Iconic arc-based trunk rack — simple, recyclable, made in USA
Last reviewed: March 2026
At a glance
Why this product
The iconic trunk rack — no hitch required, 11 lbs, carries three bikes with ratcheting straps. Made in USA, recyclable materials. At 35 lbs per bike, it handles standard lightweight bikes only. The trade-offs are frame contact (not carbon-safe), no locks, and the strap attachment that can scratch paint if you are not careful. I sold hundreds of these as starter racks. If you do not have a hitch and want to start carrying bikes this weekend, this is the most proven trunk rack on the market.
