Premium 3-bike platform rack with hydraulic assist, no frame contact.

Why this product
When you need to carry three bikes on a premium platform, the options narrow fast. Hydraulic assist helps manage the 89 lb rack weight, and the 67 lb per-bike capacity handles e-bikes. Carbon-frame-safe with integrated bike locks. The trade-offs at this size are no tilt-away and no fold-flat — at three bikes wide, those features become engineering challenges. If your family rides three bikes, this saves you from needing a second rack or leaving someone behind.
