Overview
A cyclist hauling several bikes on a car gets a tiered adjustable tray rack that mounts to a hitch receiver. A remote tilt lever and SKS locks are part of the package, and the trays accommodate long wheelbases.
Choose it for carrying a family or group of bikes on the back of a car without a roof lift. It is heavy at its listed weight, and the load capacity row does not say whether it applies to each bike or the whole rack.
Who it's for
A rider with a car and a hitch receiver who carries a group of bikes gets a tray rack with locks and a tilt lever. Anyone who lifts the rack on and off often, or has no hitch, should consider a lighter or roof-mounted option.
Pros and cons
- Carries four bikes
- Remote tilt lever
- SKS locks included
- Fits long wheelbases
- Heavy to lift on and off
- Load capacity not clarified per bike
- Hitch receiver required
Performance notes
Tiered trays hold each bike by the wheels, and the remote tilt lever is meant to move the rack so the car trunk or hatch can open. Load is limited by the listed capacity, which the page does not tie to one bike or to the total. Weight and alloy steel make it stable but hard to handle.
