- Reach Cargo Without Unloading: Foot lever tilts rack down even with bikes still on.
- Load Easier and Faster: U-shaped frame lets you step in close for lifting and positioning.

Features to know about
Stable Support for Every Ride: 40 lb Capacity Per Bike
Each arm of the Kuat Transfer V2 holds up to 40 lbs per bike, giving solid support for road, gravel, and mountain setups. The platform-style rack carries up to 4 bicycles with a 50" maximum wheelbase and 3.0" maximum tire width, making it versatile without overcomplicating the loading process. The steel construction with a black powder coat keeps it sturdy and rust resistant, so it feels dependable every time you load up for a ride.
Simplified Loading and Unloading: U-Shaped Frame Design
Traditional platform racks can make you reach awkwardly over the frame, but the Transfer V2’s U-shaped base lets you step inside the rack for easy access. It’s easier to lift bikes into position without stretching or bumping into other bikes, and when folded, it doesn’t block the backup camera. This small design change makes a big difference when you’re loading multiple bikes or moving quickly between rides.
Smooth Access on the Go: Foot Lever for Tilt and Fold
With the spring-loaded foot pedal, you can tilt the rack down with bikes loaded to reach your cargo area or fold it up for storage when empty. The pedal is easy to reach even when all four bikes are mounted, and because your hands stay free, lowering or raising the rack feels controlled and stable. It’s a straightforward solution that saves time when you need quick access without unloading.
Secure by Design: Ratcheting Hooks and Locking System
Ratcheting hooks grab each bike firmly by the front wheel—never the frame—keeping carbon and painted finishes safe. The pivoting rear-wheel cradles adjust automatically to different wheelbases and secure with ratcheting straps. An 8-mm security wrench and hitch pin come included to tighten the tamper-resistant flatlock cam, reducing any hitch movement. A 1/4" braided steel cable lock loops through all your bike frames and locks back into the rack for an added layer of protection.
Quick Setup, Lasting Fit: Anti-Rattle Cam System
Installing the Transfer V2 is straightforward. Slide the 2" shank into the hitch receiver and tighten the flatlock cam with the included wrench. The built-in anti-rattle wedge takes out hitch play for a snug, stable ride. Once everything’s cinched down, you’ve got a clean, quiet connection ready for every ride ahead.

Easy to set up bikes, very sturdy. Love the lock that’s part of it. I am 140 pound woman and can put the trailer into my hitch on my own but it’s heavy. My husband set it up in an hour and a half.

This is an outstanding rack. It is amazing how quickly we can load four bikes on it compared to other racks we have used. It is a little heavier than other racks but easy and accommodating once on the vehicle as far as loading/unloading and foding against the tailgate. We have taken it out on multiple road trips and it has done really well over the road. I would highly recommend this one.

This is a great rack, and for the quality and ease of use, it's an affordable rack that provides confidence in knowing that my bikes are secure. I've used this for longer road trips and everything stays right where I put it, and I love the way it tightens inside the trailer hitch. I purchased a lockable hitch bolt to further secure the rack so I don't need to worry about anything. Being as long as it is and relatively heavy, it's a little unwieldy to use the foot pedal to release it and put it up, but it's not a deterrent in my opinion.

What I like about the one bike Transfer is I can open the tailgate on my 2025 CX5 without lowering the Transfer. This is a huge advantage. But you have to make sure your hitch is put forward as much as possible (no, you don’t need an extension) I can also get fairly close to the rear area which also helps.
What I don’t like is the screws attaching the arm to the main frame are too short. I had to replace one and probably should have done both. The safety mechanism which has to be pushed in in order to lower the rack is a total pain and not necessary. There’s also no lock to keep the entire rack from being stolen, although i suppose the special tool required to remove the rack will help in that respect. I found the A/B mechanism to change angle of front tire angle to be very klunky. There should also have been a pulldown strap for the front wheel as is found in other models.
All in all, the rack is minimalist and great for someone like me who rides once a week but uses the SUV rear on a regular basis. I researched all the alternatives and this rack is best for people who want full use of the rear.
I would say Kuat’s execution of the rack is not wildly impressive but it certainly appears like it will do the job. The tightening of the hitch requiring the special tool does minimize any movement in the rack itself.

Great product. Solid. I purchased the single, and it works great with MTB. Bike has wide handle bars. So I was worried there might not be enough space between tailgate and bike. No issues though. Easy to get bike off and on rack. Steady on the highway. Love it.

Very difficult to load bike on rack. The connection to the hitch wobbles. Took a long time and expense to get hitch installed, but that isn’t a fault of the bike rack.

Very solid rack for one e-MTB. Was concerned about the 1.5”/2” “variable” fit for receivers and I am happy to report that it sits very securely with the retaining ball mechanism.
For Tesla owners - My car uses FSD and with the rack folded, there hasn’t been interference. So, the one bike version doesn’t interfere with the rear camera. I don’t know if the 2 or more bike rack would interfere. Printed, clear instructions would be very helpful.
Great rack - thanks

I knew I wanted this specific bike rack, and I was 100% right. It's amazing. Takes me less than 5 minutes to attached the receiver to back of my car (I'm using a Stealth Hitch on a 2024 Volvo S60) and to insert the bike rack, tighten everything down, and load the bike. It's so easy, I think I could do it with my eyes closed. It's perfect for someone with one bike. It does stick out a bit with only one bike, so keep that in mind if you plan to buy the add on's for future bikes you want to carry simultaneously. It also does obscure the camera view a bit when reversing, because obviously. All in all, I love this thing as much as I love my bike. Perfect companion.

Overall I like the product,installation was fairly simple following directions. Haven’t taken it on the road yet as I just put together.Seems sturdy although I do have a lite bike.I do have one complaint and that would be the flimsy hitch pin.Its paper thin and I believe the hole should have been made bigger to accept a standard pin.Its paper thin,also doesn’t come with a lock pin which I just purchased separately.We will see how it holds up on a 2600mile trip it will be going on.

My husband and I are in our 60's and had no problem putting this together as per instructions. It's a good solid rack, no wobble even with my big 35 pound 29'er. It easily clears our steep curb on the back of our Subaru Outback. The hatch clears the bike and there's plenty of room to move between the car and bike in that tilt position. We loaded our car for vacation with the bike on the rack. It's a bonus to be able to leave it all on the car in our garage. We also bought the Drawtite 2" hitch from etrailer.com. We're very happy with this setup!

This rack came very well packaged with easy instructions to follow. It took about 1 hour to put it together. It is a very high quality product. We have it on our Subaru Crosstrek and it doesn't interfere with opening the back hatch when the rack is in the down position. The bikes are a breeze to load and unload. I highly recommend this bike rack.

We love this bike rack. We bought a couple ebikes and needed something we could use behind our travel trailer when camping and the truck when we just want to drive to some trails. When we were looki g, many can't be used behind travel trailers. We absolutely love the way its built - its sturdy, high quality, pretty easy to put together - good instructions. Love the tilting feature - use one foot - very easy. Love that it comes with the cable lock for the bikes, It is very adjustable for a wide range of bikes. We have step throughs. We did buy a hitch lock for extra security. We would recommend this rack to anyone.

Have now been using this rack pretty regularly for around a year and it has been extremely solid. I hesitated to buy such an expensive rack at first, but really no regrets. The Kuats quality has provided peace of mind when hauling two or even three bikes at a time. Its easy to use, easy to take on and off, and holds the bikes very securely. They barely even wobble, even when Im driving at highway speeds. Still highly recommend!

Received in a wel packaged box yesterday afternoon and quickly assembled following excellent step by step instructions. Rack to be mounted to my truck 2 inch hitch later this afternoon, then will size each of the three bikes on each platform. Want to thank e- trailer from order to delivery, great support. Next step based on excellent recommendation from Kyle S back on 18 Feb is to add a swing out capability with the Yakima back swing swing away hitch extender later this Fall, one step at a time. More to follow, Thanks!

I purchased the Kuat Transfer V2 after trying and returning the less expensive and frustrating Thule Apex XT 4 which would have needed the additional cross supports to properly transport the three hardtail mountain bikes we own. After about 40 minutes of assembly of the V2 with a good set of instructions, I was able to install the rack on the back of our vehicle quickly and get the bikes loaded in no time. Bike loading with the split mast design was easy and I was able to reach the foot pivot to lower the rack for access into the rear of the vehicle with the bikes loaded easily. The bikes sat in the support cradles securely and the handlebars did not interfere with each other. The rear tire ratchet straps were easy to secure and did not interfere with the wheel cradles while loading the bikes which I liked. The bike lock is easy to access and the cable secured to the rack easily. Overall I’m very pleased with the purchase and glad I sprung a bit more for a platform rack.

- Choosing Between Curt, etrailer, and Draw-Tite Hitches for 2024 Toyota Venza LE HybridHey Tanner! These hitches are all pretty similar so it can be hard to decide between them. If I were you I would choose the Curt # C77MJ over the other two. The Curt # C77MJ and etrailer # e84ZV actually share the same design, and both have the concealed cross tube just like the Draw-Tite # DT46MR. The only thing that will be visible for all three hitches is the receiver hanging down at the back. The difference in capacity compared to the Draw-Tite isn't a big deal since they all meet...

Would you be open to using a different 4 bike rack without that restriction like the Kuat Transfer V2 part # KU77FR which is a platform bike rack. What kind of bikes do you have?

The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # KU77FR is indeed compatible with the etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e98853. The hitch has a 2" receiver and a 525 lb tongue weight capacity so more than enough for 4 bikes. I have a 2013 Sienna with a similar hitch on it. That van is actually very stout when it comes to cargo carrying so you will be able to carry 4 bikes without issue. Just be careful on steep inclines. The hitch does ride a little bit low and...

Therefore, if you want to carry four bikes you'll need a new carrier, I recommend the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes part # KU77FR which is the updated design of the rack you have now and it allows for more bikes to be carried. The new version offers a wider range of bike fits, better finish, and more stability while loaded. The...

If you're needing a hitch, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C49CR will work great, but you're not going to be able to use your 4 bike rack. The only way any of those bike racks would physically fit is if you used a hitch expander # HTAD, but using an adapter would effectively cut your...

The Thule T2 Pro X # TH26ZE does weigh in at just over 100 lbs so for a lighter alternative I recommend the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU77FR. This weighs in at 73 lbs, can...

It looks like the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # HR4000 might work with your Trek Y-22 and Y-Foil. Because of the strap style of attachment, it may work with the smaller portion of bottom frame. But I have no way to verify the fitment with your specific bike.

- Is Thule T2 Pro X Bike Rack Compatible with Kids BikesHey Fulton, thanks for reaching out! The Thule T2 Pro X Bike Rack # TH26ZE is compatible with 20" - 29" wheel diameters so it will work with smaller bikes, but not if you have smaller kids bikes with something like a 18" wheel. The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # KU77FR has a wider range of wheel compatibility at 18" - 29" and has specs that match pretty close to the Pro X so I recommend checking out the Transfer V2 if your kids bikes have an 18" wheel.
view full answer... - 4 Bike Platform Rack Solution for Toyota Highlander that Allows Rear Cargo Access with Bikes LoadedI have a solution for you but none of the tilting platform bike racks would provide enough clearance for the rear hatch to open with bikes loaded and rack tilted down. Instead you would want to go with a pivoting bike rack solution like the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU77FR with the pivoting adapter part # PVP20B. This adapter would allow the rack to swing out completely from the rear of the vehicle to give you totally unrestricted access to rear cargo area.

This rack is durable. It carries my bike securely and damage-free on or off road. We leave it on the hitch most of the time but its easy to take off when we want to. We use a locking hitch pin for added security.
