Question:
Would this work well for 2 full suspension mountain bikes?
asked by: James R
Expert Reply:
The Kuat Beta 2 Bike Rack # B202-2 referenced in your question is a really nice hanging-style rack that will hold the bikes by their top tube. Depending on the style of your full suspension mountain bikes, you may just need to add an adapter bar # UB01 if the suspension components are directly beneath the top frame. This will be the case with any hanging-style rack. The adapter bar will provide an additional horizontal attachment point on the bike for the rack arms to grab on to.
The Kuat Beta features a weight capacity of 40 pounds per bike and is compatible with 2 inch hitch receivers. I recommend adding the Hitch Lock # HL2 to help secure your investments.
I have attached a couple short video demonstrations for the bike rack and adapter bar that you can also check out.
