Hey Dawson, thanks for reaching out!

The Benton Shifts&Grins Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # B82FR weighs in at 114 lbs which is pretty average for a 4-bike platform rack.

The nice thing is that the 2-Bike Add-On # B34FR can be removed pretty easily so you're eliminating 50 lbs, which means you're only left with 64 lbs for the standard rack # B54FR.

I've had a chance to do this myself and can say that removing the 2-bike add-on is a lot more simple than other 4-bike racks on the market since it's as simple as removing a pin, loosening the tightening knob, and maneuvering the extension off the rack.
