Rotating Arm with Ratcheting Hook
The Transfer V2 has a ratcheting hook that grabs your bike firmly by the front wheel - not the frame. It's perfect for carrying a carbon bike or bike with a custom paint job. To load your bike, simply place the front wheel in the cradle, rotate the arm up and over the wheel, and press down firmly on the ratcheting hook.
Front-Wheel Cradle with Adjustable Pitch
In its upright position the front cradle sits at the optimal position for holding a normal-size bike. However, you can adjust the cradle so that a smaller bike sits more toward the center of the rack. To adjust the pitch, use the included Allen key to flip the bolt locator tab upside down.
Pivoting Rear-Wheel Cradle
The rear wheel cradle accommodates a wide variety of bike wheelbases. It pivots front to back, adjusting automatically to your bike's wheelbase - no need for sliding and tightening. Secure the wheel in place with the built-in ratcheting strap. A strap extender (sold separately) lets you carry a fat bike.
U-Shape Frame
Most platform-style racks force you to reach out and over the rack to load your bikes. The U-shaped frame allows you to get closer to your bike to lift it. Also, it won't block your backup camera when it's folded up.
Foot Lever for Easy Tilting and Folding
The spring-loaded foot lever is easily accessible even with your bike loaded. No more crawling through your bike or squeezing between the rack and the vehicle to hit the tilt release lever.
The foot lever lets you tilt the rack down with your bike loaded for cargo area access. It leaves both hands free so that you can lower the rack in a controlled manner. When the rack is unloaded you can fold it up for storage.
Easy Installation
The rack is easy to install. Just slide the shank into your hitch and use the included 8-mm Allen wrench to tighten the ball cam. An anti-rattle wedge is deployed inside the shank to help take play out of the hitch connection.
The rack has a removable aluminum sleeve that lets you convert it for use in 1-1/4" hitches.
Complete Security for Bike and Rack
The Allen wrench has an indentation, so it can only be used with the Transfer. This helps keep the rack secure on your vehicle. You'll need to store it in a safe place because you'll need it when you want to remove the rack. You can also use a locking hitch pin (sold separately) for extra rack security.
The Transfer also includes a cable lock that secures your bike to the rack. The 1/4" thick, braided steel cable threads through your bike's frame, and locks back into the rack.

This lightweight, 1-bike rack is perfect for the serious cyclist as well as the occasional rider. It's safe for a carbon frame, and the foot pedal lets you use both hands to tilt the rack for trunk access and fold it up for storage.by: Fred12/07/2022
I ordered the Kuat Transfer V2 bike rack for 1 bike to install on my 2014 Jeep Compass and couldn’t be happier. I only transport one bike and I wanted a bike rack that would let me use my tail gate when it was in the up position without having to lower it. This rack fit the bill. It is easy to load my bicycle and it securely holds the bicycle in place.
I would have given this a five star rating, but the 1 bike rack comes with a combo 1 ¼ - 2 inch shank and the 5/8 inch lock pin hole does not line up with the hole in the receiver. The rack comes with a smaller diameter pin and to go through the hole. I had to order the 2 inch only shank that comes with the 2 bike carrier to get what I wanted. Now I can use a locking 5/8 inch hitch pin. I wish there was an option provide to by the 2 inch only shank when ordering the carrier for 1 bike.

Super fast free shipping, I received the rack the very next day. The quality of the Kuat rack seems excellent so far. The tilting feature does allow me to lower the tailgate of the pickup with the bike on the rack which is a nice feature since I have a camper top installed on the truck
by: Charles 12/21/2022
Easy assembly, made of high quality material,easy to install and solid when on the car. Highly recommend. Etrailer rep was wonderful in helping with my order and keeping me informed in every step.

This rack is exactly what I was looking for for my 45lb E-bike. I worked with Chris from etrailer and he came through with flying colors with information, manuals, and even a fair price match for the part. The Kuat racks are best known for durability and great customer service with a Lifetime warranty. It solved the problem of being able to confidently have a heavier bike on the rack which has an impressive 60lb rating. This rack was changed from last years model of 45lb limit. That sealed the deal knowing that this rack will carry a very expensive E-bike without worries of it coming off on the road. Great peace of mind! Cheers to etrailer and their team!

Great Rack! Delivered as promised
Robert - 03/26/2022by: Monica 08/29/2022
It was easy to put together. It is light enough for me to to put on my car.
If one more feature could be added…… a way to “drop” the rack down for loading. I have a hybrid e-bike and it is a little heavy to lift onto the rack.
by: Andrea06/16/2022
The bike rack has been all over town and took a cross country trip. It’s been easy to use and I’ve enjoyed having it. I have a 60 pound ebike and transporting it has been great.
by: Elaine03/01/2022
Just what I needed. At 76 yrs., I can handle easily.
by: Blaze03/27/2022
Easy assembly and quality rack - probably the best I have ever seen.
by: Gary 03/15/2021
This is my second Kuat transfer, I am very pleased with them. I use them in different locations.
I have 2 different e-bikes weighing about 60 pounds.

Review from a similar Transfer V2 in Hitch Bike Racks
We love this bike rack. We bought a couple ebikes and needed something we could use behind our travel trailer when camping and the truck when we just want to drive to some trails. When we were looki g, many can't be used behind travel trailers. We absolutely love the way its built - its sturdy, high quality, pretty easy to put together - good instructions. Love the tilting feature - use one foot - very easy. Love that it comes with the cable lock for the bikes, It is very adjustable for a wide range of bikes. We have step throughs. We did buy a hitch lock for extra security. We would recommend this rack to anyone.

Review from a similar Transfer V2 in Hitch Bike Racks
I purchased the Kuat Transfer V2 after trying and returning the less expensive and frustrating Thule Apex XT 4 which would have needed the additional cross supports to properly transport the three hardtail mountain bikes we own. After about 40 minutes of assembly of the V2 with a good set of instructions, I was able to install the rack on the back of our vehicle quickly and get the bikes loaded in no time. Bike loading with the split mast design was easy and I was able to reach the foot pivot to lower the rack for access into the rear of the vehicle with the bikes loaded easily. The bikes sat in the support cradles securely and the handlebars did not interfere with each other. The rear tire ratchet straps were easy to secure and did not interfere with the wheel cradles while loading the bikes which I liked. The bike lock is easy to access and the cable secured to the rack easily. Overall I’m very pleased with the purchase and glad I sprung a bit more for a platform rack.

Review from a similar Transfer V2 in Hitch Bike Racks
Received in a wel packaged box yesterday afternoon and quickly assembled following excellent step by step instructions. Rack to be mounted to my truck 2 inch hitch later this afternoon, then will size each of the three bikes on each platform. Want to thank e- trailer from order to delivery, great support. Next step based on excellent recommendation from Kyle S back on 18 Feb is to add a swing out capability with the Yakima back swing swing away hitch extender later this Fall, one step at a time. More to follow, Thanks!

See what our Experts say about this Kuat Hitch Bike Racks
- Availability of Ramp Attachment for Kuat KU64FR Transfer Bike RackKuat doesn't offer a ramp option for their Transfer series of bike racks, nor do any other of our single bike racks. This being said, it's actually not terribly difficult to load a bike on a platform rack, especially this one with its open center section. You'd first adjust the front arm with the hook as low as it will go. Then, wheel the bike up next to the bike rack, so that the front wheel is sitting just forward of the front wheel cradle. Then, apply the rear brake while holding onto...
view full answer... - Will Kuat Transfer 1 Bike Rack Obstruct View of Backup CameraThe Kuat Single Transfer part # KU64FR would slightly obstruct the view of the backup camera of your 2018 Chevy Volt but for the most part you'd be looking over the top of your bike if it was loaded and through the frame and you'd still be able to see behind you. If the rack wasn't loaded with a bike you'd basically have a totally unobstructed view.
view full answer... - Kuat Transfer 1 Anti-Rattle Capability for a 2019 Toyota HighlanderThe Kuat Transfer 1 # KU64FR comes with the anti-rattle bolt and a cable lock. This way you gain a lock and keep your anti-rattle device. The Kuat Transfer 1 fits your Highlander's 2 inch hitch out of the box with the included adapter. The below video is a great resource showing how the anti-rattle bolt can reduce hitch movement and rattle.
view full answer... - How Far Does Kuat Transfer 1 Bike Rack Stick Out on Rear of VehicleThe Kuat Transfer 1 bike rack part # KU64FR that you referenced will stick out 28 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole it is installed in. So what you'll want to do is measure from the center of your hitch pin hole out 28 inches and you'll know exactly where the rack would stick out to.
view full answer... - Platform Bike Rack Similar to Kuat Transfer with Capacity for Electric BikeI have a solution that would work well for you, but I cannot recommend the 2-bike version of the Kuat Transfer V2, part # KU74FR for an E-bike that weighs as much as yours does. The wheel hoops are what is rated for 40 lbs so you would not be able to exceed the single bike capacity by staying under the combined capacity with one bike. Since you're only carrying 1 bike, I recommend the Kuat Transfer V2 bike rack, part # KU64FR. This is a single bike rack with a weight capacity of 60 lbs...
view full answer... - Kuat Transfer 1 Bike Rack Compatibility with Trek Pure SportThe # KU64FR Kuat Transfer 1 Bike Platform Rack is a tire mount rack that fits a variety of bike frame styles. It supports up to a 50 inch wheelbase bike and the Trek Pure Sport has a wheelbase of 46.25 inches so it does fit your bike. It's worth noting an additional bike add on capability with the 1 Bike Add-On for Kuat Transfer 1-Bike Platform Rack part # KU57FR. A hitch of 1 1/4 inch or 2 inches is required for this rack so we would be happy to recommend one as well should you not...
view full answer... - Recommended Single Platform Bike Rack Adapting to Two Bike RackThanks for your kind words! We do have bike racks that can be single or two bike carriers. I recommend the Kuat Transfer 1 Bike Platform Rack # KU64FR because the design makes loading easy for one or two bikes because there isn't a bar in the middle so you can walk the bike from the balanced middle right to the cradles. Then you would add the 1 Bike Add-On for Kuat Transfer # KU57FR. I've attached a video to assist.
view full answer... - Best Lightweight, Well Made and Rust Resistant Platform Style Bike RackOne of my favorite cost effective bike rack that has everything you're looking for is the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU64FR with the one bike add on # KU57FR. It's only about 45 lbs, well made and will not rust over time. Whatever metal components there are have a powder coated finish so it will not rust even if you keep it on your rack for a long time. Check out my review video to see how it works!
view full answer... - What Version of Kuat Transfer Does Add On KU64FR FitI wish we had the solution you are looking for but since your Transfer is the first generation model we don't have an add-on that works. The add-on part number you mentioned # KU57FR only fits the V2 models part # KU64FR. So if you were looking for a reason to upgrade your bike rack now would be a good time if you need a 2 bike rack.
view full answer... - Will the Kuat Transfer 1 Bike Add On Fit on a T201B Transfer V2Yes. The # KU57FR is compatible with the T201B Kuat Transfer V2 1 Bike Platform Rack # KU64FR.
view full answer... - Can The Kuat Transfer V2 3-Bike Rack Be Used As A Single Bike Rack?While you could technically slide off the cradles on your Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - 2" Hitches # KU24FR and use it as a single bike carrier, how it is not encouraged as it's not going to increase your carrying capacity, and would also leave a lot of excess, unused bar space. Instead, for a single bike carrier, you'd need to use the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 1 Bike - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # KU64FR. This bike rack has a maximum carrying capacity of 1-bike weighing 60-lbs,...
view full answer... - 1-1/4 Hitch Mount Folding Platform Style Bike Rack with Smallest Distance From Bumper When Folded UpWhen determining how far a rack is going to stick out on your vehicle, most racks are going to be measured from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest part of the rack; so the distance it's going to stick out depends on the receiver tube of your hitch and your vehicle's bumper. With that being said, I recommend going with the Kuat Transfer 1 # KU64FR since it offers the most narrow profile behind your vehicle and has the ability to be added onto with a 2nd platform to carry...

- Recommended Bike Rack For Mongoose Fat Tire BikeIf your Mongoose Fat Tire Bike is less than 60 lbs you can use the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU64FR. Like most racks, you'll need to get a fat tire adapter # APBK so the strap fits around your fat tires. If you decide you want more bikes loaded up, you can use this # KU57FR to add another bike too!
view full answer... - Bike Rack For Electric Bike On A 2013 Kia SoulIf you have a class I hitch # 24839 on your 2013 Kia Soul then you can use the Kuat Transfer # KU64FR. This is compatible with your 1-1/4" hitch receiver and can hold up to 60lbs per bike. If you were to add the one bike add on # KU57FR then you would only have 40lbs per bike.
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for 60 lb Schwinn Cruiser Tour on 1999 Honda AccordIt sounds like you're looking for a trunk mount bike rack, but these types of racks aren't designed to carry the weight of an e-bike, so that isn't an option for your application. Instead, I recommend the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 1 Bike # KU64FR which is confirmed to fit with your 1999 Honda Accord as long as you have a trailer hitch installed. This rack can carry a single bike with a maximum weight of 60 lbs and the rack itself only weighs 26 lbs, so it's super easy to take on...
view full answer... - Recommended Bike Rack with Best Backup Camera View on 2023 Subaru CrosstrekIf you're after the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 1 Bike then you'll need part # KU64FR which is compatible with both 1-1/4" and 2" hitches. Therefore, you can use pretty much any hitch on a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek with this rack but I do recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76209 since it's a bolt-on option and easy to install. In regards to backup camera visibility, you'll have partial restriction but due to the open design of this rack it should allow for...
view full answer... - Will Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 1 Bike Work with 4" Wide TiresThe Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 1 Bike part # KU64FR is only compatible with tires up to 3" wide out of the box. That said, it can be used with tires up to 5" wide when you add the Phat Bike Adapter Kit for Kuat Bike Racks part # APBK.
view full answer... - Does The Kuat 1 Bike Add-On Work With The First Generation Kuat Transfer Bike Racks?The 1 Bike Add-On for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks # KU57FR you mention is for the current generation Kuat bike racks like the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU64FR or # KU84FR and is not compatible with the first generation Kuat Transfer bike rack. Instead, you'll want to use the 1 Bike Add-On for Kuat Transfer 1-Bike Platform Rack # TSAOB for your Kuat Transfer 1 Bike Platform Rack # TS01B (NLA).
view full answer... - Comparing Kuat Transfer 1-Bike Add-On Kits For V1 and V2 Bike RacksThe 1 Bike Add-On # KU57FR allows you to add an additional bike to the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Racks 1-Bike # KU64FR, 2-Bike # KU84FR or 3-Bike # KU24FR racks. The 1-Bike Add-On # TSAOB is for the previous V1 version of the Kuat Transfer. The mounting connections are different between these 2 racks as it was upgraded to be more robust with the V2.
view full answer... - Kuat Transfer 1 Compared To Thule T1 Bike Rack On 2018 Mazda CX-5 Carrying Carbon Fiber BikesBoth racks are a great choice and will fit the hitch but the Kuat Transfer part # KU64FR is your best option because it weighs about 3 lbs less than the Thule T1 1-Bike Platform Rack part # TH9041 which isn't much but makes it a bit easier to take in and out of the hitch. The rack weighs about 26 lbs. It also tilts-away with the bike still attached for easy rear cargo access compared to the Thule that does not tilt-away at all. If you want to use a 2-bike platform rack that can carry...

- Bike Rack for Himiway Cruiser with Fenders and Fat TiresSince your Himiway Cruiser has fenders you'd need to go with a bike rack that grabs the bike by the frame instead and not by the wheel as the fender would get in the way. You'd want to go with an e-bike rack with fat tire wheel hoops like the Sport Rider SE part # HLY84FR which can fit up to 5 inch wide tires, has the weight capacity needed, and uses a frame clamp setup. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Single Bike Platform Rack for Bike with Full FendersThe Kuat Transfer 1 Bike Platform Rack # KU64FR will allow you to carry a bike with fenders if they are mounted in a way that will allow the clamping force needed to secure the bike without damage to the fender. With plastic fenders I don't recommend using that bike rack as it could deform your fender. For your RadCity Commuter bike, you could look at how the Thule T1 # TH9041 mounts. It says that it may interfere with front fenders. This rack will allow bikes up to 60 lbs with tires...

- Comparing Thule T1 Bike Rack and Kuat Transfer 1 Bike RackActually the Kuat Transfer 1 part # KU64FR you mentioned is lighter than the Thule T1 part # TH9041 by 3 lbs. It weighs 26 lbs and the T1 weighs 29. It's not a huge difference but if you prefer the tilting mechanism of the Kuat and aren't a fan of the latch system on the Thule I'd say the Kuat is your overall best choice! It's a big hit with our other customers who have tried it as well so I know you'll really like it. I attached a review video link for this rack for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Kuat Transfer 1 Bike Platform Rack Ground Clearance On Mazda CX-5Yes, The Kuat Transfer 1 Bike Platform Rack part # KU64FR is a great option for ground clearance in hilly areas because the shank has a 5" rise compared to the other options that my have straight shanks. The Kuat will sit up a little higher than the other options.
