vehicles.
