Question:

In looking at info on your bike racks there is no mention of add-on products. Do any of your racks accommodate up to 4 bikes with an add-on?

We have several options for a rack that can be used as a 2 bike carrier or a 4 bike carrier with an add-on. A customer favorite is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 4, # HR1400Z. The second half of the rack pins into place for easy installation and removal when going from 2 to 4 bikes. It comes with an anti-rattle handle and its tilting design makes for easier bike loading and access to the rear cargo area. I have linked a video featuring this rack.

Another popular rack with add-on capability is the Thule T2 Pro XTR 4 Bike Platform Rack # TH69TX. This bike rack is designed for 2 inch trailer hitches and can be used as either a 2 bike or 4 bike platform rack. This rack has a capacity of 60 pounds per bike and the rack itself weights 96 pounds. It has wheels installed to help you move it around. You will see this in the video. It can also accommodate tires up to 5" wide.

The Kuat NV 2.0 4 Bike Rack # NV22G-NA22G is a platform-style rack and is made of rustproof aluminum for a durable, lightweight design. Its easy-to-use, spring-loaded lever lets you tilt the rack down for access to the rear of your vehicle or fold it up when not in use. I have linked a video featuring this rack as well.
