Features to know about

Built for Big Tires and Bigger Adventures: Fits Up to 4.88" Wide Fat Tires

When your rides roll on oversized rubber, you need a rack that can keep up. The Curt 4 Bike Platform Rack for Fat Bikes holds tires up to 4.88" wide, giving you room for fat bikes and standard bikes alike. Adjustable wheel hoops slide to fit different lengths, and padded frame hooks clamp each bike securely by the top tube. Whether you’re hauling four rigs or converting it down to two, every mount feels solid and steady.

Load It Your Way: Converts from 4-Bike to 2-Bike Setup

Not every trip calls for the full crew. This rack easily converts from a four-bike hauler to a two-bike carrier by removing the outer platform section. It’s a quick change that trims down size and weight when you only need room for a couple of bikes. One setup covers solo rides, weekend duos, and family outings without needing extra gear.

Easy Access Without Unloading: Tilts Down When Fully Loaded

Grabbing gear from the back shouldn’t mean unloading your bikes. The Curt platform rack tilts away so you can reach the cargo area even with all four bikes mounted. Just pull the pin at the base to swing it down, then lock it back upright when you’re done. Simple, tool-free movement makes quick stops easier on long drives or trail days.

Quiet and Secure on the Road: Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin and Integrated Locks

Nothing ruins a drive like rattling gear. The included anti-rattle hitch pin tightens the connection inside your 2" receiver to keep motion and noise to a minimum. Built-in locks on the ratcheting hooks protect each bike while cushioning keeps frames free of scuffs and scratches. The result is a quieter ride and peace of mind when parked or cruising.

Compact Storage When You’re Done Riding: Two Fold-Up Options

When the ride’s over, this rack folds up neatly in two ways—either by raising the cradle arms toward the mast or folding the entire assembly against the back of your vehicle. Both setups cut down space and keep things tidy between trips. With its steel body and black powder coat finish, it’s built to handle years of loading, hauling, folding, and rolling wherever your rides take you.

Pleased with product and price.

Solid product came as advertised very easy install holds two ebikes problem very little sway.



by:

What a great product. Easy to install and very sturdy! Would highly recommend!



by:

I received the rack quickly. I suspected there would be damage when I saw the shipping box. One of the wheel hoops was bent. Contacted etrailer and was told I could return the product. I didn’t have the time to return it because of a planned trip. I’ve used the rack as is. Easily adjusts to different bikes and works just fine.



by:

My order was timely. Product was sturdy, and well built. Very pleased.



by:

easy to put on hitch. folds to a compact size for storage. very pleased with it.



by:

Nice design, however, would prefer the carrier be stronger and less movement on the hitch.



by:

The rack arrived on time, was very easy to install and is just great. The price was so affordable, the video very informative, the overall experience was beyond my expectations. I am 80 years young and was hesitant about purchasing an electric bike, so this was a new experience for me. Thanks.



by:

I haven't driven anywhere with it yet but I put it together and put the bike on it and secured it. Very easy to set up. Etrailer is on the ball! Every time I have ordered with them, they have come through for me!



by:

Easy to put on the vehicle, holds our e-bikes securely, and very easy to operate. We love our bike rack!!



by:

Great bike rack. Came with two sizes of wheel widths one set for fat tire bikes. Went together easily and didn’t wobble.



by:

I received it in just 2 days, I just installed this rack with no issues other than it rocks really bad in the receiver.



by:

Great and affordable rack. Well made. Easy to assemble. Fast shipping and excellent customer service.



by:

I have not actually used the bike rack yet. Having said that, it is a solid heavy duty unit that went together nicely.



by:

How you guys advertise is miss leading. You should have the weights of what the bike rack can handle. Got the bike rack and to find out in the installation manual it wasn't big enough. Then to top it off you charged me xxx.xx to send it back.



by:

Very Secure and solid I have 2 E-Bikes fat tire It a bike rack you can trust Locks them on securely



by:

It’s exactly what I needed to travel with my fat tire bike. I have an SUV but my bike is so big it will not fit in the back. So this rack serves it’s purpose perfectly. Solid and well-built item. I would recommend it highly!…



by:

Everything was shipped correctly and in good condition!!!...I would purchase again on the future !!!



by:

I feel like I scammed a bit. I think I bought both the regular bike rake and a set of wheel things for fat tires. When I thought I was just getting one set of wheel things.



by:

Hauling carrier and was assemble on May 20th. Assembly went fairly well according to the instructions. As yet have not hauled my ebike but will do so on May 30th.Unit is fairly heavy to handle but I am sure necessary to handle two heavy bikes.



by:

I bought this for our fat bikes after a lot of frustration with our previous hitch rack that was your typical hang by the frame style. This rack is so easy to use with two fat bikes and allows easy access to the hatchback of our SUV with removing just two pins even while loaded with bikes. It also sits high enough that it does not scrape the ground when backing out of steeper driveways like our other rack. I would recommend this rack to anyone looking for a platform rack for any style bike (we bought the additional tire platforms for our other bikes with narrower tires).



by:

Excellent build quality. Simple to assemble. Included hoops for mountain bikes & fat tire bikes.



by:

I received the C18085-FB Fat Tire Bike Rack yesterday. It took me about 1/2 hour to assemble the pieces. The instructions could be a bit more clear, especially when it comes to the washers but I figured it out. It appears to be a quality product. I have not had the chance to try it out but eTrailer was very helpful in helping me on the purchase.
It came in 2 boxes because I ordered the Fat Tire mount which included for regular or mounting bike tire holders as well. You would pay an additional $50.00 or so to get the tire holders that are required for fat tire bikes. My tires width measures 4" wide. Another nice feature is it can support 1 1/4" or 2" hitches. It is harder to find a bike rack for fat tire bikes that would work with a 1 1/4" hitch. Most only support 2".



by:

a very bad very bad bike rack. would not have ordered this.

  • Is There A 4-Bike Platform Rack That Can Go On The Back Of A 5th Wheel.
    Hello Chris, thanks for reaching out. The only 5th wheel rated 4-bike racks we offer are hanging style racks. You may be able to use a hanging rack like the Yakima LongHaul RV Bike Rack # Y02476 with your bikes if you use an adapter bar # Y02531 for each one. This provides a secure attachment point for bikes with alternative frame styles. Aside from this, the only 5th wheel rated platform racks will be for 2 bikes only, such as the Hollywood Racks RV Rider # HLY64FR.

  • Which Hitch-Mounted 4 Bike Rack Is Recommended For Bikes With Fenders?
    I have a solution for you, but wheel-mount bike racks such as the Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack # NV22G-NA22G are not typically ideal for bikes with a fender or basket. This is because the hook that mounts around the tire could interfere with and cause damage to the fender or basket. That said, I attached a photo that a customer submitted, showing this rack being used with a bike that does have a front fender and basket. While the Kuat NV 2.0 could potentially work for you, I still recommend going...

  • What is the Maximum Tire Width that will Fit the Cradles of the Curt Platform Bike Rack C18087-FB
    The maximum width tire that will work with the Curt 4 Bike Platform Rack # C18087-FB is 4.88" inches. If you need a compatible hitch on your 2014 Ford Focus that works with the Trail Rider, the fitments depend on what kind of model of Focus you have. For different models, I recommend the following parts: - EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7237 (for Electric model) - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11158 (for hatchback - excluding XT and sedan models) - Curt Trailer Hitch...

The regular version, # C18087, accepts bike tires up to 3 inches wide. The Fat Bike version, # C18087-FB, accepts bike tires up to 4-7/8 inches wide. Other than that the bike racks are the same and function in the same way.

  • Can the Curt Platform Style Bike Rack for Fat Bikes C18087-FB be Locked to the Trailer Hitch
    There isn't a confirmed threaded hitch lock that works with the Curt bike rack # C18087-FB so what I recommend to secure it and the bikes to the hitch is a hitch lock # e98891. It is also possible to use a very small pad lock through the hole at the end of the threaded hitch pin if you wanted to.

  • Can I Carry a Beach Cruiser on a Curt Platform Bike Rack
    Yes you can carry your beach cruiser on the Curt 4 Bike Platform Bike Rack # C18087. The cradles adjust to fit different bike widths. I tested out the fat bike version of the rack # C18087-FB and used our fat bike with it. That bike measures 69-1/2" from front to rear tire and it fit just fine. The overall length doesn't change with the fat bike version just the width of the cradle to accommodate the wider tires. I attached a video I made of the fat bike version. You can see in the video...

  • Will Swagman XTC4 #S64650 Bike Rack Work With Spare Tire On A 2010 Jeep Wrangler
    I did contact Swagman on your behalf. They recommended referring to the below dimension versus the length of your Wrangler rear swinging door to determine clearance while mounted, folded down without bikes or the spare tire. -The clearance from the receiver bar hole to the first wheel hoop is 11.5" Due to the rise in the shank of the Swagman XTC4 4-Bike Rack for 2" Hitches # S64665, the ability to tilt the rack down would be essential for clearance and this does not provide that.

  • Recommended Fat Bike Beach Cruiser Bike Rack For 2009 BMW X3
    The Thule Apex 4 Bike Rack # TH9025XT and the Thule Helium Aero 3-Bike Rack # TH9043PRO are similar in many respects. They differ in the number of bikes they carry and the materials with which they are made. The Apex is steel and weighs about 44 lbs where the Helium is Aluminum and weighs about 23 lbs. These are both nice bike racks but they will limit you to 35 lbs per bike which is where your fat tire beach cruiser have issue as those bikes are normally heavier than that. If this...

  • Are There Wider Cradles Available for the RockyMounts WestSlope
    There are several bike racks available that re designed to fit the newer larger flat tire bikes there are no replacement saddles available to convert your RockyMounts WestSlope 3 Bike Rack part # RKY10223 over to use them. Something like the Curt 4 Bike Platform Rack for Fat Bikes part # C18087-FB which can accommodate a tire up to 4-7/8" in width.
