Why struggle with a heavy, oversized rack when you're only hauling one bike? The LittleShift is built for cyclists who want a quick, simple way to transport their ride, without wasted space or a complicated setup. Just load up and head out.
Your ride may change, but your rack doesn't have to. The LittleShift handles road bikes, e-bikes, gravel rigs, and even that funky cycle truck you impulse-bought. Swiveling wheel cradles adjust to fit almost anything, so if you're logging serious miles, bombing down trails, or daydreaming about future beach cruiser rides, this rack will grow with you.
Big rides need a rack that can handle the load. Even if you're rollin' on an e-bike, a beefy downhill rig, or a fully loaded commuter, the LittleShift takes it in stride with an 80 lb weight capacity. And weighing in at just under 25 lbs, it's easy to install, remove, and stash when you don't need it. Heavy-duty where it counts, lightweight where it matters.
Some racks tilt and fold, but all those moving parts can mean more flex, more wear, and less stability. The LittleShift skips the extra joints, keeping the rack itself sturdy and steady no matter what road lies ahead. With a reinforced frame, anti-rattle hitch pin, and three points of contact with your ride, everything stays firmly in place, keeping both the rack and your bike secure from start to finish. From highway cruises to rough backroads, your gear stays locked in so you can focus on the drive.
You just got back from an epic ride, legs burning but grinning ear to ear. The only thing on your mind? Kicking back and reliving the ride, and maybe a hot shower. With the LittleShift, there is no need to wrestle with your rack the second you get home. It's compact enough to stay on your vehicle, even loaded, so you can pull into the garage, shut the door, and save the unloading for later. Or, if you need your hitch free, it's light enough to pop off and stash in your trunk or garage in seconds.
A bike rack shouldn't get in the way when you're not using it. While other racks tilt to give you access to the back of your vehicle, the LittleShift doesn't have to. It sits close to your vehicle with just the right clearance, so you can open your hatch or tailgate without removing it from your receiver. So yeah, the LittleShift skips tilting, but you won't miss it.
The LittleShift's built-in step gives you a boost to grab rooftop gear or a place to rest post-ride. Swap your muddy shoes, load up extra cargo, or just take a breather. When you're stepping away, a keyed-alike lock set (e88RV - sold separately) adds a layer of security for both your rack and your bike. The D-shaped hitch lock replaces your standard pin while helping reduce movement in the connection, and the 10-foot cable threads through your bike and the slots in the step to help deter theft without complicating your setup.

Looks great on the back of the Bronco Denise! Really appreciate the photos. Glad you were able to get this secured and still open the rear door. What sort of places are you riding normally?

Hi Joshua. A lot of manufacturers are going to threaded hitch pins that will only work with their own bikes racks, and that is the case with the LittleShift. That said, we do have a locking anti-rattle pin with the etrailer D-Shape Anti-Rattle Locking Hitch Pin for Benton Hitch Accessories- 2" Hitches # e43JR. Which Curt anti-rattle device do yo currently use? With these pins being threaded, they will act as the anti-rattle device, but you may also be able to use the Curt one as well.

Thanks for sharing all the pics, Roderick! It's helpful to know what when folded down you still have plenty of clearance for your tailgate. That's always a question we get so your review is super helpful.

It’s great to hear the rack’s already making your life easier, Ken. Definitely beats wrestling with straps in the truck bed I'm sure. Glad you’re feeling confident with hauling your bike now—here’s to lots of fun rides ahead!

Wish I could change score up to stars! It holds the Kickbike too just needed to turn the Kickbike opposite direction. A year later and it’s holding up great!

You're so right, scheduling fun things as a responsible adult can be challenging. Sounds like the LittleShift fits your needs to a T, Kevin! Hopefully this rack encourages you to schedule more time on the trails, and helps you enjoy more of that refreshing feeling a post ride hydration gives you on your after-the-ride seat.

Happy to hear that you love the rack, Scott! I also agree that the added seat is nice to use when you're done with your ride and not ready to load your bike up yet :)

Oh I love this bike carrier. So easy to install. I take it on trips to northern Wisconsin all the time. Never have to worry about the bike flying off of it. Well made product. When the bike isn’t on there I use it for a seat to change shoes or boots.
