Does the Weight Capacity of the Trailer Mounted Bike Bunk Carrier Include the Bike Carrier

Question:

For the bike bunk, is that 100lbs total including the bike rack attachment itself? In other words the actual rack you attach to the 2inch receiver of the bike bunk...is that included in the 100lbs or is it 100lbs of bikes? Thanks

The weight capacity of the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Carrier, # CC-275, is 100lbs total. It applies to the bike rack and the bikes that you will be carrying. I typically recommend using a lightweight bike rack like the Kuat Beta, # B202-2, if you will be carrying heavier bikes like mountain bikes or cruiser style bikes. It would be difficult for the manufacturer to account for the weight of the bike rack because there are so many different sizes and styles of bike racks on the market.

As long as you stay under 100lbs total, you will not have any problems. I have attached the installation instructions and an installation video of the bike bunk for you to check out.
