The QuikrStuff Mach 2 hitch rack popped on our radar via AWOLs Overland Digest, and its interesting in several ways. This new LV (literally Longer Version) just launched with a longer stinger to help it clear bumpers, tailgates, etc.For starters, theres the eerie similarity to 1UP USAs racks. And thats because QuikrStuffs founder Cal Phillips originally founded 1UP USA with the Quik Rack, too. He sold that company, and after the original patents expired, he got back in the game to bring a few new ideas to market.Where 1UP has branched out into heavy duty racks for motos, overland gear mounts, QuikrStuff is (for now anyway) focused on bicycles. Their single model, the Mach2, starts with a 1-bike Single Rack base.Then, you can by Add-Ons to increase capacity up to four bikes, but the trick is in how they attach.If you skipped the video above, heres how it works:Unbox and install base rackClick Add-On into placeLoad bikesInstalling each Add-On takes just five seconds and zero tools. Its just as easy to remove, simply hold the release lever that locks it into place, tilt it up, and pull it off. Even better, each Add-On has a release lever, so you never have to reach all the way under the rack to tilt it up.It tilts down, too, letting you drop it down to access the back of your vehicle. And the whole thing folds up to the size of a small carry-on suitcase, making it easy to stow in your trunk or garage when not in use.The new LV model has a total weight rating of 165lbs, but actual max capacity depends on your configuration:1 bike 75 pounds2 bikes 130 pounds total3 bikes 165 pounds total4 bikes 105 pounds totalFor e-bike users, theres also a quick-add Ramp that attaches to the rear of the rack in the same way. This makes it super easy to transport without having to shove it in your vehicle (or create manufacturing complexity by trying to slide it into the rack).QuikrStuff Mach2 LV Specs & Weights:Weight: 30.9 poundsShipping weight: 35.2 poundsTray length: 56.3Folded size: 28- x 17- x 7-Shipping dimensions: 31x19x9Base racks range from $799 to $879 and come in 2 and 1.25 versions.
