Bike Racks

The CURT tray-style bike rack is a convenient and highly secure way of transporting your bicycles to that next destination. Its secret is a three-point mounting system. With two bottom, tray-style cradles and a ratcheting vertical arm, the bike rack holds each bike frame at three points, keeping it locked in place over hills, bumps and whatever else the road has in store. The ratcheting arm also features an integrated lock to keep your bikes even more secure and well protected from theft. The cradles of the tray-style bike rack are all designed to be fully adjustable to accept a variety of bike types -- everything from adult road bikes to kids' mountain bikes. The tray-style arms can also be replaced with our fat-tire cradles #18091 to accept bikes with tires up to 4-7/8" wide. Another advantage of the tray-style system is that it makes loading and unloading the bikes very easy. To load, simply set the bike tires into the horizontal, tray-style cradles. Then, lower the vertical, ratcheting arm down onto the center crossbar of the frame. With the arm's lockable design, each bike stays fully secure until you're ready to unload. CURT tray-style bike racks feature a hitch-mounted design for maximum convenience. They quickly and securely mount onto your vehicle whenever needed, using your vehicle's trailer hitch receiver tube. This particular bike rack features a standard 2" x 2" shank (NOTE: Never install bike rack on a trailer or other towed vehicle). The shank is also equipped with a threaded hole to offer an anti-rattle feature. This keeps the bike rack locked into the receiver tube and helps prevent obnoxious rattling and wobbling during travel. To give the CURT tray-style bike rack a staunch defense against the elements, it is covered in a durable black powder coat finish. This provides excellent rust and scratch resistance. This four-bike model features a weight capacity of 180 lbs., and it comes with two keys to operate the lockable ratcheting arms., TRAY-STYLE HITCH-MOUNTED BIKE RACK (4 BIKES, 2" SHANK) #18087 Tray-style cradles provide three points of contact to keep bikes fully secure.
