Distance Between Arms of Curt 4-Bike Rack 18064

Question:

Bike Racks - C18064 Hi, As per specs, the distance between arms outside to outside at cradles: Wide end: 14 Narrow end: 8 But in the description it states that The arms are 16 inch apart near the mast for carrying moms and dads bikes. The spacing between the arms then narrows to 10 inch at the end of the rack, making it easier to carry the kids bikes. Those are probably for C18065? Can you please confirm as the latter specs will not work for me for 3 X 24 inch bikes Thanks and regards

I can confirm for you that the distance between the arms of the Curt Premium 4-Bike Rack # C18064 is 14 inches at the wide end and 8 inches at the narrow end.

You can also see this at roughly the 2:10 mark of the linked video review I added for you to check out. Keep in mind if you do plan on carrying any children's or alternative-frame bikes (with a step-through frame, for example) you will need Curt Bike Frame Adapter Bar # C18016 to give those bikes a horizontal mounting point.

Additionally I do recommend adding the Curt Adjustable Cable Lock # C23666 to help secure your bikes to the rack and protect your investments. I have added links to video reviews of the adapter bar and lock for you to take a look at.
