Note: Using this rack with a 1-1/4" hitch requires the use of the included support strap. Failure to use the support strap will void the rack's warranty.
Dual Folding Arms with Anti-Sway Cradles
This Curt rack has dual arms that provide excellent support for your bikes. They slope up to provide ground clearance for steep driveways and bumpy roads.
To fold the arms down, remove the tethered pull pin at the top of the mast. This leaves a smaller footprint, so you can keep the rack on your vehicle to park in your garage. And when stored in this configuration, it doesn't take up as much space in your garage.
Anti-sway cradles with rubber straps hold your bikes firmly in place. Each set of cradles has two straps that secure your bike along the top tube and one that secures the seat post or downtube. This multi-point contact helps keep your bikes from rocking back and forth, reducing bike-to-bike contact. The soft rubber cradles rotate around the rack's arms to accommodate bikes of different styles and shapes. They also have raised ridges that prevent your brake and shifter cables from getting pinched.
Tilts for Cargo Area Access
The rack tilts down without your bikes loaded. This means you won't have to remove the whole rack to access your cargo area for grocery runs and other errands.
To tilt the rack, remove the tethered pull pin at the base of the rack and lower the mast. When you're ready to go, raise the mast back up and re-insert the pin.
A threaded hitch pin is included to help eliminate rattle in the hitch receiver during transport. To tighten the pin in your hitch, use the included 3/4" wrench, or a 3/4" socket wrench (sold separately). A clip is also included to keep the pin in place.
You can install the rack in a 1-1/4" hitch or in a 2" hitch. To use it in a 1-1/4" hitch, simply remove the adapter with the included Allen key.
Bike Rack Support Strap
The included support strap anchors the rack to your vehicle. It reduces unwanted movement of the rack while you drive and helps take the load off your hitch. It's required for use with 1-1/4" (Class II only) hitches and recommended for 2" (Class III) hitches. The strap wraps around the top of the mast and hooks into the seam of your vehicle's trunk or rear window.
The welded rung on the back of the upright mast provides an anchor point for a cable lock (sold separately) to help deter theft of your bikes.
A hitch lock (sold separately) is also available to secure the rack to your vehicle.
If you have a women's bike, kid's bike, or any other bike without a straight, horizontal top tube, you will need an adapter bar (sold separately) to properly mount your bike. The bar fits between the seat post and handlebar stem post of your bike to create a top tube so your bike hangs level on the rack.
