Before purchasing or using a bike rack, it is important to consider the tongue weight rating of your particular vehicle hitch. Tongue weight rating can be found in the vehicle owner’s manual or printed on the hitch. Tongue weight is the static downward force that the hitch receiver can safely handle while hauling. Exceeding the listed tongue weight rating can result in a slow degradation of the rack or a sudden catastrophic failure where the entire rack and loaded bike(s) fall off onto the road.
When thinking about the weight of your load, of course you’ll consider the weight of the bike(s) you want to haul; but, don’t forget to also add in the weight of the QuikrStuff products you are attaching to your vehicle (rack, add-on, ramp).
QuikrStuff Product Weights
Mach2 2″ bike rack – 30.7 pounds
Mach2 1.25″ bike rack – currently undergoing a revision; will post the new weight soon
Each add-on – 22.7 pounds
Ramp – 12 pounds
Example: Your vehicle has a listed tongue weight of 200 pounds. You want to carry two bikes that weigh 60 pounds each. The bike rack and add-on together weigh 53.4 pounds. This is a total weight of 173.4 pounds, so it would be safe to haul your bikes with our system.
Using an extension, adapter, or swing away arm interferes with the standard formula above, making it nearly impossible to determine the allowable weight capacity. That is why we state in our warranty policy that the use of these and other third-party products will void the warranty on our products.
