Bike Racks – Transport Your Bike with Confidence
A quality bike rack makes it easy to bring your bike wherever your adventures take you. Whether you're looking for a roof-mounted rack to save space or a hitch-mounted option for convenience, choosing the right system depends on your vehicle, rack setup, and the number of bikes you need to carry.
What to Consider When Choosing a Bike Rack
1. Bike Rack Types
Roof mount racks – secure your bike upright by the front fork or with no frame contact on your vehicle's roof.
Platform racks (hitch mount) – easy-loading for maximum stability and frame protection.
Hanging racks (hitch mount) – suspend bikes from the frame to transport multiple bikes at once. Some fold, tilt or swing to allow access to the rear of your vehicle.
2. Vehicle Compatibility
Your vehicle’s hitch size (1.25" or 2") determines which hitch racks will fit. Roof-mounted racks require crossbars to attach to.
3. Number of Bikes & Bike Specs
Bike racks range from single-bike carriers to options that hold four or more bikes. Check the weight capacity of racks if you are transporting heavier bikes like e-bikes, and make sure the rack will accommodate wheel sizes. Some racks are fat-bike compatible and some are not.
5. Security
Some racks have integrated locks to secure both the rack to the vehicle and the bikes to the rack.
