Quickly load up bikes for the whole crew with the ReVert vertical rack. Tilts with the tap of a lever so you can roll your bikes' front wheels into the cradles. No lifting required! Automatically raises back up with a simple nudge.
Features:
Specs:
Note: Vertical bike racks put more strain on your hitch than platform or hanging styles. Because of this, the rack isnt compatible with Class III hitches that have a tongue weight rating under 500 lbs. Avoid using extenders or adapters, as they can further reduce your hitchs capacity.

Ordered for a friend. So far, they love it!
Useful rack, easy to tilt up and down.
I'm using a Hollywood rack valet to hold it when off the vehicle with a motorcycle cover.
We previously owned a Thule XTR 4-bike platform rack and thought it was the fastest to load and unload compared to other 4+ bike racks. This is from seeing other folks loading their bikes on trails. Not until we got Thule Revert, which is by far the easiest and fastest to load and unload. The assist is a game changer, even though it makes it hard to lower an empty rack to access the rear hatch. The angled stem helps avoid hitting rockes and clear uneven terrain on a lower clearance vehicle. The thick rubber bands are super fast to put on and off. The height is just right to simply roll bikes into baskets without lifting. Make sure to get a torque wrench and follow correct torque specifications.
I watched the e trailer video on assembly which made putting it together a breeze. The rack does all the things I was hoping for. It has all the little niceties dialed so raising, lowering, loading, and unloading my heavy eMTBs is no problem. A very well built rack!
This is the Rack to get if you want a verticals bike rack. There are several other racks on the market that have similar functionality. I would say what sets this apart is as follows.
1- packaging. Thule does the best Job packaging their items, I had recently purchased another vertical rack and it was slightly damaged because a large heavy metal rack can bang around if not packed correctly. This Rack had come packed very well and no damage to any items, as you would want it when purchasing a new item that is being shipped to you.
2- assist function both up and down. Other racks have assisted function down or none at all. This rack has assistance both ways and if you have 3 bikes on the rack, one pull on the lever and the rack pull it up for you.
3- ease of assembly. Assembly of this rack was probably one of the easiest things out there. Just watch the assembly video and you should be done with in an hour with absolutely no rush.
4- hitch stability. The rack comes with an adjustable hitch wedge built in and it makes a huge difference. No need for a hitch stabilizer to be bolted on. The attached hitch pin and adjustable wedge make this very solid and stable when transporting your bikes.
Lastly, honestly think about the cost in comparison to other racks. It may cost just a few hundred more, but the assurance that you have thousands of dollars of bikes on the rack that are safe is well worth it.
This is a fantastic rack. Look up on YouTube for other people comparing other racks like the Velocirack or JB Rack (I bought the JB one and it was a mistake, thin steel and not even close to as stable. Steel bent with assembly and flexed when transporting bikes). When I purchased the Thule revert the comparison to the other vertical rack was night and day. Expensive mistake but at least now you know.
solid rack at a good price. I bought this instead of a 4 bike platform rack to minimize the torque on my car. E trailers shipping was fast and free.
