Question:
I am looking at this bike rack and wondering if a semi-recumbent bike Giant Revive DX would fit? Thanks!

I spoke with my contact at Kuat and he stated that the NV Trailer Hitch Mounted Bike Rack, # N101, will accept bikes with a maximum wheel base of 48 inches. I did a little research and found some pictures of a Giant Revive DX. The top frame bar is at a slight angle but since this rack holds the bike at the wheels, it will not be a factor. The wheels on your bike will have to be from 20 inches to 29 inches with a wheel base under 48 inches.

FYI, the wheelbase on my Giant Revive DX is exactly 48 inches. Since the wheels are 20inch, the total length is 68 inches. This means the Revive should not require an especially long rack.

It should work, just make sure the bike is nice and secure before you hit the road.
