Heavy bikes don’t have to be a struggle. The Kuat Transfer V2 carries a single bike up to 60 lbs, making it ideal for e-bikes, mountain builds, or any ride with extra gear. It fits wheelbases up to 50", supports tires up to 3.0" wide, and works with 18"–29" wheels. At just 26 lbs, it’s light enough to handle easily while still sturdy enough to stay locked in over long drives.
This rack grips your bike by the wheels, not the frame, so paint and carbon finishes stay untouched. The ratcheting front hook clamps the front wheel solidly, while the pivoting rear cradle adjusts automatically to fit different wheelbases and locks the tire down with a built-in strap. For fat tires, just add the optional strap extender kit. The U-shaped frame lets you stand closer for easier lifting and won’t block your backup camera when folded up.
Getting to your cargo shouldn’t mean unloading your bike. The Transfer V2’s foot pedal tilts the rack down even with your bike loaded, keeping both hands free to steady the weight. When you’re done, step on the same lever to fold the rack flat for compact storage. The design keeps everything smooth and steady, whether you’re grabbing gear or parking in tight spots.
A tamper-resistant ball cam tightens the rack inside the hitch to stop movement and noise on rough roads. It uses an 8-mm security wrench that’s specific to the Transfer, adding a layer of theft deterrence. The included 1/4" braided steel cable lock secures your bike directly to the rack, and you can add the optional Hitch Lock (HL1) for full rack security. The durable steel body with black powder coat stands up to the elements, keeping it looking clean season after season.

Donald, I am so glad you're okay! The Kuat Transfer V2 rack does have an adapter that should be used with a 2 inch hitch like what you have. I just wanted to make sure that you are using the adapter. I'm glad that the hitch receiver took the brunt of the impact for you. Please keep in mind that once a hitch receiver has been through a collision, it should be thoroughly checked by a mechanic for any damages. You will want to replace the hardware as well with item # RHK for your hitch part # DT42PR.

I am sorry to hear that it is not lining up properly. Inside the receiver hitch on the actual vehicle, do you notice any excessive rust or maybe some extra powder coat that may be interfering with the alignment?

I have been very pleased with the bike rack, no issues whatsoever. I particularly like that I can open the tailgate of the truck with a bike loaded on the rack and the rack tilted down.

Hey Valerie! I did double check with Kuat and it looks like there was a recall on the pivot pedal. Kuat is really awesome and always making sure people are able to get back to the fun stuff!

Hey Gasper. That sounds super frustrating. Would you be able to send me some pictures showing what's going on? I'd be happy to look into this for you.

It works fine. I would like it better if there was a ramp I could add to it for easier loading.

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.
