This simple, affordable fork-mount bike rack bolts to almost any flat surface and provides a mounting point for 1 bike. The fork block works with bikes that have 15-mm, thru-axle skewers. Comes with drilling template - hardware not included.Cheap alternative compared to having to buy a 9mm thru axle mount for the utili-track in my Nissan Frontier AND THEN having to buy an adapter for that! For under $10 I bought some parts from a local hardware store and made this mount fit the track. It's sturdy, and high quality.
Disappointed. The Kuat Dirtbag works, and feels relatively solid once installed, but is about 2-3 mm shorter than my hub. That means while loading and unloading the fork doesn't sit nicely on the rack and inserting/removing the thru-axle can be quite challenging. I'd heard great things about Kuat's products, and all I can say is I'm glad this one isn't as overpriced as the rest of their lineup.

Product working as well as the first day. No problems after 1 year
This is perfect for custom applications. I used this mount on a piece of plywood that fits in the back of my SUV. Simple, basic, exactly what I was after.

Its been through a year of use, 4 times a week average, holding up great and performing like new. Total satisfaction!
Easy. I made the coolest rack ever. I didn't want to drop $300 and have the the bikes so high up on the roof. I came across these and enough said. best ever. My 1978 VW couldn't be cooler. All my Bus friends are jealous. They dropped the $300-ish, and now want my rack. My son and I bike throughout CO. too cool.
Thank you for the product and excellent service.

We still have the coolest VW bike rack!!
I use this in the back of my truck to hold my mountain bike. See attached photo. Works great. Paint starting to chip off around the screw holes. Not a big deal.
I used a few of these fork mount options to build a truck bed bike rack. They've been excellent and were easy to work with(also budget friendly.)
I found that the 100mm width worked well with some 3-d printed adapters I made to fit wider forks as well(that way I have more flexibility.)
Would highly recommend.
The bike rack was exactly as represented. We can now carry mountain bikes with the thru-axle setup easily and securely. The service was excellent and delivery was prompt. We need to buy a trailer hitch for another bike rack and will certainly use etrailer again.
The product was great. but the service was even greater! 2 days (and a 4th of July holiday) before transporting my expensive bikes in the bed of my truck, I realized my homemade rig wasn't going to cut it. Panic! I got online with etrailer and found a part I wanted at 7PM, but needed overnight delivery. Whew, I got the order in. But, oh wait - I get an email 10 minutes later that the part I asked for was backordered. Panic ^2. But the email from eTrailer said call us NOW and we have a possible solution. Yeah, right. So I call, and - they did! Talked to real humans and they set me up with a substitute part that did the job and I had it on my truck next day. Totally awesome. Real people rock. Thanks to eTrailer, I had my bikes with me in Idaho and Oregon and Washington where I had to play my music gigs. Love you guys, and thanks for being real people!
Works great. I have a F-250 with a tool box in the bed. My axle racks are mount on the tool box lid. Well make.
Rating - Excellent
Great product for the price. I bolted the mount to a 2x4 using carriage bolts. Using the rig to haul my mountain bike inside my 4Runner. Using friction tie-downs in combination with the fork mount. Solid.
I am using this as a base for an interior rack in my Jeep Renegade. This will be mounted to a 2x3 section of fiber board that will fit flat in the rear of the Renegade. The bike fork fits perfectly and this will be a great way to transport my bike safely and securely. The service from etrailer was great too with prompt order delivery and great packaging. I will use etrailer again in the future.
The DRT15 works great for my through axle mountain bike. I mounted it to a plank, along with my other fork mounting systems, and can easily get the fork on the unit and axle reinserted in no time. Solidly built and well engineered.
simple and effective, and does what it's supposed to; that's all anything should be. I screwed it to the front top of my truck bed using self tapping screws.
Perfect size. Ordered simular item from Amazon and the size was not correct. etrailer shipped the correct item on the first try. A sturdy way to transport thru-axel mountain bikes.
Product is great and will work and was a great price!
works, have buy mounting board bolts and etc. Had to add 5/8 washes to pace it out to 115mm fork. no options there.
Exactly what I needed. Price was great. This bike holder works great on my 29" mountain bike. Shipping was fast.
Product is sturdy and works well for bike transport in back on my van. Service was very fast. Certainly would use etrailer again when needed
This fork mount is the perfect way to anchor my bike in my truck! Works great!
Rack mounts are what I expected. Vince at etrailer was super helpful. I would order from them again!
Product works well, as advertised. Holds bike securely.

Yes I still like the product. It works well and is quality made. Thank you,
I originally ordered wrong hub size, my fault. A quick rerun and no issues. Mounted on a 2x4 and placed in the back of my Subaru Baja. Flawless!
The finish on it is perfect !!! After one year in sun rain and snow it look new !!! Hold very tight and sturdy !!! Will buy again for sure
Very well designed and quality construction extremely happy with it. Price was very reasonable and shipping was quick.
