What's the difference between Flange, Swan and Detachable?

Flange style

Traditionally used for all serious forms of towing and generally the most cost effective option. A 50mm towball or ball & pin is bolted to a two or four hole plate (vehicle dependant) that also allows the fitting of accessories such as a towbar mounted cycle carrier. Unfortunately the flange style towbar is almost certainly going to be detected by parking sensors if fitted.

Swan style

Mainly used as a cheaper alternative to the detachable but with a much neater appearance then the standard flange style. Although the swan neck is much narrower, this bar still could become an issue with parking sensors on some vehicles.

Detachable style

If you need to tow but don’t want to ruin the looks of your vehicle, then this is the style bar for you. Generally hidden from view when the necks removed and with nothing left behind the vehicle when not towing, your parking sensors will be fine.
