Fat bikes and beach cruisers ride heavy, and this rack is built to handle them. Each platform holds up to 45 lbs per bike, giving steady support for two bikes with tires up to 4.88" wide. The padded, ratcheting frame hooks grip by the top tube to keep bikes from shifting, while the soft padding prevents scratches on painted frames. It’s solid steel with a black powder coat finish that stays durable and rust resistant through all seasons.
Switching between bikes is simple thanks to the sliding wheel hoops. Each hoop adjusts along the arms with hand knobs to match different bike lengths, from standard mountain setups to long fat-tire rigs. Two sets of wheel holders come with the rack—one for up to 3" tires and one for 4.88" fat tires—so you can mix and match without extra parts.
Grabbing gear from the back shouldn’t mean removing your bikes. The rack’s tilt-down design lets you drop it away for full cargo access, even when both bikes are mounted. When it’s time to hit the road again, the rack folds back into position with a quick pin pull.
There’s nothing worse than a rattling rack on the drive. The included threaded anti-rattle hitch pin tightens the connection at the receiver to cut down on movement and noise. It keeps the ride smooth and the bikes steady from start to finish.
When the bikes are off, the rack doesn’t need to stay in the way. It folds two different ways—either up against the back or with the cradle arms folded toward the mast—so it stays compact and clear. The adapter sleeve makes it ready for either 1-1/4" or 2" hitches, adding flexibility for different setups without needing separate racks.

You mentioned that you believed that you were just receiving one set of wheels with the bike rack. This bike rack does come with 2 sets of standard-size wheel holders and 2 set of fat bike tire holders to give you the option to carry any combination of 2 fat or standard bikes.

Thank you for your review. This curt bike rack part # C18085-FB comes with an adapter to make it fit into a 1-1/4 or a 2 hitch. I am not sure which size hitch you have but you may want to make sure the adapter is flipped to the correct size to fit into your hitch. If you have a 2 hitch and the adapter is on the 1-1/4 side then it will rock back and forth in the hitch. If you have it on the correct side then an anti-rattle device such as a roadmaster quiet hitch will help. The quiet hitch will tighten up the space between the bike rack and the hitch receiver. If you have a 2 hitch then you will need part # RM-061. If you have a 1-1/4 hitch you will need part # RM-061-125.
Do you have a question about this Hitch Bike Rack?
