The VelociRAX 412 hitch-mounted vertical bike rack holds up to four bikes and has 30.5 cm (12-inch) spacing between tire baskets. This rack is ideal for small groups and can accommodate a range of bike builds, handlebar styles, and sizes. Load the VelociRAX 412 with your choice of bikes and let the rack do all the work so you can take bikes with you wherever you go. UV-tested rubber straps are included to quickly secure bikes in place while ONLY contacting the bike’s tires. A vertical hitch bike rack for four bikes is perfect for small families, spontaneous rides with friends, and road trips with a few other riders on board. If you are looking for a rack that is compact and can carry multiple bikes, look no further.Â
VelociRAX are patent pending with user-friendly features. There is no need to lift bikes onto this rack when using the roll-in and roll-out loading method, which means kids can load their bikes! Integrated hydraulic dampers assist fully loaded racks when lowering to the load position, so don’t worry about bikes crashing down when lowering this rack. All VelociRAX also come with a garage wall mount that can be used to store this rack with bikes when the rack is not on a vehicle.

** Note - Check factory OEM hitch receivers on newer Subaru CrossTrek and Outback and Ford Ranger as they may lack sufficient depth on the factory hitch receiver.
-RVs/Trailers:Â need to have a Class III 2-inch hitch receiver with a tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs at a minimum (bumper hitches, extension hitches, and hitches with cantilevered sections allow too much hitch movement and are inadequate). One item to check is if a ladder could possibly interfere with the rack. Trailers and RVs produce extreme forces on racks and bikes. Take extra care to strap tight and use rubber bands (or bike tubes cut in ~1 inch sections) placed on the brake levers to decrease natural motion between bike and rack and fully secure the VelociRAX's built-in anti-rattle system.
