Will Kuat Transfer 2 Bike Rack Work on 212 VW Eos With Curt Trailer Hitch
Question:
IS there enough clearance using the Transfer 2 on the Eos with the Curt C11090?
asked by: Fred
Expert Reply:
We have not had a chance to test the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C11090 with the # KU74FR on a 2012 VW Eos so I can't tell you definitively if the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Platform Rack # KU74FR will have enough clearance.
Based on the accompanying photo showing this hitch installed on an Eos it looks like it should, but the issue with the Transfer is that it is only 6 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack.
While the Transfer may work there is another option with more clearance that work with a Class I hitch I recommend checking out, the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider 2-Bike Platform Rack # HR200Z.
The Trail Rider measures 12-1/8" to the closest part of the rack when folded.
I have added links to video reviews for you to check out as well.
