Advantage FlatRack 2 Bike Carrier Platform Style Rack
Shouldn’t transporting your bike be as care-free as riding it? Now it is with FlatRack, the bike transporting solution that quickly loads and easily carries up to two bikes. Instead of requiring you to heft your bikes up high on a tippy roof rack, the FlatRack needs only a short lift to low mounts that secure quickly and easily. Integrated wheel straps and a third vertical attachment point keep everything stable on the road. Deep rugged wheel holders insure the bike has a smooth ride to its destination of deployment. Designed to quickly attach and detach on a 2-inch or 1 ¼-inch receiver hitch, FlatRack folds up adjacent the bumper for compact maneuvering when it’s on the car, or easy stowage in the garage when it’s not.
