The VelociRAX 6 bike rack for hitches can carry up to 6 bikes and has 254mm (10 inch) spacing between tire baskets. This rack makes road trips with friends and family even better. Using a vertical bike rack for 6 bikes is a game changer whether you're looking to take bikes around locally or explore terrain hours away. UV-tested rubber straps are included to quickly secure bikes in place while ONLY contacting the bike’s tires. When heading out on a bike trip, be confident in how you pack your bikes so you don't have to miss a moment of your trip stressing about bike logistics. If you're looking to get out and ride with others, consider this 6-bike car rack that has room for the whole gang. Getting a rack that has an extra basket carrier that is also great for spontaneous tagalongs!
VelociRAX are patent pending with user-friendly features. There is no need to lift bikes onto this rack when using the roll-in and roll-out loading method, which means kids can load their bikes! Integrated hydraulic dampers assist fully loaded racks when lowering to the load position, so don’t worry about bikes crashing down when lowering this rack. All VelociRAX also come with a garage wall mount that can be used to store this rack with bikes when the rack is not on a vehicle.
You can fully load this rack with flat handlebar bikes (like mountain bikes), but a drop handlebar bike (like a road bike) can fit on the far right end if desired or in every other slot while skipping in between.

- RVs/Trailers: you will need to have a Class III 50mm (2 inch) hitch receiver (tow bar) with a tongue weight capacity of 227 kg (500 lbs) at a minimum (bumper hitches, extension hitches, and hitches with cantilevered sections allow too much hitch movement and are inadequate). One item to check is if a ladder could possibly interfere with the rack. Trailers and RVs produce extreme forces on racks and bikes. Take extra care to strap tight and use rubber bands (or bike tubes cut in ~ 25mm (1 inch sections)) placed on the brake levers to decrease natural motion between bike and rack and fully secure the VelociRAX's built-in anti-rattle system.
