This is a great bike rack. Perfect value for what you get.
Previous to this rack I went âcheapâ and bought an Allen rack for $120. It was really well made but there was an engineering flaw in how they adapted it for a 2â hitch. So I sent it back and spent 3 days researching racks. This rack was a lot more $$$ but was/is totally worth the expense. Itâs really well engineered and built. Itâs a super smart design that has impressed me.So in my research I saw some people saying itâs hard to assemble. Itâs not really. IKEA furniture is more frustrating. I got the 3 bike version, so you are assembling 9 components. The instructions are clear and I did it in our basement on the floor, which made it a bit more annoying. It took about an hour and half. If I had a table Iâm sure it would have taken an hour max. Itâs not complex, itâs just repeating the same thing 3 times.I will say itâs heavier than I was originally looking for. I wanted my wife to easily attach it to the car. But itâs a little too heavy for her. But it is incredibly easy to attach. You slide it into the hitch and just play with how far in or out until you can slide the pin in. And that pin is key for me – I feel confident the whole thing wonât fall out, which the Allen at 2â didnât have. But then they have this tool that you use to tighten it up so it doesnât wobble, and that thing is amazing. This rack is unbelievably sturdy. And it is so easy to use. The design is genius. The U shape means itâs easy to walk bikes in for placement unlike racks that have dedicated rails. And the tire channels also are a super smart design choice. The lock is also a really nice design touch. Once the bikes are off the step pedal makes it really easy to fold it up. And on our VW Tiguan nothing obscures the brake lights.But 2 small issues – when you have bikes on the rack itâs hard to reach the pedal to drop them so you can get into the trunk (great feature TBH, just not easy to get to, but you can work around it.)Second is this rack sticks out quite far and I wish they provided some reflective material for people to see it at night. Itâs an easy fix – just buy some reflective tape.If you are looking for a 2/3 bike hitch rack I honestly think this thing is what you are after. Great engineering, well built and apparently they planted a tree because we bought it, so a good company. And Iâve never written a review before (okay I did tell people not to buy that Allen product, but that was more like a warning!) I really love this rack. I like it when something exceeds my expectations, because my expectations are so low these days. Kudos to these folks for all they do.

Amazing Quality – Love it
Kuat Transfer V2 Hitch Bike Rack – 3 Bike Rack – Black, 2″ Hitch SizeWriting a review after 4 months of Usage.Really happy with the purchase.Looks cool as well. I have people walking to me, to check regarding the rack.All my bikes (18, 20 and 29 inch bikes) fits nicely.Feels solid once everything is properly mounted.Partial/blocked rear view from the camera and mirrorRack is heavy at 51lb and difficult to reach the tilting pedal, in the three bike configuration.Converted into 2 bike configuration since it makes it easy to handle the rack and improves rear visibility.I can put it back to 3 bike configuration, when ever I need it.The U shaped main frame, wont block the license plate as other racks does (without the bikes loaded).Nothing comes close to this one for mounting 3 bikes, at the price its offered.Specifics regards to my vehicle (might be same for any hitch mounted bike rack)Reverse parking aid cant be used when its mountedBe mindful not to accidently open the liftgate from insideAccount of the extra length, especially when loaded with bikes.Special mention to the ‘Great Lakes Outpost’ for their customer support. I reached out to them when my package arrived with box damaged. They did a really good job in resolving my issue. 5 star to them as well.

Excellent Bike Rack For The Price
Have been looking for a tow rack for a while but not wanting to spend a fortune on the one that starts with a âTâ. Saw this brand at a local bike shop and really liked it but unfortunately they didnât have the three bike and had no clear delivery of it. Purchased for our family of 3, who leisurely ride paved trails. The rack is a bit heavy but with a little strength can get it on or use two people. Easily supports 3 bikes and they donât touch. Love the wheel locking bar and the ease of being able to incline it down. Only set back is , hard to reach the foot lever to lower with three bikes on. Have to take one off to reach. Folds to the vehicle nicely and low profile enough to see out back window. We used a pickup truck for years and had to carefully place the bikes in. Now we can just place them on and not have to lift them up. Husband says itâs to heavy for a camper bumper, if youâre wanting it for that. We had thoughts of using it on the camper as well but will need a good tow hitch installed if we do. Overall a good buy for a novice or expert.
