The VelociRAX 5 is a bike rack for hitches that holds up to five bikes and has 25.4 cm (10-inch) spacing between tire baskets. This rack size fits perfectly behind SUVs and can comfortably transport several bikes without exceeding the body of an SUV size car. This rack takes the stress out of loading a group of bikes, and kids can load bikes too! You can't beat a five-bike hitch rack the whole family can load that also leaves room to access the back of the car. Let your bike rack do the work so you can enjoy the ride! 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 end if desired.

** Note - Check factory OEM hitch receivers on newer Subaru CrossTrek and Outback and Ford Ranger as they may lack sufficient depth on the factory hitch receiver.

-RVs/Trailers: need to have a Class III 2-inch hitch receiver with a tongue weight capacity of 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 ~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.
