High-capacity vertical hitch rack for serious bike families
Last reviewed: March 2026
At a glance
Why this product
Five bikes with extended spacing and e-bike compatibility — the wider spacing prevents handlebar and pedal conflicts between bikes. At 95 lbs this is definitely a two-person install. Damper-assisted lowering, tilt-away, integrated locks. The frame-contact hanging design is not carbon-safe. Aluminum construction means it will not rust. I recommend this to bike clubs, large families, or shuttle services that need five-bike capacity with enough room between bikes to avoid damage.
