Mountain Bike Rack

[EvilBeans]

I don't know which Kuat rack you have but you may be able to get one of the Rack Add-Ons to add capacity without having to buy a whole new rack. I've considered getting one for my NV for when I ride with friends.

I also like the idea mentioned above of using a raised bed rack to expand bike capacity. Could haul a couple of bikes on that, add a gear basket for extra stuff and then still use the hitch bike rack.

Let me know on that tent if you don't mind. I've been looking at it as well

Here is my review after 2 races:

Consider using a trailer. A U-Haul 4x7 trailer is only $15 per day, has ample room for 4 bikes, and leaves the bed available for all the other stuff 4 riders will be needing.

probably not necessary.

with a hitch rack, I've hauled 4 bikes and then fit everyone's riding gear under the tonneau cover easily. I do recommend some kind of extension and/or hitch drop so that you can open the tailgate without contacting the hitch rack when it's not hauling bikes and folded down. I use a kuat hi/lo pro.

I vastly prefer a tailgate pad for convenience and you'll get better mpg with it than bikes on a hitch rack. however with a tailgate pad, the ability to stow all the riding gear and especially luggage if it's an overnight / multi-day trip is in question.

I bought a harbor freight hitch extender that works perfectly.

I kinda DIY'd a small trailer to haul bikes. I've towed this one several thousand miles behind the Harley. On the bike I can hardly tell it's back there.

I'm sure a Maverick would have no problem at all

Much more than kinda DIY'd, I say it's a work of art!

I don't even have a Harley and I'm jealous!
