Can the Kuat Transfer 2 Bike Platform Rack Be Used on Bikes with Fenders
Question:
Can the Transfer 2 carry a bike with fenders?
asked by: David
Expert Reply:
The Kuat Transfer 2 Bike Platform Rack part # KU74FR which you referenced is a wheel mount bike rack and will not work, at least well, with bikes that have fenders. If your bikes do have fenders then you will want to use a frame mount bike rack like the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack part # TH92BJ which is an excellent alternative to the Transfer 2.
The Doubletrack is fairly lightweight at around 35 lbs compared to the 47 lbs of the Transfer 2, has adjustable wheel cradles for bikes with varying wheelbases, and comes with locks for security. If you would like to learn more about this bike rack then I have attached a review video for you which further explains its features and shows how it will perform.
