Rack Warehouse: Thule Gatemate Pro

The new Saris 4031 MTR 1 Bike Platform Style Hitch Mounted Bicycle Rack is a premium, all-aluminum bicycle rack compatible with both 1.25" and 2" hitches. The 4033 MTR 1 Bike or 4034 MTR 2 Bike Add-On can expand your bike carrying capacity to 2 or 3 bikes - even on smaller hitches. Installing the 4031 MTR in your hitch receiver is simple and tool-free, and the included locking cap secures the rack to your vehicle. Locking security doesn't stop there - an integrated cable lock is also included to secure your the bikes to the rack. The 4031 MTR can carry bikes with nearly any size tires, from 20" kid's bikes all the way up to a 29+ or 27.5 x 5" fat tire bikes. Large wheelbase bikes are no problem, either - the 4031 MTR handles wheelbases up to  53". With the current trends in MTB geometry, this is a must for bike racks to fit all bike styles. The 4031 MTR is designed to carry heavy regular bikes and e-bikes up to 60lbs. (If you use the 1 or 2 bike add-ons, the 2nd bike position is also rated at 60lbs, and the 3rd position is rated at 35lbs.) The front and rear tire cradles provide 4 points of contact with your bike's wheels, providing the most secure connection to the bike. The included rear wheel strap offers additional security and may be required on certain bikes, like fender bikes. The Saris MTR features an angled main spine to provide additional clearance for lower vehicles - this also helps prevent any saddle to handlebar conflict when carrying multiple bikes. The tray also has a unique pivoting and nesting feature which makes loading your bike a breeze and provides a more compact position when not in use. Saris has incorporated two easy handholds to make moving and installing the MTR simpler. The Saris 4031 MTR bike rack can be tilted away from the vehicle with your bike still loaded, allowing easy access to your vehicle's rear hatch. The Saris 4031 MTR bike rack comes fully assembled, so get yours today and hurry back out on the trails!
