Rotating Arms with Ratcheting Hooks
The Transfer V2 has ratcheting hooks that grab your bikes firmly by the front wheel - not the frame. It's perfect for carrying carbon bikes or bikes with a custom paint job. To load a bike, simply place your front wheel in the cradle, rotate the arm up and over the wheel, and press down firmly on the ratcheting hook.
Front-Wheel Cradles with Adjustable Pitch
In its upright position the front cradles sit at the optimal position for holding normal-size bikes. However, you can adjust the cradles so that smaller bikes sit more toward the center of the rack or to prevent bikes from bumping into each other. To adjust the pitch, use the included Allen key to flip the bolt locator tabs upside down.
Pivoting Rear-Wheel Cradles
The rear wheel cradles accommodate a wide variety of bike wheelbases. They pivot front to back, adjusting automatically to each bike's wheelbase - no need for sliding and tightening. Secure the wheels in place with the built-in ratcheting strap. Strap extenders (sold separately) let you carry fat bikes.
U-Shape Frame
Most platform-style racks force you to reach out and over the rack to load your bikes or walk around to the back of the rack to access the bike closest to your vehicle. The U-shaped frame allows you to walk inside the rack and get close to your bikes to lift them. Also, it won't block your backup camera when it's folded up.
Foot Lever for Easy Tilting and Folding
The spring-loaded foot lever is easily accessible even with your bikes loaded. No more crawling through your bikes or squeezing between the rack and the vehicle to hit the tilt release lever.
The foot lever lets you tilt the rack down with bikes loaded for cargo area access. It leaves both hands free so that you can lower the rack in a controlled manner. When the rack is unloaded you can fold it up for storage.
Easy Installation
The rack is easy to install. Just slide the shank into your hitch and use the included 8-mm Allen wrench to tighten the flatlock cam. An anti-rattle wedge is deployed inside the shank to help take play out of the hitch connection.
Complete Security for Bikes and Rack
The Allen wrench has an indentation, so it can only be used with the Transfer. This helps keep the rack secure on your vehicle. You'll need to store it in a safe place because you'll need it when you want to remove the rack. You can also use a locking hitch pin (sold separately) for extra rack security.
The Transfer also includes a cable lock that secures your bikes to the rack. The 1/4" thick, braided steel cable threads through your bike's frames, and locks back into the rack.

This rack came very well packaged with easy instructions to follow. It took about 1 hour to put it together. It is a very high quality product. We have it on our Subaru Crosstrek and it doesn't interfere with opening the back hatch when the rack is in the down position. The bikes are a breeze to load and unload. I highly recommend this bike rack.
by: Michael02/25/2024
Quality product, great design, easy to use, no problem securing three mountain bikes. Would definitely recommend!
Also worth mentioning, I accidentally lost the security allen key that comes with the product and Kuat customer service sent me a replacement free of charge.
by: Marc08/05/2022
Received in a wel packaged box yesterday afternoon and quickly assembled following excellent step by step instructions. Rack to be mounted to my truck 2 inch hitch later this afternoon, then will size each of the three bikes on each platform. Want to thank e- trailer from order to delivery, great support. Next step based on excellent recommendation from Kyle S back on 18 Feb is to add a swing out capability with the Yakima back swing swing away hitch extender later this Fall, one step at a time. More to follow, Thanks!
by: Kenneth01/16/2024
Very quick and easy install, bikes are mounted easily. The design makes it a little difficult to get to the release and fold up when not in use, otherwise a great product. Would definitely recommend

I purchased the Kuat Transfer V2 after trying and returning the less expensive and frustrating Thule Apex XT 4 which would have needed the additional cross supports to properly transport the three hardtail mountain bikes we own. After about 40 minutes of assembly of the V2 with a good set of instructions, I was able to install the rack on the back of our vehicle quickly and get the bikes loaded in no time. Bike loading with the split mast design was easy and I was able to reach the foot pivot to lower the rack for access into the rear of the vehicle with the bikes loaded easily. The bikes sat in the support cradles securely and the handlebars did not interfere with each other. The rear tire ratchet straps were easy to secure and did not interfere with the wheel cradles while loading the bikes which I liked. The bike lock is easy to access and the cable secured to the rack easily. Overall I’m very pleased with the purchase and glad I sprung a bit more for a platform rack.

Driven over 3,000 miles with these. The product performs without flaws. I never think about me bikes anymore and used to have to get out and adjust them on the rack every hour.

It’s not possible to be happier, and more pleased with the product than I am with my Kuat bike racks. This rack will give you great versatility. We are a family of mountain bikers and when the kids come to town, I can put two bikes in the rear of a small SUV and four bikes on the carrier and drive two or three hours to a family favorite trail, and never worry that the bikes aren’t secure. Loading and unloading are simple, quick and easy. I wish every product I bought performed as well as this one.
by: Robert 12/16/2023
etrailer was prompt with shipping and the rack was as expected. Assembly was moderately challenging, the directions were somewhat less good than what IKEA provides. But all good in the end, it works just fine. Thanks!
by: Kenneth 03/13/2024
Easy to install on the car and excellent handling as we drive down the road. Easy to load and unload the bikes. Everything we could have expected and more.
by: Elmer03/30/2022
This bike rack was exactly what I wanted in a trailer bike rack: sturdiness, ease of use, and a rack that keeps each bike (3 on this rack) separate and secure.

After a year, the Kuat 3-bike carrier is still reliable and easy to use. I really enjoy the way the rack keeps the bikes from swinging or touching, thus preventing any impact damage.

Ordering from etrailer is always a great experience. From researching a product before purchase, asking questions to etrailer team before purchase. Ordering, tracking package delivery, to the install videos, and follow up by etrailer team. What a great process. The Kuat Transfer v2 3 bike rack is very solid and nice looking rack. Even fits a kids 16 inch wheel bike. Very pleased with this purchase.

Still love this rack after a year of use. Very sturdy. Love the walk through feature that makes it easier to put the front bikes on without having to stretch your back. Highly recommended.
by: Lucas 06/07/2023
Great bike rack. A year in and it has gone North to Vermont and South to Virginia. No complaints aside from its weight. In my mind the weight is necessary to be as secure as it is and hold the potential weight of multiple bikes, luckily I am fit enough to work with the weight. Otherwise it’s a great bike rack.
by: Bipal02/16/2021
Easy to put together and install on to the vehicle
Able to maneuver around and mount the bikes on it with no issues whatsoever.We are using it for 35inch tire electric bikes and they fit just fine. Haven't driven anywhere with it yet, so can't review that at the moment!
by: Boomer09/01/2022
This carrier is really well made. It's heavy and heavy duty. Handles our three mountain bikes with no trouble at all. Two things that could be improved, the hooks don't slide easily into place unless the thumb release is pressed. Maybe that's intentional, but it's annoying.
Secondly, the foot release is hard to reach with the bikes loaded. I've seen other brands that have a longer peddle which would be helpful.
One important thing to understand, there's an allen key included for locking the carrier into the hitch receiver. This needs to be tight in order to 1. keep the rack from wobbling side-to-side and 2. to keep the carrier from being removed (and stolen).
by: David03/30/2022
A little heavy and feels a little over built for the type of bikes we have but once is on and the bikes are loaded, this works like a dream!

Really love this hitch! Keeps our bikes safely secure. Works great for our simple hybrid bikes, would also work for larger mountain bikes. Love that you can tilt the bikes down. We cant fully open the back door of our 2012 Subaru Forester, but it opens enough to be able to access things in the back of the car.
by: Marty I10/05/2022
I've had good luck with this rack. I still think it's a little harder to put bikes on than the 1Up style racks, but it's been secure, the stability is good, it's nice to be able to carry three bikes, and it folds up nice.
by: Susan 09/10/2022
Customer service from etrailer and Kuat was excellent. Took me a little bit of time to put together, especially sliding the forks on (they are also a little squeaky a few months in). But for the price, I do think this was the best option for me. Getting bikes on/off is a breeze!
by: Joseph 08/17/2022
This is my second order from etrailer and they are top of the line professional. Everything from communication to prompt shipping. I received my order as described on time and in good working order.
The Kuat transfer 2 bike carrier is an excellent choice at this price point. Takes some easy assembly, works great. You can tell Kuat takes pride in their craftsmanship. Well made product. I’m looking forward to putting it to good use and hoping it holds up to its promising outlook
by: Jeff02/07/2022
Very solid rack; my only complaint is that the locking cable is too short when all three bike slots are in use. I had to buy a padlock and 4 ft extension cable to secure the bikes to the rack. Also does not come with a locking bolt, although there is a different type of locking nut which seems secure enough when properly tightened.
by: Joseph 05/19/2021
Excellent product. It requires some assembly but it's not hard. The rack is sturdy, doesn't flex or away. I extremely like the foot pedal design compare to others that requires messing with pins and nobs to fold up and down. The fact that the center is wide open makes it very easy to load the bikes up and easily manuverable when inserting the hitch as I can stand inside the rack close to the hitch.
All in all I am extremely happy with the purchase. Thanks Kaut for such a thoughtful product and etrailer for carrying it with a fair price.
by: Kesler05/13/2022
Great value for money. Lighter than many other options makes it much easier to take on an off. I added the 1 bike add on and it works well as a 4 bike rack

- Lightweight Platform Rack Recommendation for 2 Curt Hitch for 2016 Mazda CX-5For a lighter weight platform bike rack that is very durable and stable you can't beat the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 part # SH22G that you referenced as it comes it right at 32 lbs. Most bike racks that are similar in quality are over 45 lbs so this would definitely be your winner.
view full answer... - Hitch & Bike Rack Options For 2017 Subaru ImprezaI recommend getting the 2 inch hitch receiver # 306-X7350 for your 2017 Subaru Impreza. If you have dual exhaust then you'll have to go with a 1-1/4 inch hitch # 24960. If you go with the 2 inch hitch, I really like the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU24FR. It can hold 3 bikes and is good for almost any bike you throw at it as long as it's under 40 lbs. If you have to go with the 1-1/4 inch hitch, you should get the Swagman Trailhead 3. It's a great entry level bike rack and will get the job done....
view full answer... - 4 Bike Platform Rack Solution for Toyota Highlander that Allows Rear Cargo Access with Bikes LoadedI have a solution for you but none of the tilting platform bike racks would provide enough clearance for the rear hatch to open with bikes loaded and rack tilted down. Instead you would want to go with a pivoting bike rack solution like the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU77FR with the pivoting adapter part # PVP20B. This adapter would allow the rack to swing out completely from the rear of the vehicle to give you totally unrestricted access to rear cargo area.
view full answer... - Could Kuat Transfer 3 Bike Rack Allow Tailgate of 2015 Toyota Tundra to Fold DownOn the Kuat Transfer 3 bike rack part # KU24FR the tallest portion of it would be 10-1/2 inches above the top of your hitch opening so you can measure to see if it would allow the tailgate to fold down or not. Due to the much taller wheel cradles of the MonoRail bike racks I do not believe this would allow the clearance you are looking for.
view full answer... - Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Subaru Forester Carrying Carbon Frame BikeTo carry a 3-4 bike rack on your 2016 Subaru Forester will require you to have a Class III hitch like the Draw Tite part # 75876 installed. Since you have a carbon fiber bike you basically have to go with a platform bike rack that only touches the tires so that the rack does not touch the frame. Now platform bike racks in general are just heavy but the Freedom SuperClamp part # SA4026F isn't quite as heavy as some of the others. It weighs in at 63 lbs which isn't lightweight by any means,...
view full answer... - Recommended 3-Bike Rack for Subaru Crosstrek with 2 Inch EcoHitch ReceiverA platform style 3-bike option that I like is the Kuat Transfer # KU24FR. This rack will have ratcheting hooks that hold your bikes by the wheels with no frame contact. A foot pedal lets you tilt rack with bikes loaded for cargo area access and fold it up for storage. I attached a Help Article to show you how to determine the bumper clearance on your Crosstrek to ensure compatibility.

view full answer... - Can Kuat Transfer Bike Rack Carry Trek Wahoo 24 BikeThe Kuat Transfer 3 Bike Platform Rack # KU24FR would do a great job carrying your son's Trek Wahoo 24 bike, but another simpler solution might be to use a bike frame adapter like part # UB01 with your current hanging bike rack. This adapter connects to the seat post and the steering stem to provide a horizontal attachment for the bike rack to attach to. I attached a picture and a review video for how this works as well.

- Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2017 Volvo XC60There is a solution for you to haul three bikes with your 2017 Volvo XC60, but there are no trunk-mounted three-bike carriers that will fit. I recommend using a hitch-mounted rack, which you can do by first installing a hitch such as the Draw-Tite # 75671, which is a Class III hitch that is a confirmed fit for your Volvo. I've added a link to a video showing this hitch being installed for you to take a look at. With a hitch installed, the three-bike rack I recommend is the Kuat Transfer...
view full answer... - What Rack do You Recommend for Transporting 3 Bikes on a 2013 Honda CR-V?I have a great solution for you. Since the tongue capacity of your 2013 Honda CR-V is 150 pounds, the only way for the Kuat Transfer 2 # KU24FR is if your friends' bikes weigh no more than 30 pounds for one and 29 pounds for the other (which is extremely light for adult bikes). Also, the Thule Helium Pro 3 # TH9043PRO and the Camber 4 # TH9056 will not work because those racks only have a maximum per-bike weight capacity of 37.5 pounds. A great solution is the SportRack Pathway Deluxe...
view full answer... - 2014 Toyota Prius c Compatibility with the Kuat Transfer V2 3-Bike RackAs long as you have a 2" hitch receiver on your 2014 Toyota Prius c, like the EcoHitch # 306-X7194, you'll be just fine using the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # KU24FR. The other hitches for your Prius c are rated for a Class I application so I would only stick with this in the 3-bike configuration and avoid using the add-on to convert this into the 4-bike carrier. Attached are review videos for both the EcoHitch and the Transfer V2 bike rack.
view full answer... - Is There a Minimum Wheelbase for Kids Bikes for Kuat Transfer 3 Bike Platform RackThe Kuat Transfer 3 Bike Platform Rack part # KU24FR will work just fine with kids bikes so long as they have a wheel size of 18" at a minimum. That said, Kuat does not provide a minimum wheelbase. If you have at least 20" diameter wheels then wheelbase won't be an issue.
view full answer... - Best Trailer Hitch & Roof Racks for a 2014 Ford TaurusThe trailer hitch that I recommend going with for your 2014 Ford Taurus is the Curt # C13379 which is a Class III hitch that has a 2" receiver. You'll be able to use a wider variety of hitch accessories with a Class III receiver. I like the brackets and thicker powder coat on this Curt over what comes on the Draw-Tite which is why I recommend the Curt. If you don't already have a bike rack then I highly recommend the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU24FR which can carry up to 3 bikes and has a U-Shaped...

So smaller vehicles typically have 1-1/4 inch hitches, mid size vehicles typically have 2 inch hitches, and heavier duty trucks will have 2-1/2 or sometimes 3 inch hitches. Some people like smaller hitches as they are somewhat less visible, but most prefer 2 inch hitches as they have the most accessories made for them and have great weight capacities.

- Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon for Carrying 3 Bike RackYes, if a 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon had a 2 inch hitch installed on it like the Draw Tite part # 76227 you could easily carry the Kuat Transfer V2 bike rack # KU24FR. I recommend the # 76227 for this vehicle because it gives you a 2 inch hitch like you'd need to carry more than 2 bikes and because only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper which gives it more of a concealed look. I attached a picture of this hitch installed on a 2019 Subaru Outback just like yours as well as a...

- Hitch and Swing-Away Type Hitch Bike Carrier for 2008 Kia SorentoWe can help you with a hitch for your 2008 Kia Sorento and a compatible bike rack.

The written instructions, a helpful article and an installation video are linked to help you. In this 2-inch Class III hitch you can use a 2-inch bike rack. I linked our main page for all 2-inch hitch racks. These include hanging style racks like the great-value...
view full answer... - Will the Kuat Transfer 3 Fit in a 1-1/4 Hitch ReceiverThe Kuat Transfer 3 Bike Rack # KU24FR cannot be used on 1-1/4" hitches and only comes equipped to be carried on a 2" receiver. If you need to carry 3 bikes on a vehicle with a 1-1/4" hitch there are not platform racks available for this but you can use the Swagman Trailhead # S63365 to carry 3 bikes and it will fit in a 1-1/4" hitch.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations to Carry 3 Bikes with a 2021 Mazda CX-30You are correct that a trailer hitch is the best option for carrying 3 bikes with your 2021 Mazda CX-30. The trailer hitch that you need is the EcoHitch # EH55VR because the other options are Class I rated and those are only strong enough to carry 2 bikes. I have attached an installation video and a photo of this hitch on a 2020 CX-30 that you can use as a reference. If you don't already have a bike rack then I also recommend checking out the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # KU24FR...

- Would the Kuat Transfer 3 Bike Rack Fit a 2008 Nissan Quest with 2 inch HitchYes, the Kuat Transfer bike rack part # KU24FR would fit and work well on a 2 inch hitch like the # C13563 installed on your 2008 Nissan Quest minivan. You still might take one measurement to be absolutely certain. You will want to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the furthest point out on the rear bumper. As long as that distance is less than 6 inches this rack would fit and clear. From the install pics I have seen of this hitch on your vehicle there should be no problem,...
view full answer... - Weight Capacity of Kuat Transfer V2 3-Bike RackNo, the 40 lb per-bike capacity of the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # KU24FR means you have to stay at 40 lbs per bike. It does not have a 120 lb total weight capacity, only a per-bike capacity. If you wanted to put two 60 lb bikes on a 3-bike rack, you would need the Saris MHS Modular Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # SAR35MR.
view full answer... - Lightweight 3-Bike Platform Rack Recommendation for 2009 Honda CR-VIf anything a non-supported load like a bike rack would be more stressful than the tongue weight of a trailer so you'd not be able to exceed the 150 lb tongue weight rating of your 2009 Honda CR-V with the weight of a bike rack. You'll need to look into a lighter weight bike rack so that you can stay under the capacities. The best option for that is the Kuat Transfer 3 part # KU24FR. This weighs 51 lbs, is a 3-bike rack, is a platform bike rack, and only touches the bikes at the tires...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack to Transport 3 Bikes on 2018 Honda CR-VClass I trailer hitches are only able to carry at most 2 bikes when using a hitch-mounted rack. The good news, though, is that there are indeed a couple Class III hitches available that are confirmed to fit your 2018 Honda CR-V. I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Round Tube Receiver Hitch # 76128. This Class III hitch is custom-fit for your CR-V, which means it will use existing holes in the vehicle's frame for a no-drill installation. The 2 inch hitch receiver that...

Class I hitches are only able to use 2 bike racks. This is because of their design and how they support the weight. There is not a 2 inch hitch available for this car. This leaves you with two options, use a two bike hitch rack and then a specialized roof rack for the third bike, or use a three bike trunk rack instead of a hitch rack. Between the two, I'd recommend going with...

With that being said it's not going to be a particularly enjoyable experience.
