**Built when ordered, allow 4-6 weeks for shipping.**

5-Bike vertical hanging bike rack

Supports all non-fat tire sizes – from 20 to 29+

This rack was built for durability.  100% stainless steel and aluminum construction, so it’s light where you want it and strong where you need it.

Foot-actuated tilt mechanism.  Tilting the rack out of the way of a tailgate or rear hatch can be done with one person, even when fully loaded.  Nervous about it auto-latching when up?  That’s why there’s two springs and two latch catches.

In the tilt-down position, it’s strong enough to sit on or use as a step to get into the bed.

Room for a spare tire.  Designed specifically to fit behind a Jeep’s spare tire.

Is there a bottle opener on it? We get asked this a lot.  The answer is No.  We don’t encourage glass bottles at trailheads.  It leads to broken glass and bottle caps left behind.  Bring it in a can instead.

Why stainless?

No rust.  Ever seen a 5 year old rack near the ocean? Powder coating doesn’t stick to edges well, so it tends to flake off and rust over time.

Durability.  304 Stainless doesn’t work harden like mild steel and aluminum do.  This means that it doesn’t crack after bending.  So if you back it into a rock and flex a hoop, you can usually bend it back as long as it didn’t crumple.

Why Aluminum?

Again, Corrosion resistance.

Weight to Strength.  We us a ¼” wall vertical tube for the rack, so it’s stronger and it still weighs less than our competitors thin wall mild steel.
