I have this rack and it's MOST EXCELLENT.

Some things to note:

- It's definitely worth getting the built-in cable lock.
- if you have a modern large truck and do you want the tailgate to come down? You need the drop hitch extension.
- If you have a 2.5 or 3 inch receiver with a sleeve you cannot use the sleeve with the stabilizer in the drop hitch. You need to make sure you order the drop hitch for your maximum receiver size.
- 20 inch wheels will fit in the standard basket, but the forks will slightly touch. If you want only rubber contact order the 20 inch basket for your kids.

I wish they made an all black color version. Not good looking like Kuat but it looks functional and easy to use. I think it's a solid rack if you need to carry 4+ bikes.

Love my velocirax. Got the 7 but usually carry 4. Super nice knowing I can take whole family plus some of my kids friends on a ride.

I am seeing more of these at the trailhead. I assume that is due to their function. I'm fine with what I presently have, but when it needs to be replaced, I will be looking at this for sure.

Find another 7-bike rack, I'll wait. Some of us have big families, big bikes, or want to ride with friends and family. Also , ebikes are no joke and significantly heavier than a non ebike and a heavy duty rack is required.

It's $700 discounted price for the 3 bike version. The 7 bike version is $885.

I have one and can't recommend it enough. Incredibly well built and user friendly. Easiest way to carry 3+ bikes. The major downside is you will now by default be the shuttle vehicle for the group ride 😂

I don't know much about this brand of racks, but looks like they only offer a 2 year warranty on these. However, other top brands like Kuat and 1Up have lifetime warranties. Anyone know how the three brands compare in quality and durability?

I don't see "free shipping" listed. I bet shipping is a lot for these heavy racks, so may not be that great of deal.

Shipping to the Bay Area is about $116 in case anyone is wondering, and looks like you can pick up in Lehi, UT for free

What does it do to your gas mileage? I have an f150 with topper and a 1up rack. 4 bikes doesn't even affect the mileage. I get around 20mpg with the bikes or without. I spoke with someone with an f250 but they didn't know because they changed multiple things at once and were getting like 14mpg. Anyone have an idea? I might just keep cramming extra bike in the topper.

I'm sure it varies by vehicle, but in general (not specific to Velocirax), hitch mounted racks are supposed to be negligible/low impact on mileage. If you are getting no impact on a roof rack with 4 bikes, I don't see how a 5th would make a difference, so I don't think I'd buy this for the sake of improved fuel economy. (I have read, in the worst case, roof racks can cause 35% decrease in fuel economy, but that doesn't sound like it applies to you).

Go ahead and start manufacturing a cheaper one at scale? I'll buy one if you do.
