Looks like a nice rack and about 1/2 the weight of my older rack
First, I had a problem trying to build this. I could not get one of the long bolts to thread. I tried it outside of the rack and still no luck. I called Kuat and they were very cheerful and said they would send the end piece and 2 new bolts. About 24 hours later the new parts arrived and they immediately threaded and that is about 90% of the battle building the rack.Their customer service was INCREDIBLE.I had a bit of a time getting the tilt feature handle on correctly. But it works fine. I basically mounted the rack on the car to make better sense of the figure in the instructions and in the video Kuat provides on line.When you get the box, do not unload the parts as the box and how it is packaged facilitates putting the two main bolts in easily.One of the hex wrenches is also the hitch pin. Clever.It works well and I loaded two bikes on it. But the tilt away feature is tops! I can open my lift gate!

If you're in the market for a top-notch bike rack that combines ease of assembly with outstanding performance, look no further. From start to finish, every aspect of this rack exudes quality. The packaging was superb, ensuring both the rack and its components arrived in perfect condition. Assembly was a breeze thanks to clear instructions and included tools, taking me just twenty minutes to complete.

Once installed on my vehicle, the rack proved to be rock solid with no hint of movement or wobble. Loading bikes onto the rack was a cinch, thanks to the two secure latching mechanisms that held them firmly in place. The attention to detail in the fit and finish is truly remarkable – it not only functions flawlessly but also adds a sleek look to my vehicle.

Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase and wholeheartedly recommend this two-bike rack to anyone in need of a reliable and high-quality solution

If you're invested in mountain biking, this is a great investment.

Rack holds two bikes each up to 50 Lbs recommended. Many bikes today won't weigh 50 lbs unless they're cheaper materials or an Ebike. If you have Ebikes, I recommend getting a heavier duty rack if the weight is close or over 50 lbs each.

This rack is light, and just does its job. It's very easy to unlock the hatch and pull the rack out and throwing it in the back of the vehicle if necessary for car washes, auto work, or maybe you're traveling and prefer to keep it safely put up when not in use.

It seems pretty sturdy and well made, however the plastic parts do feel flimsy for the price on the wheel attachments. However, I have not had an issue after a months use with them.

It's very easy to put bikes on and take them off. The adjustable position of the rack is very useful and seen in my photos. Helpful Hint: When attempting to lower the rack with bikes on, give the rack a little lift before pulling lever. I've noticed some friends struggle with the lever when attempting to lower it, but a slight lift remedies this. The lever should ALWAYS be easy to push. You're doing it wrong if it's not.

Bikes have plenty of clearance between eachother. Bikes included in pictures are a red Medium Trance Advanced Pro 27s, The Medium Metallic Blue Talon 27s, and a large grey stance 29s.

I highly suggest watching a couple videos on building it. It is very easy to do yourself and tools are provided, however do NOT tighten bolts before lining the entire rack up. The holes DO line up, but thats without tightening it down first. If you tighten it all down before finishing assembly, your bolts will not line up with holes. If you leave it loose, it is very easy to line up all bolts. Assembly did not take long. Did it alone and had it on my vehicle in less than an hour easy.

I'm very satisfied with the rack. I love how light and easy it is to adjust, yet quite sturdy and reliable feeling. The hitch tighten feature is very nice, but it does leave the rack tilted slightly which might agitate the OCD. The rack and bikes move very little. The bike lock that comes with it is a nice touch, but in reality most bike locks will only deter small time criminals. A professional thief will be able to remove most locks within minutes including this one. You'll have to invest in a heavy duty one if you prefer to leave the bikes locked out of view, which personally I would never do. If traveling and making frequent gas station stops etc, the lock is useful for a little added security while you run in.

Overall, a worthy investment if you're invested in Mountain Biking. Im well invested in multiple bikes and I have full confidence in this rack with my bikes. Definitely recommend if you're on the fence. Your bikes deserve this rack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read the review and installation tips from "Dan S" !
Reviewed in Canada on June 6, 2022
Size: 2"Color: Gray Metallic/Orange AnodizeVerified Purchase
I love this rack! Rock solid, easy to load, and the ability to tilt it outwards when loading is super helpful. No swaying and dancing of bikes while travelling. Being able to lock the rack to the vehicle, and also lock the bikes to the rack means peace of mind, both in town, and when parked in the middle of nowhere.

I also can't say enough good things about the customer service of mes amis at La Boutique du Lac! Purolator delivered my rack - but not to my house! After driving around, looking for the front door in the picture Purolator sent to document "delivery", I was able to convince the homeowner I wasn't a porch pirate, and retrieved my package. There is _nothing_ on the Purolator web or customer contact information to bail you out from a mis-delivered package - unreal. La Boutique du Lac followed up on my email right away, and I hope they'll convince Purolator to step up their customer service to a similar level of excellence.

I mounted the rack on my Chev Colorado, and when laid flat, there's at least two or three inches clearance below the open tailgate. Assembly was fairly straightforward - with the excellent pointers from Dan S: don't completely tighten the two long bolts holding the trays onto the base of the rack until _after_ you've installed and lightly tightened the third bolt - the "rear tray holder" bolt. Dan's tip to use a rubber band to keep the hitch pin quiet was the icing on the cake. He left a great review - just search for "Before you buy" - and read closely.

Also, the manual should note that - before you try to install your brand new rack into the hitch receiver - you need to loosen the cam that stabilizes the whole assembly. The instructions tell you to tighten the hitch cam after you've installed the hitch pin, but at least in my case, it was shipped already tightened. If you don't back it off, the large ball bearing on the leading end of the hitch assembly will bind, and you won't be able to slide it into the receiver. That had me swearing softly until I figured it out.

Lastly, in the likely event that you don't already own a torque wrench - and an 8mm hex bit socket - you'd best go out and buy at least a basic torque wrench while you're eagerly waiting for your rack to arrive! I have no idea how you'd know when you're at 15 ft-lb otherwise. There's a fair bit of slack, somewhere between 10 ft-lb and 15 ft-lb, so you'll either stop short of the proper torque, or blow well past it.

I needed to re-torque just a tad after my first couple of trips, and am now very much forward to a summer of bike shuttles while paddling. Thank you to La Boutique du Lac, and Kuat.

Purchased from Rack Attack, their service was second to none. Prompt shipping and was very responsive in sending a replacement unit when the first one was lost in the sea of shipments due to the pandemic.

As for the rack itself, it's a fine piece of engineering. Takes a few minutes to put together, the box is designed to help you put it together. Holds the bike really well, very happy with the purchase!
