Spacious, Smooth, and Roadie-Ready
The 5X MAX hitch bike rack gives your bikes room to stretch out with 15 inches between each tire basket, making it a top pick for riders who mix mountain, road, and eBike adventures. Haul up to 300 lbs with confidence, with the unmatched capability to carry 5 road bikes with drop bars (or anything else you can throw at it). Smooth lowering, easy storage, and full lift-gate access all come standard. It’s the rack with range, for riders with range.

Weight - 94 lbs
Width - 73 inches
Height - 58.75 inches
- Do not go through automated car washes with rack attached to vehicle
- 2" (50mm) Class III hitch with tongue capacity of 500 lbs
- 3 3/8 inch (86mm) depth past center of hitch pin hole to insert a VelociRAX
- Do not exceed 300 lbs total bike weight (damage may result to vehicle hitch receiver)
** 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: you will 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.
- As with any vertical rack low clearance vehicles hauling long wheelbase bikes need to be careful, especially when backing up.
