Specs:
The Quad 2+2 quickly transforms from a 4-bike rack into a 2-bike rack to free-up space behind your vehicle. To remove the 2-bike add-on, unscrew the 10-mm Allen bolts with the included tool. Remove the 6-mm set screw, slide the end section out of the tube, and install the end cap to prevent water and dirt from getting into the rack.
The Quad's mast has a pair of ratcheting hooks that hold your bikes securely by the top tube. And because they move independently, you can carry bikes of different shapes and sizes. The hooks have soft padding that won't scratch or scuff your bike's paint.
The wheel cradles slide to accommodate bikes with different wheelbases. Hand knobs let you release the cradles to slide along the bike tray and adjust for your specific bike lengths. Each cradle has a ratcheting strap so you can secure your bikes' wheels during transport. If you need to carry fat bikes, there are cradles (sold separately) that let you carry bikes with tires up to 5" wide.
You can fold the masts down for access to your rear cargo area. Just pull the spring-loaded release lever at the base of each mast, and fold them down. You can also fold the rack up against your vehicle for storage. Pull the pin at the base of the rack, fold it up against your vehicle, and reinsert the pin in the hole at the bottom of the rack.
The ratcheting hooks have lock cores in the release buttons so you can secure your bikes to the rack. Simply slide the hooks over your bikes' top tubes until they click and lock them in place. There is also a keyed-alike locking hitch pin that secures the rack to your vehicle.

Assembly initially looked daunting but ended up being very simple an quick. Did need to do a combination of reading instructions and looking at picture on box. Really like the built in locks and mechanics. Did have one problem. The pin that is used when moving the unit from the down to raised position did not fit correctly. The holes were not drilled in quite the right spot and had to use a hammer to get the pin in and out. Purchased a drill bit and got the holes lined up so that is now fixed. Plan to use the unit in a week for a trip to Colorado and spousal unit wanted to take both the road and cross over bikes. Will see how well it works out. 828728
Bought this hitch online and we were worried it wouldn’t be sturdy enough. Put it together today and we are very impressed by the quality of the materials and the ease of putting it together. 828284
More solid and heavy than I thought it would be. Inspires confidence. Folks at retailer have good advice through the process. 827874
I really like this bike rack so far and the fact that I can set it up for 1-4 bikes is awesome and why I chose this one in the first place but the instructions are TERRIBLE!! Yo basically have to figure it out for yourself which is an unnecessary waste of time if they would just supply decent instructions to begin with! Good solid rack and the fact that it came with a hitch lock was an unexpected bonus. 802016
