Features to know about
Carry Bikes While You Tow: 3-Bike Capacity, 45 lbs Each
No need to leave the bikes at home just because you’re towing. The Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike Rack mounts directly to a 2" ball mount shank, letting you carry up to three bikes (45 lbs per bike) while still towing a trailer or camper. It only needs 1-1/2" of space on the shank and keeps the ball mount free for towing duties. Lightweight at just 13 lbs, it gives you 135 lbs of total carrying capacity without adding bulk to your setup.
Fast Clamp-On Setup: Quick-Release Handle and Locking T-Knob
Mounting the rack is simple. Drop the jaws over your ball mount shank, push down the hinged crossbar, and tighten the locking T-knob. When it’s time to remove it, loosen the knob and pull the quick-release handle—the rack lifts right off. The design keeps installation tool-free and quick. Safety straps with rubber-coated hooks loop to your hatch or tailgate to steady the rack without scratching paint.
Fold-Down Arms for Easy Storage
When you’re not hauling bikes, the dual arms fold down with tethered pull pins to make parking or garage storage easier. The 17-3/8" spacing between outer cradles gives bikes enough room while keeping the overall footprint compact once folded. You can leave the rack in place and still fit into tight spots.
Protects Frames and Cables: Rubber Cradles with Dual Straps
Soft rubber cradles and two straps per cradle secure bikes by the top tube without marring finishes. Each cradle slides and rotates on the support arms to fit different frame styles, and raised ridges keep brake and shifter cables from getting pinched. For step-through or kid’s bikes, an adapter bar (sold separately) creates a level mounting point so everything rides straight.
Optional Locking and Adapter Accessories
The rack includes a security cable (padlock sold separately) to help deter theft. The clamp itself can be locked with a coupler lock for extra peace of mind. For bikes without a straight top tube, simply add an adapter bar like part # 64005 or # UB01 to hang them level. The black powder-coated steel frame resists rust for long-term durability on every trip.

This is the best product online. I had to do a few adjustments to make room for the clamp on the trailer hitch. The particular ball hitch I had had a reinforcement welded to the ball which I had to have a piece taken off. Once it was filed down the clamp worked like a champ. Now I have a $200 bike rack that I purchased a year ago that is obsolete. The product arrived early and in good shape. I would definitely buy this bike rack and use this company again!

Great product that has served us well for over a year now mounted on a Draw-Tite 4285 draw bar with Curt A-90 ball, all purchased here. We can carry two bikes with this setup while pulling our small T@B travel trailer; not three due to limited clearance of our trailer's tongue jack, but that's all we need. It's fairly quick to setup & take down, though caution is required before releasing the tension when removing (I can mitigate the snapping together of the V supports by standing between the two horizontal support arms & keeping my own arms away from them). The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because I wish it was a few inches taller for better clearance between bikes & hitch coupler. It mounts very solidly though, and the sturdy rubber straps keep bikes secure. A hitch tightener can make it even more solid if the drawbar is loose. We've not had any problems after a dozen trips over the last year.

Needed a bike rack for our cross country RV trip last year for three bikes. I did not want to put anything on the car we were towing and the Curt clamp on bike rack fit our situation perfectly. The rack was easy to install and the bikes were safely carried 5956 miles over 25 days with no problems.

I bought this due to decent reviews. Shipping was rather quick, within 4 days of ordering. Loading all 3 bikes was very tight with two adult bikes and one child bike, but I made it work. As another person posted, the rack is pretty difficult to push down and secure. It takes a lot of force I don't think my wife could have done it. The first time when I tested installing, when I tried to release the rack, it released hard and hit my knuckles. The second time, the spring loaded pin broke (pictures attached) and, once again, my knuckles got hit. Caution really needs to be taken if you have this product. I am giving two stars for this due to the safety concern and the plastic handle breaking. I will be returning for a refund.

I am a 60 year old woman and I could handle installing and setting up this Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike Rack for 2" Ball Mounts! It worked really well and I did not hurt my hands installing it or removing it from the ball mount. I watched the etrailer.com video and that really helped too. This bike rack is solid and performed well when I test drove it around the neighborhood and over bumps. It stores in a compact fashion and I can see that I will be using this rack all the time to transport my bikes to the rail trail and when using my small pop up trailer too! It's perfect!

Initially, I was reluctant to clamp it on, as it did require a lot of pressure, but once on, I just slide the whole assembly on & off. I do have to remove one of the Giant bike's wheels to keep it from dragging, over bumps, but overall I have been happy with this product.

Strong build, very easy to put together, and disassemble for storage. The only downside is the metal loop is too short, so I use a strap to pull it up in order to not injure my hands. So far I drive 400 miles and the bike didn't even move.

I've had the Curt Clamp-On Bike Rack for about a year now and overall I am happy with it.
Plus Side
. The mechanism that secures the rack to the hitch works well and along with the two stabilizing straps (these attach to my truck's tailgate) makes for a secure platform for hauling bicycles around
. I've used it many times to haul 2 bikes without any issues
. The rack attaches and detaches to/from my truck very quickly
. I can now haul bikes and pull a trailer at the same time
. A very good value
Minus Side
. The 6 rubber cradles that secure the bike to the rack are too small for many large diameter mountain bike style top tubes
. Securing the rubber cradle straps to the rectangular nubs can be a bit difficult
. One of the cradle straps is beginning to wear out

One Year Later: A year ago, I gave the Curt Clamp-on Bike Rack 3 stars, after another year of extensive almost daily use, I would elevate that rating to 4 stars. While I still feel that the rubber cradles are harder to use than need be, they have worn better than it seemed they were going to, and I have learned how to attach the bike to them with less effort I am a slow learner. Overall it is a very good product and I would buy it again

This bike rack really is the most handy rack I've owned. It is extremely well made. My wife and I travel with a fifth wheel camper. I wanted something that I could use after getting to a campground, to load our bikes and travel to a trail head. And I wanted something I could remove easily after getting there, so someone would not steal it while we were riding. This rack hits the mark. I would recommend it to anyone wanting something handy, compact, and well constructed.

1. It is EXTREMELY difficult to put the rubber straps on the bike cradle.
2. When I tried to pull the rubber strap over the bike and wrestle it onto the nub the whole cradle rotated.
3. I like the concept but I have a cap on my truck so the handlebar rubs the cap window.
4. I’ll probably buy straps to hold the bike in the cradle.

Just want to say that this is my first bike rack and wasn't looking to spend a lot. I also wanted the hitch ball free so I can pull a trailer if I wanted to. Rack is a bit tight for 3 bikes but once you do it a few times you figure out the best way to get them on and it's pretty quick afterwards. Took it on my longest trip this weekend, a 5 hour drive and no issues. Pretty steady and got the job done. Thought the price was great. Storage is also great, I actually keep it in the trunk at all times.

It broke, (the tension handle snapped off) the first time I used it, which was 45-60 days after I purchased it. Nether Curt nor etrailer provided any warranty relief since it was 30 days post sale. It's in a landfill now, and I won't buy from either company again.

The Curt Clamp-On rack was the only option that worked for me, the Aliner (A-frame pop-up) camper, and SUV. It fits on the hitch and not the trailer frame. It makes a very secure attachment and the additional tie down straps stop any movement. You only have to lift the bike up to waist height to get it on the rack! Other racks required lifting the bike up to shoulder height and then extending out. Not a good position for those of us that lack upper body strength.
After using it for many camping trips last summer, I have to say that the website video was dead on. I have a very short ball mount on the SUV, not a long one like on the truck. The bike closest to the back hatch needs to have the handlebar padded or strapped so it won't hit the window. I have carried 2 bikes but that was a tight fit because I don't have much room between the back hatch and the propane tanks on the trailer.
This part isn't about the rack itself but is something to be aware of. With the rack and bike on, they interfere with the backup camera. I mostly hitch up by myself, so I have to use the camera to see the hitch ball and the trailer. It makes it a little awkward, but the rack and bike are the last things to go on, after backing up to hitch the trailer.
I'm glad the etrailer techs found a solution to my problem!

A frustrating experience.
I bought this bike rack hoping that it would be a really good fit for our needs.
We went on a road trip where we were going to camp as we went. Towing a small trailer I mounted the rack on the back of our Honda Element. I had trouble getting the bikes (two) to ride high enough off the road. On the first day of the trip I had to stop at a bike shop to replace a tire that had melted as it had been rubbing on the tailpipe along the way.
I also had a major challenge connecting the rubber straps because they were so stiff. Now, I am getting older and just don't have the strength I had in my younger days, but still I just think they are too stiff (I wasn't the only one that had trouble getting these things on...we finally got them on between me, my wife, and the bike tech). It ended up being a frustrating trip. We ended up not using the bikes due to the difficulty we had adjusting the rack. Sorry for a poor review. It is partially my own fault because I could have chosen a different rack in the first place.

The main reason that I purchased the C18013 bike carrier was that I had just also purchased the trailer hitch to mount it to. I was pleased with the quality and heavy gauge of the steel. It is very easy to mount the unit to the hitch bar. The clamp has a built in lock pin to insure it does not come loose. Be sure to use the trunk or hatch back straps to keep it from rocking left to right.
The only concern is the shipping box they use. Since the bike carrier is heavy gauge, it caused the box to split open a little. No real problem, since everything was still there. I'm very satisfied with the purchase.

This seems to be working for us but finding the right hitch/ball/extender combo has been a challenge. We have a 2017 Toyota Sienna and a popup. We need an extender because the hitch is too short to attach the bike rack. But the whole system just sits too low for our comfort. We will keep looking for that magic piece that does it all!

I purchased this along with a 16" hitch mount (#80232 ) to carry 3 bikes on the back of my truck while towing a camper. Installed fine (definitely requires some muscle to clamp it). But this mount slams together REALLY hard when removing it from the hitch, which bruised my hand very badly. (I'd recommend using a short 2x4 at a distance to release the tension bar to keep all your fingers). I saw other reviewers had this issue--it's serious and reason enough for me to return the product.
Also, the cradle straps are extremely difficult to secure. I watched etrailer's product video and I can't figure out how the guy was able to secure the straps so easily---that's definitely not the case. Also, I wish it held the bikes 6" higher to get the handlebars above my truck's tailgate, which would also create more distance from the trailer and prevent the handlebars from rubbing the tailgate. Even with the longer hitch I purchased, it didn't give me enough distance between the truck/trailer for 3 bikes for tight turns. Two bikes would be okay, but even so, my bikes didn't sit well on this mount, even with additional adapters. The bikes slide down at weird angles which places the wheels in the way of the hitch mount.
Overall, good in concept. Seemed secure and sturdy. But I couldn't use it for 3 bikes and would need adapters and better straps to make it work, and risk bad injury to my hand. Will be returning. I'd recommend finding it if you can find it a local store to test for yourself to avoid shipping costs.

etrailer's customer service was EXCELLENT. CURT company needs to get their act together. The rack itself is fine. The instructions are terrible. The "handle", which turned out to be unnecessary, broke on the second use and when my replacement hitch arrived, it came with a broken handle. Since the handle turned out to be unnecessary, I kept the hitch and like it very much.

Rack fits tightly on hitch with more than enough strap length to reach the sides of the rear door on a 09 Yukon. The rubber cradles grip the bikes well. The unit doesn't move or shake.
I will have to remove the front tires from the bikes to give enough clearance for the trailer to connect to the hitch but otherwise I believe it will work perfectly for a vacation trip towing the boat.

- How do I use a Bike Rack and Pull a Trailer at the same timeWe carry a very handy 2 inch ball mount for this exact application. The part is # D210. The ball mount slides and pins into your hitch and the top receiver will accept 2 inch bike racks and hold them above the ball. The Ball Mount has a 500 lb tongue weight capacity, which means that the bike rack and the bikes on it as well as the trailer tongue weight cannot weigh more than 500 lbs or the tongue weight capacity of the hitch, whichever is lower. We also have a bike rack that clamps around...

Towing racks can either mount on the shank of the ball mount, like racks # S64664 and # C18013 or they can be like yours, which uses a hitch ball as a "bolt" to secure the rack to the ball mount.

We actually have the Bike Bunk # CC-275 but it is limited to 100 pounds total weight. Otherwise what I recommend is to use # D210 which has a receiver and ball mount platform allowing you to tow the trailer and carrier a bike rack with bikes. We also have a towing bike rack, the Curt Clamp-On 3-bike rack # C18013 that you might be interested in. If you keep the bikes on the tow vehicle then...

There's plenty of clearance between the gussets of the shank and the hitch opening to install the Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike Rack # C18013 that you referenced as it only requires 1-1/2 inches.

- Carrying Bikes While Towing a Trailer with Propane Tanks Mounted on the FrontThis is the age old question since the dawn of towing bike racks. The only way to figure it out is to try it. It will likely reduce the turning radius of the trailer. And depending on where the tanks are, they could be the likely point of contact. You could avoid all of that by using the super sweet Bike Bunk Trailer mount bike carrier # CC-275. This carrier and a 2 inch receiver for a bike rack and the distance from top of A-frame trailer to top of cross tube is 33-1/2 inches. It will...

This adapter attaches to the bikes at the steering stem and seat post to give you a horizontal attachment point for the bike rack to attach to. This is a common problem that you have and this is the best solution for it. I attached a review video for the adapter for you to check out as well.

I looked up pictures of your Quicksilver camper and since there is a platform on the back of it that would prevent a hitch mounted solution from working easily, and since you don't want to go with a roof rack solution and the camper has a pole tongue one of the best solutions I can think of right now would be a towing bike rack like the Curt Clamp On 3 bike rack part # C18013 which attaches to a 2 inch hitch ball mount shank and would...

- Best Way to Carry 67 lb Flyer M880 E-Bike While Towing a Trailer with a 2015 Nissan TitanThanks for reaching out! The Thule Insta-Gater Pro # TH93VR is a great bike rack but like you said, the weight capacity is only 50 lbs so it won't be able to properly hold your 67 lb bike. While we do have a handful of other carriers that can be used in a truck bed, unfortunately they don't have much of a weight rating either so your best solution is a hitch mounted carrier that can handle that higher weight rating. The Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike Rack # C18013 will install on what you're doing...
view full answer... - Will the Bike Bunk Fit a 17 Foot Casita Travel TrailerThe Bike Bunk, # CC-275, will likely work but based on the pictures I looked up of the Casita Deluxe trailer it would be a tight fit. You might need to make a slight modification or two to the propane tank cover/rack, or move it forward some. Another option is to use a long ball mount, # BM20, with a towing bike rack # C18013. I have linked a video review of the bike rack for you.
view full answer... - Will The Brophy Ball Mount BM20 Work With Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike RackYes, The Brophy Ball Mount part # BM20 is ideal for the Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike Rack part # C18013. The Curt C18013 requires a 2 inch ball mount so this one is perfect and measures 15-3/4 inches Long so it provides a lot of clearance. Our extra long ball mounts only come in 2 inches but if you are asking about the 2 inch drop then we do carry the Curt Ball Mount part # D-28 that measures 14-1/4" Long with a 6 inch drop. If you need less drop than 6 inch we carry, 13 inch Long Curt ball mount...

Thank you for your review. It looks like you have a draw-tite ball mount with a high rise. I cannot tell exactly how many inches of a rise your ball mount has from the provided photo but manufacturers like draw-tite will weld a reinforcement on the underside of ball mounts with a lot of rise. We do not recommend to trim these pieces because it can affect the structural integrity of the ball mount. However, we do have options for ball mounts without the welded reinforcements that will allow the curt bike rack part # C18013 to clamp around them. Draw-tite part # 40332 provides a 5 inch rise and is rated up to 16k of towing weight. If you need more rise, Anderson ball mount part #A M3511 has a 9 inch rise but only allows for up to 8k in towing weight. Both of these ball mounts will work with this bike rack.
