How to Choose the Right Bike RackUpdated 2 months ago

Choosing the right bike rack can feel overwhelming, but it can be made simple by starting with a few key questions:

1. What is your vehicle’s hitch size?

   • This helps determine which racks are compatible with your vehicle. Check each rack’s receiver size(s) under Specs > Receiver Size on the product page.

2. How many bikes do you need to carry?

   • Knowing this ensures you pick a rack that fits your lifestyle. Find each rack’s max bike capacity under Specs > Max Bike Capacity.

3. What is the heaviest bike you plan to transport?

   • This helps you select a rack that can safely support your bikes. Check each rack’s weight capacity under Specs > Total Weight Capacity & Weight Capacity Per Tray.

4. Will you be driving off-road while using the rack?

   • Some racks are better suited for rougher terrain than others. Check each rack’s road rating under Specs > Road Rating.
