About Kuat Transfer V2 Hitch Bike Rack - 3 Bike Rack
Overall Feedback:
97% positive
95% felt their bikes were secure
The bike carrier is designed for long travels and provides added security with a security cord and internal locking mechanism that keeps the carrier intact with no wobbling. Straps are also added for extra security.
95% found the installation process straightforward, but 5% encountered difficulties
Installing the rack onto the hitch was easy and took around 20 minutes.
I found the assembly of the bike carrier straightforward and easy to put together.
I faced a difficult installation step because the front tire cradle insert was backwards and it took a lot of time to figure out what was wrong.
94% found it easy to load and unload their bikes
Once the rack is installed, it's easy for me to mount the bikes and only takes a couple of minutes to load or unload them.
I found the instructions and tools easy to understand and use. Each fastener is separately packaged in a long plastic wrap and they are arrayed in the exact order of assembly. I was able to unpack and assemble the rack in 30 minutes max.
I love the ease of loading my bike and accessing the trunk with or without it.
Initially, it was a little technical to install, but I find it easy to handle bikes with quick and fast loading and unloading.
96% liked the durable construction
The bike rack is heavy, but it is very durable and lasted on all the frost heaves of Alaska and Northern Canada.
The product is heavy but sturdy, indicating its durability.
95% were satisfied with the compatibility, but 5% faced issues
The rack fits my Crosstrek very well.
While installed on the RV, the bicycle's handlebars rub against it and it does not sit securely in the rear cradle, which is not ideal for long trips.
The product is not compatible with the 1-1/2 inch version and the pin hole is offset from the normal position.
93% appreciated the high capacity, but 7% found it insufficient
My bike wheelbase is 49" and the rear cradle is rated for 50" WB, so it doesn't sit securely.
I am pushing the limits of this rack with my bike that weighs just under 50lbs without the battery and has a wheelbase of 49.9 inches, which is the maximum limit of this rack.
