Featuring a sturdy tray-style design, this rack offers an intuitive and easy way to load your bikes while keeping them safe on the road.

Built with a durable black powder coat finish and backed by Curt’s limited lifetime warranty, this bike rack is designed to be your reliable companion for years to come.

Technology and Construction

The Curt Tray-Style Hitch-Mounted Bike Rack is constructed with high-quality materials to provide maximum security and convenience. The tray-style cradles are designed to hold your bikes at three points of contact—two on the tires and one on the frame—ensuring each bike stays securely in place over any terrain. The rack features ratcheting arms that lock down onto the bike frames without loosening during travel, giving you peace of mind knowing that your bikes are secure.

This rack comes with an adapter sleeve, allowing it to be mounted on either a 1-1/4" or 2" receiver tube, making it highly versatile. With a maximum weight capacity of 90 lbs., the Curt Tray-Style Hitch-Mounted Bike Rack is suitable for most bike types, from adult road bikes to kids' mountain bikes. The padded ratcheting arms and adjustable cradles protect the bike frames from scratches and nicks, ensuring your bikes arrive at your destination in pristine condition.

The tray-style design also allows for easy loading and unloading of bikes—simply place the bike tires into the cradles and lower the vertical ratcheting arm onto the frame crossbar. For additional protection, the ratcheting arms are key-operated, deterring theft while your vehicle is unattended. The rack also features a threaded anti-wobble shank that minimizes movement and sway during travel, providing a noise-free experience. When not in use, the sides of the rack fold up for compact storage, allowing you to easily store it without taking up too much space.

Installation

Installing the Curt Tray-Style Hitch-Mounted Bike Rack is a breeze. The rack easily mounts to your vehicle's trailer hitch receiver using the included adapter sleeve, fitting both 1-1/4" and 2" receiver tubes. The use of a support strap is required when mounting on a 1-1/4" receiver tube to ensure added stability. The threaded anti-wobble shank keeps the rack tightly secured in the receiver, eliminating annoying rattles during transit. The tilting feature is particularly useful, allowing the rack to tilt away from the vehicle to provide convenient access to the rear cargo area without needing to unload the bikes. This bike rack is not suitable for installation on trailers or other towed vehicles.
