A good bike rack keeps your bike secure, prevents damage to both your bike and car, and keeps the mess outside.
Our team of year-round riders has spent over eight years testing hitch, trunk, and roof-mount racks on various vehicles, terrains, and in different environments along the Pacific Coast to help you find the perfect rack for your bike, vehicle, and budget.
Our clear favorite rack is the Kuat Piston Pro. Its stellar construction, easy loading and unloading, and strong security features help it stand out in a crowded field. It’s expensive, but it costs a small fraction of what we spend on the bikes we transport.
If you’re more budget-oriented, the RockyMounts MonoRail is an excellent bike rack for the money. It’s highly versatile, easy to use, and fairly lightweight.
No hitch? No problem, the Thule Outway Hanging 2 straps onto the back of your sedan, hatchback, or minivan and can safely carry two bikes up to 66 pounds.
