Bring All The Bikes

I don't have kids, I just want to bring multiple bikes on trips and this add-on lets me do it. Easy install, high quality, and overall great design.

Avg. ride time: 4m per week

Very versatile setup

This extension to the T2 Pro is fantastic! (see my other review on the base product product page) It only took a few extra minutes to add the extension to the base two-bike product. It was challenging enough that I probably won't be swapping it back and forth from the two- to four-bike configuration, but it is easy enough to do if needed. The best part is the handle on the end of the bar for raising and and lowering the rack is moved out to the end of the fourth bike slot. However, with the handle further away from the hitch and adding additional racks and bikes, there is much more weight to lift now. You definitely want to lift with your legs rather than your back on this one! The instructions say it has a weight capacity of ~150 lbs across all four bikes, which easily accommodates four adult mountain bikes, but it's a lot to lift for one person (Note: about half of that weight is supported by the hitch when lifting). My other favorite part about the rack is that once the hitch mount is tightened, the rack and bikes don't sway at all, even with the added weight and length!
